oh, the joys

my new camera has come! and it is probably the most badass camera that anyone has ever owned. unless you own a 1D, or a 5D, or a markII... or a large format camera... but or some sort of high powered nikon.
anyways, some playing around shots:


redo with the new camera:

365: 1/7-1/14

yeah, yeah, i know. i'm behind.


jan 7- docks by the toby bridge; playing around with tilt-shift



jan 8- ice near the docks



jan 9- tributary to the clarion river, flooded



jan 10- clarion river (i don't really like the focus on this, but oh well)



jan 11- bridge near emlenton, pa



jan 12- random doodle in my notebook, cup of coffee. this pretty much epitomizes my college experience.



jan 13- reference books, clarion university library



jan 14- river hill, very blue sky

i can has paradoxes?

what, did all the web comic designers get together and decide on a theme for today?
all the comics in my google reader are about paradoxical universes! well, accept for wondermark. that comic was about a kitten on a stove.

observe:

falling behind

so lately, i've been lagging on everything, including blogging and knitting. i've just been so damned tired lately! i think it's my body reacting to the new semester, classes and work starting again. i have technically been keeping up with my 365 pics, but i've failed to actually upload them to the computer. i win, i know.
hopefully sometime this weekend. :crosses fingers:

project 365- week one

jan 1st- warming my feet by the fire



jan 2nd- my grandmother's christmas tree



jan 3rd- my brother, christopher



jan 4th- my friend's new baby, willow susan



jan 5th- mermaid gloves, wip



jan 6th- my puppy, tasha

the infamous tattoo

that didn't turn out right. however, lots of you have asked for pictures, so here they are:






they were supposed to be... symmetrical, and they are clearly not. my plan is to go back on friday and see what can be done about this problem. i may get the larger of the two birds turned into a red-winged blackbird, but of course that is all speculation at this point.

bad mood

i'm in one. ever since new year's i just feel depressed and sullen, like there's no point to doing anything. i applied for a new job, because i could really use more money, and they haven't called. my house is trashed, it will probably need to be entirely shampooed, and i don't have the cash for a rug shampooer. my schedule for next semester looks... dubious at best. (read no english classes available)
i think i'm exhausted. yet, that dosen't make any sense, when i've just been on vacation. however, returning to my apartment has put me in a terrible view of things.

i'm getting a tattoo tomorrow. i don't even care.
