Self Portrait Update

Here are a few photos to be added to my Self Portrait. I find it funny that as I grow older I expect to be more independent and able to take care of myself. The complete opposite has happened. I need those in my life more than ever. Thanks to everyone that lets me stick my camera in their face.

White, Fluffy Precip

It's been snowing for the past couple of days. It's funny how people around here (and other places I've lived that don't normally experience snow) freak out at the mention of snow. Businesses close. Schools close. They just don't know how to handle it. On my drive home, about 2 hours after it had started snowing, I drove past someone who had slid into a ditch. It's just funny to me, that's all.

On my drive home I came around this turn that I had driven around numerous times before, but for some reason the snow on the ground made it just unfamiliar enough to make me look at how interesting it is. So I swung around to take a picture. I ended up spending about half an hour taking a few long exposures and while I was out there I was approached by a teenage boy that was looking for his friends. I told him that I had seen a couple of people up the street and he went off to investigate. He walked up the road that I was shooting, leaving footprints on the side of the road with snow on it. I continued to shoot, incorporating the visual element that he gifted me, and after several minutes he came back down without anyone.
"Didn't find them?" I asked.
"No."
"That's a bummer," I replied.
"You a photograph-er or somethin?"
"Yup."

Let's Wipe the Slate Clean, Shall We?

Okay, so I have been really terrible at keeping up with this blog, but I am going to try my darndest to do better this year. I figure the best way to start this year would be to review just how last year went. 2009 was filled with amazing people and fantastic adventures. These photos of course can in no way fully describe the year or the people that I shared it with. They are but a glimpse.
