New Dock!

Inspired to do some New Year organization and this wonderful post by Jessica Hische, I now have a nice new shiny dock!

What new projects are you going to do this year?

Holga Photography

Digital cameras are wonderful. Personally I love my Nikon D60 with its amazing speed, quality and sharpness. However, if you want to try something completely different, you should look at a Holga. It's an unassuming plastic camera, that at first glance you wonder if it's a child's toy.

Then when you look at some of the pictures you take, you realize that you have something special. The picture quality is soft and dreamlike, with a lot of character. You will see a lot of photographers try to emulate this look, but this is the real deal!

(Want to see more pictures? Look here at a website all about Holga.)

And if you weren't already having enough fun, look at this fabulous white version available at Urban Outfitters.


Happy picture taking!

Hotlanta gets SNOW?

Yes, it's true... for the second time this week, it's Winter Storm Watch 2008! If you can believe it, the snow is coming down again today. There was high anticipation of everything closing down on Thursday – work included – unfortunately, there wasn't enough snow/ice for that. Here is a pic from Wednesday evening.

Today, however, it has been sleeting and snowing since about 9am, and the grass is actually white. Took the dog for a walk, and this is what it looked like around 11:30.

It's quite a novelty here when it snows... we're afraid to go to the grocery store for fear there will be nothing left. My husband and I (as well as Ellen) are all from the north, so this very humorous to us. The entire city is convinced they will be out of power and snowed into their homes for days and days. Meanwhile, we're going to make reservations to dine out this evening!
Wish us luck in our Winter Wonderland...
