Merry Christmas, One and All!!

In October we took a little road trip to Morganton to see Teri run her marathon. Once we congratulated her at the finish line we got back in the car and headed over to Asheville, which is pretty much the hippie capital of North Carolina. It's a really cute, artsy little town in the Blue Ridge Mountains that has lots of fun stores to peruse, including one that sells only antique belt buckles. Anyways, I'll have to post pictures from Asheville later, but on our way out of town we hopped on the Blue Ridge Parkway which is this gorgeous scenic two-lane drive that has the most amazing fall colors. When we got up to the top of the mountain there was this crazy fog rolling in and we stopped to take some pictures. Even though it was only October we decided they would be our Christmas card pictures...even though they're kind of creepy.





Merry Christmas, and may all your New Year's dreams come true.

History of Photography - Final

So I've been a little busy lately doing stuff like this:













That was my final project for History of Photography, the interesting part anyways...I'm guessing nobody wants to read my 6 page paper about the artistic context of Edward Weston, who I "emulated", his photographic philosophies, and the similarities and differences between our work. I know 6 pages may not sound like a lot to people like Hannah, but writing is kind of a painful experience for me (I can already hear Brent going "kind of???" haha). Seriously, I almost started crying when he told me I had to rearrange the whole thing and write a new conclusion. But I did it. And it's done. And I got an A.


Also, doesn't the pepper kind of look like it has a bottom? And that ginger root made the BEST cookies....mmmmmmm....
