Jan. 20

Aaaand I fail at resolutions apparently. I can't even make it through the first month? I have been slightly overwhelmed with activities and jobs... at least in another week I'll have one job and not two (but what did I do tonight? Oh yeah, get applications for another second job... smart.) I'm trying to get cards made up to give to a gallery here in Lawrence which is also taking up time, and I haven't even given them any yet! I think I am worrying about how to present them too much.

Anyways, because I am lame here are a couple more photos I've taken recently on our trip to the KC zoo.

Dec. 31

Something is very wrong this year... only two days ago my family and I went to the zoo in Kansas city and I didn't even need a coat. Today it's supposed to get up to 63 degrees! I don't know what's happening, but I'm trying to make the most of being outside in this gorgeous weather.

Since I seem to be neglecting this blog as of late, a good resolution for the new year would be to post more often... maybe once a week? I'd also like to spend more of my time creatively, that's been lacking in my life lately too. I think I'm going to take a screen printing class at the Lawrence Arts Center and I'm excited to learn a new medium!

Until then, here are some pictures of the last month of my life with my lovely little Diana Mini.

Nov. 19

Goodness, I've been busy. I went to Chicago last weekend (and had a blast!). Among many fantastic things about that weekend, one in particular was extra fantastic: I got a Diana mini in a big Urban Outfitters sale. Sarah is happy.

I've wanted a lomography camera for quite a while, but didn't want to mess with the medium format film, pricier developing, and less pictures. This little camera just uses 35mm film and came with a flash (with interchangeable color films and adapters for use on different cameras!) and a book of photos. I'm mostly excited about the flash. I can use it on my Cannon AE-1, which has previously never had one. I went through a whole roll of film in about a day, and while most of the pictures were underexposed, a few came out really well!

I'm really going to try and take pictures more with it, since I don't have to really worry so much about them being perfectly composed or in focus.
