Something simple, to mark my last month living in this house, this little room.

I took a little solo trip a few weeks ago out to Camel's Hump in Huntington, Vermont to get some footage for a video I was making for a class (posted below—everyone loves Maurice Sendak & Where the Wild Things Are, right? right). It was a nice change of scenery and, really, a near-perfect day.

Beautiful light never fails to get an audible gasp from me - it's one of the things I'm most thankful for.  I will always, always, always be chasing light.

Been doing a whole lot of playing in the snow with my roommates lately. Here are a few snaps from the past week or so.

Lake Champlain froze over, so we went out to slip and skate around and explore.

College is a weird photo environment - it's hard to find time alone, and while in a lot of ways it's brought me out of my shell and made me much less shy and introverted, sometimes I still need that time to myself. Self portraiture has been a comforting exercise for me in the past few years; that time with myself becomes strangely therapeutic. I haven't had much time or opportunity to take many self portraits throughout the past semester or two, so I sometimes end up revisiting old ones. Here are a few of my favorites, some that I don't think I've ever shared with the internet before.

This last one is based off of a passage from one of my favorite books, Everything is Illuminated  by Jonathan Safran Foer:

"If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it walls, and we will furnish it with soft, red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does."

While I was home for winter break last month I had the pleasure of photographing Candance and Karl's wedding! It was three days before Christmas and so joyful. Plus... they had the most enormous Christmas tree I've EVER seen, which was pretty amazing. Not even sure how that thing got through the door.
