Merry Christmas!


I thought about making and mailing Christmas cards but finals and snow kept me from it. This is what it would have looked like, except I wouldn't have been wearing a Christmas sweater and it wouldn't have been in color (those things are much easier in digital). So this version is better... except that you don't get it in your mailbox with a heartfelt personalized note from me inside.
Anyway... is it giving anyone any ideas?!? Anyone?!

It snowed even more overnight

Today was supposed to be my last day of work, but since cars and buses like these keep getting stuck...



I really didn't think I was going to be able to drive my car (if I could even get it dug out from under a foot of snow). So I called in to see if the store was even open. My (now former!) manager, ever the inconsiderate jerk, started spouting off orders:
"The district manager says everyone has to have chains on their tires or use public transit to get to work; weather is not an excuse. So you'll need to get some chains before the next time you work."
"Um... you said today was going to be my last day."
"Oh."

Snowed In


My car and apartment buried.

They don't salt the roads here.

Looking down from the pedestrian bridge near my house.

Evidence of iced-over entertainment on the parking lot across from my house.

It's been snowing all week


And I don't feel like leaving my apartment. Expect your Christmas present from me to be late.

Photography Final






A "Home"y Mobile





Final project in my 3d Design class.
(It's hanging from a stand because my apartment has 12-foot ceilings and I can't reach that high to hang it)

Still snowing


Driving to work in this week's second snow storm. When I got there, I was told I wouldn't be working there anymore after Monday due to the global economic collapse.

Still Cold and Snowy


I haven't seen alot of salt on the roads, but I have seen lots of cars sliding around.

Photograms





This is the only photo assignment I've gotten an A on. Maybe I'm not a photographer... maybe I'm just a blogger.

First Thursday


If you look through this little crystal ball, the spools of thread on the wall look like a Campbell's soup can. (Piece by Devorah Sperber and part of the Manuf®actured show at the Portland Museum of Contemporary Craft.)
