Ridiculously greasy hair compliments of a full day of work. ;)

Not that I had a reason to wear them this wet winter anyway, but I temporarily lost my sunglasses and just recovered them last month when Chris sold his truck. Turns out they were hiding in his glove box, as he likes to wear them too. Nothing like a good pair of unisex shades.

I bought these shoes yesterday at Goodwill and they’re just a touch too big. I’ve gotten more than one recommendation to wear thick socks with them, or to get inserts put into the toe but I’m mostly worried I’ll look like Ronald McDonald if I dare wear shoes I know are too big!

There are a couple more shots on my Flickr (here and here) and, like I mentioned over there, at least they’re nice to look at. :)

Happy Friday everyone!

As I was heading down the stairs on my way to work yesterday I noticed a big huge box in the hallway with my name on it. It was my *emera camera bag.

I was so excited and so mad at the same time. Mad that I didn’t check earlier to see if it had arrived, and excited that I could finally stop throwing my huge camera into a tiny purse with back-breakingly thin straps. And not only that, but I can carry other things with me now, too! Extra lenses! Moleskine! Gameboy! Seriously, why didn’t I save up for this sooner?

This morning I made a special trip to the market for a test drive. It is amazamazing. This camera bag is not only comfortable and fashionable, but durable, too. There is nothing cheap about it, which includes the price tag, but believe me when I say that it is worth so much more.

Most of all, I love that I can now go out and shoot without toting around a squishy, silver bag that looks more like a lunchbox than a camera bag.

Thank you, Nathiya!

I think it’s safe to say that Portland’s cold snap is officially over, but this is what Chris and I looked like for the last week or so whenever we had to go outside and brave the elements.

Considering I’ve been getting some opening shifts that require me to walk to work at 5:30 am, I have become undoubtedly undecided on my feelings towards the prospect of snow.
