Brr. It's cold.

 Marshall Street. I took this picture from inside through a window cause it was too cold to go outside to take it.
.....But then I braved the cold and went outside for this. I like the colors and the wear and tear.
 This particular section of rock had a wonderful color to it. I enjoy this because it's not covered in snow and it doesn't lose it's color because of salt. Also, there's surprisingly little chaos in this picture. It's simple because it's just rocks, but it's exciting because it's many different shapes and colors of rocks.
 I wish I shifted my camera up just slightly so I didn't get that building in the picture. It doesn't fit. Oh well. I like that by facing the camera into the sun makes everything else a different color through the lens of the camera. This tree was grey in my eyes, but in the lenses eyes, black. Also, the sun creates this beautiful lightness. Almost like a beacon of hope in a blizzard of Seasonal Affective Disorder
 A neat little trailway. I like the line up of the trees. This was the second picture of this area. The first didn't do the line of trees any justice. This angle makes it look more fun.
 "Hey Sam, stand alongside this puddle and pretend to walk" is what I told her to do and so now the shot makes it look like either she's upside down or I am. and it's neither. Reflection in a melted snow puddle.
Same as before but without the tree.

Day Two

 Playing with angles. So yeah, this is me and so it's technically not me taking the picture. However, i directed the person taking the picture on how to take it so I could get what I wanted.

 Also playing with different lighting. No matter how you spin it, though, it looks bad ass in black and white. And the ring adds a nice touch.
 This is my friend's disco ball and I was trying to get a good shot of all the sparkles bouncing off. However, I'm not a fan of the yellow effect that I'm getting. It could just be the room and therefore we deal. But I refuse to accept that answer.
 Sexy. Ladies and gentleman, I give you "After Tech." These lovely ladies were in tech for forever and they still look lovely. But I must say, the Mint Brownie ice cream looks more delectable
                                      
 Playing with light again. But actually playing with light. This is a lighter. Trying to light her face while also getting a crisp image of the light.
 It's a bit dark, but it's also secretive. So that's neat.
......Don't look so scared.

Gingerbread Man. My favorite tree decoration. And the most delicious :d

This is my favorite model. But most cantankerous. She only likes to work when it's convenient. Otherwise, the photos turn out rather boring.     ...... cat-ankerous


I love the new setting on my camera. In SCN mode, they have a candlelight setting. I think I lit this candle so many times just to experiment with different angles. I enjoy how clear the light turned out.


This game is not only super fun, but a wonderful object to photograph. I enjoy the colors and the clarity.


One of my favorite places in the world. Myrtle Beach. Not the best picture, but it causes an inner serenity that I hope to fine tune the more I visit.


My other favorite model. We were bored one night. So we traveled around our dorm.


Hooligan. All she needs is a cigarette
