Over one year later...

I'm still here. :) I post mostly over in my locked LJ though.

Finished 365 in August 2009: http://www.krsnyder.com/365Gallery.html

Started 365 II: Macro Edition in October 2009: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oceanstorme/sets/72157622497292276/

Yeah, when 365 ended, I didn't know what to do with myself! It felt weird not to shoot everyday! So I decided to do another, only using my 100mm f/2.8 macro lens for all shots. It's been fun so far - winter is tough though.

Also, I'm engaged. :) Alex proposed on September 4th; we're aiming for an October 2011 wedding. Crazy!

Two more years (well, two and a half, to be exact) of school left; I'll be graduating spring of 2012.

How's life out there? :)

Alive!

So, there's rumors of LJ shutting down - that would suck. I've had a journal (albeit 95% private/friends only) since 2002 - I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't post, share my photographs, read my friends page. :(

But I could always take up this blog full-time if LJ shuts down - the only thing I don't like is that I can't make friend's only posts or private posts here...can I?

Updated. Check it out.

Pinks and Purples.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish all my little owls once I get done my last week of finals next week. For now, it's back to work.

Sunshine from a roadside stand.

September

Hard to believe the summer is over. In a way I'm glad; all the traffic can go back home.

We went for a walk yesterday - leaving my camera and his tablet at home. We averaged a 20 minute mile and walked to the artesian well and back; 3.6 miles. It felt good - I love a nice long walk at a good pace. If I had brought my camera it would have taken us 3 hours. ;)

On the way back to the car, I gathered a few signs of autumn: Ginkgo leaves, persimmons, magnolia pods, and a feather. We also saw deer, squirrels, skinks, and a turtle since we were out fairly early.

Cats & Finds

Alex ordered both these for me off of ebay - the owl wasn't the first, second OR third one I wanted (they all went for $30+) but I think I like it. He is cute.






Kobol has been a little demon lately, albeit a ridiculously cute one. She's been dragging a My Little Pony around with her everywhere. And the other night, she knocked his new sneakers in the box off a shelf, tore up the paper, and settled down with My Little Pony which she nestled into a shoe!

Odds and Ends.

What I've been doing in my Not Free Time:



Making more owls. There are even more in progress right now. I'm insane.



Baking cookies. Diets be damned. In my defense, though, I did a total of 10.5 miles at work a week ago, and then last weekend we did a 3.6 mile walk in Estell Manor Park.

Also, my embroidery thread collection from when I was younger has come in handy with my owls:






The weather has been lovely - hitting the low sixties at night, and barely breaking 80 during the days. I'm totally ready for Autumn - and especially ready for all the summer traffic to leave. Summer session is half over - and I have so much work to get done - I just finished midterms (A's thankyouverymuch) and have some major projects for Print Production to complete, as well as papers and exams for History of Graphic Design. I registered for my two courses next quarter - Tuesday afternoon and NIGHT. Ugh! I'm taking Conceptual Imagery and Typography II - two core classes I need to get done so I can continue on.
