Now, long overdue, here are some of the shots from when my friends and I went into the city. They're all out of order, but basically we're all wearing either glasses and/or clothing of mine, being super hipsters with our Nikons.
one of my favorite photos ever: me and miranda sucking down some black coffee because it was freezing
I took this one of Miranda
Bull Moose Music — those who live in Portland will understand its allure.
miranda in my boots (Forever21)
Isn't she gorge? my sweater (Forever21), her peacoat
RECORDS RECORDS RECORDS. all my favorite music on records. BULL MOOSE FTW
I think I might want to try putting rings over those gloves... there's some interesting black diamond rings for sale here that I might want to try... black + glitter = my life.
I went outside Starbucks to get this one of Miranda and Ayanah
epic graffiti.
me taking Ayanah's portrait.
BY THE WAY
I dyed my hair black on Sunday
—mmhmm—
and will be posting photos
as soon as I take some
it looks pretty snazzy
I was psyched to try out my new camcorder. After a few technical difficulties, I now bring to you...
THE BLIZZARD.
Beware: Many Captain Obvious moments above. Such as "snow is cold." Sigh.
Also, no chickens were harmed in the making of this video. :)
I really despise iMovie '06. Really. It's a bad program. I apologize for the editing quality of this video.
Note to self: improve home video skills. Eep.
It happened last night. Howling wind, lots of snow (though not the 18" predicted... sigh). There's something very thrilling about the first big winter storm. It reminds you what it feels like to be alive. (I know, that's very trite. But it's true!)
Random Fact About Olivia #7823: She likes to earn her stuff. I love the little camcorder and it's totally awesome and useful (thanks Santa *ahem*mom&dad*ahem*), but it feels more special to use my camera that I saved for and bought with my own hard cash. My parents always taught me that if I wanted something I had to save for it and earn it. I used to resent that they didn't fork over the big bucks like my friends' parents, but now I'm starting to see their point. It's much more satisfying to earn it yourself. Weird life lesson realized in the middle of a blizzard.
Today I made my mom suit up in her boots and coat and frog-marched her outside for a photoshoot. (Okay, maybe I didn't frog-march her. But I peer-pressured her.)
Teaser: These pics represent the new look coming to HorseFeathers on January 1. *insert evil laughter here*
This is quite possibly the best photo of me ever taken. The white in my hair is SNOW, by the
way. Not that weird flakey stuff they make shampoo for... what is that called again?
Vintage camera fun
I look so serious... Hmm. But my eyes look kind of wolfish... just thought I'd post some wolfiness.
Wow, I really need some coffee. That made little to no sense. I'm sorry.
Can I justify this extreme oddness/comment on pop culture by saying it was very windy?
I've updated the About Me page, by the way. Should you care to check it out.
For some reason all the backyard birds seem to love coming to the feeder in the driving snow. Crazy birds. But I'm not complaining, it gave me a pretty backdrop and rather nice photos. I especially love the cardinal. Noticing a color scheme here? White on red on brown-black on grey. Favorite color scheme ever.
I now leave you, o readers, for I must go eat my dinner. Have a lovely night... er... evening... er... whatever it is when you read this.
this yarn is from the spinners shown in the photo 4 above this one.
I had a lovely time! My mom and I were asked to do a presentation on raising backyard chickens, and I felt very knowledgeable answering everyone's questions. :) {We do that every year. We're even on the schedule of events.}
