a day late, but...

merry christmas


i hope you had (and continue to have) a beautiful holiday season.

new york (and i imagine much of the northeast) looks like the innards of a snow globe right now. 
and a white christmas (or boxing day, really) is a lovely thing!

happy december 22.

my hair is pinned up in a faux bob this morning--an attempt to do something with last night's leftover curls. it's surely messy.

i'm off to do some christmas shopping. yup, i'm that girl. i'm so that girl. that girl. (in fact, i'm that girl who's now afraid she's just not gonna get it all done).

i have to work this christmas season so i'm stuck in new york. and i've been stuck in a bit of a funk as of late, but yesterday i had this sudden thought (i'll tell you about that later) and the funk has lifted and i'm left remembering that often the unconventional holidays are the most meaningful.

even if i'm not home, i'm with family. and holidays are about attitude, if nothing else.

so this morning i leave you with another head and the heart clip. i've been listening to them non-stop. i love this video because it just seem so darn joyous. imperfect and a little rough around the edges: human. pure light.


wherever i go...my camera will follow...

one of a few new year's resolutions that i'm trying to get a jump start on.

i'm saving my money to buy a heavy duty camera with the hope of then taking one of nicole's classes (or at least getting the textbook). but i figure before i spend the big bucks on a nice camera i have to make a habit of taking photos wherever and whenever.

(did i ever tell you that it was a b in photography my junior year of high school that nocked me off the honor roll for the first time in my life?)

never too late to improve one's self, i say!
