Calm

It always seems at some point in the summer I get so frazzled with a mix of work, trying to see my friends, and getting prepared to head back to school that when I pick up a camera I'm desperate for some calm and order. I guess it's finally here.

IKEA

My mom and I drove to Pittsburgh to go to IKEA last week.

Visit to Athens

I went to Athens this weekend to visit some friends and check in on my house. I took a lens I don't really use anymore, and it's funny how things change. I used to be afraid of getting close and I was grateful for the zoom, but this trip I found myself missing the wide angle and annoyed with having to run away from my subject to get the whole frame.

Block Party and Zoo

Here's some from our neighborhood's block party (I made the pinata) and my visit to the zoo and some vintage stores with my roomates.

4th of July

Here are some from yesterday's cookout and impromptu street fireworks.

Lomo Supersamplers

Recently got some more film developed from my supersampler. I love my silly looking pink camera.

Boy Scout Camp

My little brother's a boy scout and goes to camp for a week every summer. Wednesday is family night, but this year he had to go through the "ordeal" after dinner was over - a secretive test involving sleeping outside and community service. I think my mom was more worried than he was.
