Study break!

|
Ah people, I am sorry. I know it has been boring on here lately as I have been in the middle of my Howard Zinn reading project that is currently dragging me down as it's hit a slow, boring point. I promise I will write about a book that does not involve American history this week—Rose Macauley's The Towers of Trebizond, my November pick for Turkey in the World Reading Challenge. And I'm currently in the middle of Pinnochio, Idlewild's December book club pick, and it's a bit different than the Disney movie...

So for now, I know this is a bit late, but how was everyone's Thanksgiving? My parents visited me and we hit up the Macy's parade...good times! I've been primarily using my old 35mm camera for a few months now, and it's so fun to retrain myself to use film. I feel the style of taking pictures is so different; you have to be a little more selective with your shots, because they're limited! Photography has turned so instant with digital—and I've gotten so used to that—that the anticipation of developing your film and reliving moments you'd forgotten about is so satisfying!




It's Christmas tree season!

love the photos--and FILM! love it. i was just chatting with my uncle on christmas eve--he was showing me his vintage konica 35mm with film and it made me a bit wistful for my own 35mm film camera, currently tucked away on a shelf in the hall closet. not sure if i could possibly retrain myself to be so selective with my shots.
as for the parade--love it and can't wait until my nephew is just a tad bit older so i can take him to the inflation night, my favorite part of the parade. :)

You should grab that camera, Nat! You'll pick it up pretty quickly.

How crazy is the inflation night?? I keep hearing rumors that it's become almost as crowded as the actual parade!
