This is what Scout would look like if she had a real job. And if she got caught embezzling.

Bad dog.

(2/52) Winter Has Arrived

(2/52) Winter Has Arrived, originally uploaded by RLHyde.

The first half of January here in southern Michigan has been marked primarily by low 40 degree weather and rain. This is highly abnormal. So yesterday, the temperatures finally dropped and we got a couple of inches of snow. It's not much (at least not on this side of the state), but it'll do.

So for my first week, I'm back to my old tricks from my 365 project (e.g., I'm using lots of restricted light). I'm looking forward to experimenting more in the weeks to come.

Announcement

This is more than a simple statement of mathematical certainty. This is an announcement of an impending project, one that I hope you will enjoy.

I tried my hand at a 365 day project back in 2010, and I did pretty well, but the reality of teaching in the Fall semester at my school was too much to handle, and I couldn't finish it. I think limiting myself to one photo per week next year will allow me the space and flexibility to actually finish what I started, this time.

So check back here in the first week of 2012. I'll have more to show you then.

A Wedding Day

My best friend got married on Saturday, August 20th. Kayleigh has been my longest standing, closest friend, and this was the first wedding I *very nearly* cried at. She and Greg are an amazing couple, and I love them both!

Congratulations!

These two photos were from our trip to Letchworth earlier this summer. I meant to upload them soon after the rest, but totally forgot! Enjoy :)

Kathleen and I have been engaged for about a month now, but we just got the ring today. We decided to forego diamonds in lieu of something more symbolic - our birth stones.

I think pearl and amethyst looking smashing together, don't you?

(Also, this is white gold, but the wood table makes it look more yellow)
