My Christmas break is going to last about a week longer than everyone else's. Since I only have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays this semester, and because Monday is a holiday, I am taking Friday off so that I can stick around at home and catch a few extra basketball games. Otherwise I'd be going up to Madison for ONE day of classes all week. I emailed my professors and they both seem cool with it (first day of class is usually just "read through the syllabus" day, so I don't think I'm missing much.)

Today I prettied myself up a bit and had a little self-photoshoot. I wanted to do more, but the lack of a tripod makes things difficult. I have to pile boxes and other objects to get my camera at the right height for the photo, which gets frustrating after a bit. Also, a remote would be INCREDIBLY helpful. Someday I'll have those things and everything will be just a tad easier. I know one of the worst excuses in photography is "I don't have the right equipment"...so I tried to make it work with what I do have. Making things happen because of hard work and not because of the "right" equipment is a pretty great feeling.

Anywho, here are some photos from the past couple days:

Oh! Also take note of the little logo on my photos. I felt super inspired after seeing someone's logo, so I grabbed my pen and created my own. Took me about 5 minutes. Ha! Sometimes good things happen quickly. What do you think?!

103/365: My little photoshoot. Sunlight is such a great friend.

102/365: One of my "Too Close Tuesday" photos. Shot it yesterday. (Take a guess as to what it is in the previous post!)

101/365: WELCOME HOME! Shot this out Kim's Exploder window while she ran in to the bank after picking me up at the airport. Gotta love that SD snowfall, after being in sunny Cali for a week.

The rest of my day/night will consist of making/eating supper with my family, and working on the logo for Something Clicked Photography. Creative days are my favorite.

Also, I am super proud of my boyfriend. =) Just wanted to throw that in here.
