Christmas Time

"Christmas, Christmas time is near,
Time for toys and time for cheer.
We've been good, but we can't last,
Hurry Christmas, Hurry fast.
Want a plane that loops the loop,
(Alvin:) Me, I want a Hula-Hoop.
(Chipmunks:)
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late."
--Alvin & the Chipmunks

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Okay, so I know this doesn't have anything to do with Christmas, but this is in my uncles basement where we spent Christmas Eve. He has tooooooonnns of football and baseball helmets, bats, football jerseys all over the basement! Its like a sport museum! Its pretty neat. He has a ton of lights down there too which make it look even more awesome! He also has a pretty sweet bar set up! We all had fun over there!




My sexy "little" sister!

Boston--Tday Weekend

For Thanksgiving Break I went and visited my dad for the first time in a year and a half! Thats a long time, something I'm not used to. It was a lot of fun. He lives in Massachusetts, about 45 mins away from Boston, with his girlfriend Adele and her three boys, Willium, Arie, and Keyees (probably totally wrong on the spelling).


Something I am used to... Back when I was younger we always had piggies too. Along she is named, Ms. Piggie, she will be bacon at some point sooner or later.. Hmmmm baccccooonnn! :)


awww! Ms. Piggie liked to be scratched... looks like someone is attached... uh oh!


I liked this picture a lot because it said something when I looked at it later that day. It makes me see the relationship between a pig and humans. The pig is in a fenced in area eating the left overs from Thanksgiving and the humans are free on the outside to go and do what every they pleased.



Saturday after Thanksgiving we went to Rockport, MA. This was a old granite quary. Its pretty sweet!







Silly me I didn't bring a tripod. So I used what God gave me. I used some rocks to prop the camera on and shot with a real low iso and shutter speed. Came out pretty cool. They waves were just amazing. Easily could have died if you were swept away in that stuff.


So this is Arie on the left and Willum on the right. They were being boys playing on the cool looking rocks. Notice the sky... very dark. The wind started picking up and eventually it started hailing! It was painful, but we all eventually ran our way to the car and continued on our journey in Rockport. Notice the next picture was taken a half hour after this picture... Crazy weather! (I can't figure out how to un-underline this)...



I really like this picture, it says something about nature and people. Its pretty bad that animals know to go to the trashcans for garbage... Notice the sweet lobster boats in the background.


Lobster boats!


Boston! No idea what the building is of, but the architecture is awesome there!


back alley!






The roads used to all look like this! Crazy! But the richy rich people wanted real roads to drive their fancy cars on.... grr rich people!








There were some pretty badass graveyards here. It was established I think in the 1600s. This is Ben Franklins mothers gravestone (I think). But his parents were both burried here.

One of my good friends, Rob, made me a fixed gear bike. Its pretty badass! So we decided to take pictures of it somewhere interesting. So we went off the side of the road by an old barn, I think. Some say it might have been an old school house. We had a ton of people honking at us. lol anyway, I used the sunlight as the main source of light. I like natural light especially because its fall and it goes with the changing colors of the leaves. Enjoy! :)

Ole Greg Voris Had a Farm

Sunday afternoon Ben (my boyfriend) and I went down to his mom's house to celebrate his birthday, which is this Wednesday. So we drive an hour and half down passed Indy.

Needless to say, he is a country boy... He worked for his next door neighbor for six years who just so happened to be a farmer. So Benny decided to take me to see the farm he called home for the six years he worked there. Boy was it literally a farm! There were peacocks, horses, chickens, pigs, dogs/wolves and I'm sure many other little critters. The sun was begining to set and I went crazy. Even though I only took 140 pictures, which I think isn't very many in a two hour period, Farmer Greg thought it was a ton. I want to go back and take some more pictures especially at sunset. These horses were gorgeous. The brownish/red horses were Belgians and the darker horses were Percherons. He uses them for show and some farm work such as manure spreading. They're one of his "biggest" hobbies!








This little guy, only two months old, is named Bussi (i beleive). He looooooved attention and if he didn't get it 24/7 he would try to bite the hell outta ya.







This is one of my favorite pictures. -- bond between a horse and his caretaker.

I just got a SB600 and looooooove it! So I was just playing around with it, not really doing anything in particular. I did use it off the camera though, which is pretty sweet! I know the lighting is wacky but thats what I love. I really like overexposure, it brings out a different look than the norm. Enjoy! :)
