Some Reflection

I haven't really been shooting much lately. I had goals of taking tons of photos during winter break, but such is, I suppose. In a few days, when I get back to school, I'll be shooting more than I can handle.

I went to see a good friend over the New Year holiday. We drove about in these random neighborhoods. It was raining and water got all over the lens, so everything turned out a bit hazy. This particular photo is tack sharp at the center. I was worried that my lens was damaged, there was condensation inside a couple of days afterwords. I pulled it off the camera and let it sit for some time: now its fine.

I've been meaning to buy some old crappy 35mm. It rains all the time during the Winter here. I'm always afraid to take the digital camera out for fear it will be ruined, but an old beater Nikon would be just fine. I especially enjoy the film aesthetic, as well.

I intend to shoot a series this term. I'm thinking of something weird like: the Unicyclist Club, Oregon State's Agriculture Program, or these crazy kids that gather under a clock tower and read Bibles. I'm enrolled in my very first photography class. My car brakes are nearly out. I'm considering training for 10k track races. It should be an interesting Winter.
