It's very gloomy in my hometown. The kind of gloomy that makes you want to take eerie photos and eat soup. I feel like a little sunshine could turn everything around.
Have my fellow hobby photographers out there played around with fisheye lenses? Not always flattering for people, but it can make for some really unique landscapes...or super creepy stairwells.
There is something about the combination of the fisheye and black and white that I really, really love. Shooting these made me really miss shooting with black and white film, and hanging out in dark rooms.
I have been sick lately, so my time has been filled with becoming overly emotionally invested in mediocre independent movies on Netflix, tawdry television, and taking an egregious amount of naps. Therefore, I have nothing interesting to say. I am hoping that the pictures themselves will pass for interesting.
This is my go to song, whenever the weather takes a turn for the worst and I start to feel restless. I hope things turn around post-haste.
I have a weird affinity for animal sweaters, but living in Wisconsin, it is difficult to wear anything with a badger on it without everyone thinking I'm making a statement about my sports preferences. And then commenting on it. Truth is, I just like the badger. It's weird and awesome. I don't, however, like being mistaken for some sort of super-fan. When I saw these sweaters with collars, I had an idea that would transform the sweater I have had for some time.
Adding a collar to it makes it far to cutesy to be associated with any sports team. Precisely my goal. I love when layering two things that you already own creates something with a completely different feel. By the way, that gal up there is my new dress form. (Name TBA)
I had a surprise morning off, so Alex and I went on a little Sun-date. Coffee and Crepes. Or creepies, as I like to call them.
It was my goal to take some pictures of recent projects today, but again, this is Wisconsin. The windchill is something like -10. I was born in this weather, I can endure, but I think I'll wait a couple days when it feels more like 3 degrees.
Song I cannot stop listening to today: Home is Not Places//The Apache Relay
Stay warm, Wisconsin brethren! If you live somewhere warm, shhh.
