the cozy winter nights

by

i have to start considering my holiday baking soon. i think it’s the dark, foggy mornings we’ve been having this week, but i’m in a total nesting frame of mind. i want to make big pots of thick, barley soups and bake mince tarts and make chocolates. i want to curl up with lots of blankets and watch movies. it’s almost time to stock up on the hot chocolate for the winter. mm, i love fall.
so, i got prints of ten of my favourite photographs from the last year made at london drugs. i’ve been showing them to some people here at work and their responses have been very interesting. i find it really enlightening to see how different people react to different photos. all but one person showed some serious dismay at this photo’s lack of heads. these photos actually made some people jump back from them. this, this, and this one seem to be the reigning favourites, though.
it’s nice and validating to know that quote-unquote normal people think i make good pictures. it’s also nice to see that they look just as good (sometimes better) when i can hold them in my little hands.

    It’s already turning winter here in the Windy City. Well, kind of. I’m cold. Everyone else thinks it’s “chilly”. Heh. I’m a west coaster, dammit! =P

    foolish people! “*gasp*” is clearly the best.

    thanks, mel. i have a fuji finepix 2800 zoom. it’s not really cutting edge anymore, but it’s got a 6x zoom which makes up for a lot.

    Those are wonderful pictures, hessie. I, too, envy your picture making abilities. If mine are good, it’s usually accidental.
