an old friend

Trying to find index cards in Jessica's desk, I came across an old friend: my very first Nikon, a Nikon Coolpix 4600. I loved this camera. It's so crazy how I used to carry this tiny thing with me all the time. I shot with it from 2005-2007, when I got my first Nikon DSLR. I sold it to Jess and have since only had DSLRs. It was fun to play around with it today. I'm so surprised it still works! I don't know why I thought it wouldn't, but it just seems insane that this camera has been in use for six years and it still works. Nikon sure makes a durable camera, too. I'd have it in a little purse, throwing that purse around and whatnot. I thought I would have a little fun and take a few photos with it today. The light was pretty with the dark clouds in the background today. Apparently, there was a waterspout off of Lake Michigan. Insane! I asked my mom why she didn't call me to turn on the news. She never gave me a real reason why. I missed the waterspout!

so this is the new year

well, the new year was interesting. actually, not really. i had to work early so i didn't stay out very late. i was in bed by one. i had to beat bar close! i have been working and i finally have the day off. i thought i would upload some photos that i took the days leading up to the new year. i don't think any of these were actually shot in the new year so i guess i'll have to wait for an opportunity to do that.

it's rather cloudy today. it was warm on new year's eve, but after midnight, it got very chilly. now it's in the twenties. it feels like it's very late, but i guess i did wake up earlier than usual today. i think i'll go make myself some coffee once i post this. i'll need to buy some more coffee tomorrow, but luckily i work so it won't be an extra trip.
