february photo leftovers

The month isn’t quite over, but I need to unload these cast-aside photos from the first few weeks.  My camera just rolled over to 40,000.  I can’t imagine how many pictures have been lost along the way. 

I get the idea that I take a lot of photographs of the pets and the snow.

linkage :: 10 february 10

Here’s a handful of delicious linkage, with the first being a lovely look back at the fashion of the oh-so talented Alexander McQueen.  I am sad to see that he has passed away. 

  • Alexander McQueen — You can view most of his brilliant collections at the style.com site.  RIP, talented man.
  • dreamandawake — Recycled, upcycled, deconstructed, and/or reconstructed clothing and a hot-damn awesome website. 
  • Curve Art — Birds playing guitar.  Just watch the video. 
  • Maria Kallin — I thought this to be a delightful photo stream with lots of dreamy colors and delightful bokeh.
  • Ask Philosophers — From their site, “What is AskPhilosophers? This site puts the talents and knowledge of philosophers at the service of the general public. Send in a question that you think might be related to philosophy and we will do our best to respond to it. To date, there have been 2785 questions posted and 3596 responses.”

north to a shanty town on the lake

Just a quick hello and happy almost-weekend before we head up north to an icefishing tournament.  While I no longer fish myself, there’s nothing like a shanty town on the ice.  And, oh-em-gee, I’ve been told that the wind has blown the snow off of the ice and I might need cleats to walk. 

I LIVE FOR THIS. 

Here are a few photos snapped with the Dreamy Diana toy lens.  (That was a well-spent sixty bucks.)  Have yourself a merry little weekend.

dreamy diana toy lens + SNOW = walkabout

It was snowing when I got up this morning, so Luna and I headed out to take toy lens photos right after breakfast.  It is nearly 12 hours later and still snowing. 

Bliss.

feeding the birds with luna

It is no secret that I love the onset of Winter, the thinning of days and the slant of light (if there is any!) and the way that we hold onto the daylight a bit and then settle in for the long, dark evening. 

I don’t like, though, how a month off of solstice, I can already only find enough light to take a photo when Luna and I go outside to feed the birds.  (We also grow lots of bird-food plants, like sunflowers and hollyhocks, which we leave out for them to strip clean.)  Actually, I really don’t mind so much at all.  Darkened photos and grasping the daylight work for me.
