Day 288/365

Happy belated New Year! I hope your year started as interestingly and entertaining as mine did.

Day 281/365

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you a safe and happy holiday, and a wonderful new year!

Day 277/365

     It finally snowed today! In both Michigan and Ohio! I love snow in general, but I especially love it around the holidays; it just doesn't feel like Christmas to me without some snow. Hopefully it sticks around until Tuesday!

Day 250/365

     After shooting Christmas tree farms yesterday, and a Christmas market this morning, I was ready to start getting into all the Christmas festivities when I got off work. I went and got an artificial tree. I hate artificial trees, but seeing as I'm switching apartments in a few weeks, I figured moving a live one would've been too much of a hassle on top of moving everything else. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun decorating it and hanging lights around one of the big windows in my apartment. 

Happy holidays!

Day 248/365

     I got to spend yesterday/day 248/Thanksgiving back in Ohio, (for the most part at least). At 22 years-old I've never missed Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt and uncle's house, and while I would've understood if I had to work yesterday, (since Black 'Friday' seems to start much earlier than Friday each year, and I am, in fact, an intern), I definitely would've been a bit disappointed. Anyways, I was able to have dinner with my family before driving back up to Michigan. My shift for Black Friday coverage was supposed to start early this morning, but I ended up getting some shots in earlier... when it was still Thanksgiving Day. I'm sure it's pointless to hope for, but I'm sincerely hoping that the shopping on Thanksgiving is just a trend that dies out. There's nothing I'd ever want to buy so badly that I'd skip out on spending the holiday with my family to do so.
