A bit of then, a bit of now

Camera: Kodak VR35 K40
Film: Kodak Ultramax 400

Here are a few of the latest photographs I had developed. Some are from this past autumn while some are from this past month. A roll of film can hold so much time (and conversely, so little).

Out of practice

Vintage cardigan: thrifted, Blouse: Jason Wu for Target
Ring: hand-me-down, Shorts: H&M, Shoes: Steve Madden

I realized today that I hadn't set up the ol' tripod for an outfit shoot since December. "Might as well document this one," I thought. I'm not sure how much I like it, though. I think it looked better in my head than in reality, or, maybe it's just that it's rather spring-y and it's not quite spring yet...

Speaking of spring, I have a feeling that this blouse will be my go-to item when the temperatures start to climb. I was pleasantly surprised to get my little mitts on it as I had waited about four days to scope out the Jason Wu for Target collection in person. I wasn't expecting much to be left by the time I got there, but I still was holding on to some hope because the Target I frequent is out of the way and in a nearly run down shopping mall. Hope prevailed.

Shorter locks and Snow

There is a rare sight outside today: snow. It won't stay for long, as has been the case this winter, but I am resolved to revel in its prettiness while it lasts. Oh, and early last week I visited my favorite salon out-Albany-way and had my tresses trimmed. After sporting a side braid for most of January it was time for something new. I'm loving the fun that comes with a fresh haircut, but I know one of these days I'll absentmindedly reach back to braid it and won't find much to work with.

What else is new? Just the usual cycle of working, reading (The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Remains of the Day), and watching TV on DVD (mostly Downton Abbey and The Vicar of Dibley). I did take the train to Boston this past weekend to visit with my dear friend Erin. We had a marvelous time adventuring along both the south and north shores, namely shopping in Braintree and wandering around Salem (on quite possibly the coldest day this winter thus far, mind you). I did not, however, capture any of these moments on camera which was rather uncharacteristic of me, I know. It is good to note, though, that photographs aren't always necessary to remind us of the fun we have.

P.S. I am aware that all of my entertainment choices of late are of the British variety. Sometimes that just happens.
