winters never get old

Every year when November comes rolling in, I start cursing life and my complaining increases 110%. It seems I never remember how much I despise the cold until my social life has come to a complete halt.. all voluntarily.

Okay, I admit this may be a sad and sorry excuse for my lack of posts, but it is true. It's also the reason the past posts have all been pictures of family. I haven't been seeing as much of my friends wince we're all in hibernation shaking our fists at every gust of wind that burns the skin and warmth off our faces every time we have to go outside.

I have been planning away though for shoots and personal projects that I want to get done as soon as the weather warms up again and it's a bit more reasonable to make my friends stand outside for a few hours without feeling too guilty. I've got a few things brewing up that I'm super excited about and once these sketches are done I'll be posting them. Here's a little hint: do you remember loving Dr. Seuss? Corduroy the bear? the Velveteen Rabbit?

so excited. I'm also excited for returning to the intern life in NYC once I return from my trip. Even if it means I won't afford to go out as much, I'm ready to be back on track again.

I'm also looking forward to saying goodbye to the 5 pounds that have been creeping up on me since the temperatures have dropped (and since my school photography season has ended).

AND you bet I'll have a whole new wardrobe once I make use of my American dollars in the Philippines. Hopefully it will still go a long enough way. This is going to be the best Christmas present ever.. No I don't mean just the clothes. I'm ready for a real eye-opening, humbling, and inspiring experience. Okay enough talk.
