Reconnecting with my heritage.

Uhhh wtf?

Joel was in town. Ouch.

Nicole and I drove around and shot point and shoot cameras with expired film today. I used my thrift store find from yesterday and Nicole used the bright pink camera she's had since she was five.

Also, I went to a carwash to clean up after the getting-stuck-in-mud adventure. Found this little something at junkiest bazaar ever. Then drove around until it was dark.

...wading through piles of junk looking for old cameras and glassware. There's a person in there too, can you find her?

Nicole and I spend a lot of time together in the car.

We went to Toledo for my friend Doug's gallery opening. Tony coordinates so well wherever he goes, even the room matches his outfit.

On the way we got stuck, and had to sacrifice the hoodie in my trunk to get out.

After the gallery, we went to see my friend's band play. Then we drove back home.

We went here for lunch today.

This is where old commercials and film go to die (one row of many).

Many blurry and overexposed (square) pictures are forthcoming I'm sure.

We spent today in the car, traveling across the whole world.

I discovered another Yashica (this one about fifty years old) in an antique store in the middle of nowhere yesterday. After a night of research (as not to buy another broken camera) we went back to pick it up today.

That quick errand turned into us finding and buying Nicole's early birthday presents (which would not fit in our car). This in turn became an odyssean voyage to go from the shop to borrow a car, back to the shop before it closed, drive across two entire cities to have dinner with friends, and back to the house to drop off the puchase (and me). Now, Nicole is off to exchange cars again and eventually make it back home before bed.

I don't think I've ever seen snowflakes this perfect before.

More excitingly, we've had a skunk living under our deck on and off since Christmas. Finally fed up with our whole house intermittently smelling worse than death, we set out a Havahart no-kill trap to finally get rid of the beast. We even baited the trap with bacon which is supposed to attract them (I was worried we might accidentally catch King Curtis). Tonight we came home to find this guy in the trap. Nicole gets tough guy points for orchestrating his relocation to the park down the street. I pretty much just took pictures and held a flashlight.

Snow plows and lunch.

The American Advertising Federation Addy awards show. People try to win the trophies, not the beer bottles...well...maybe the beer bottles.

A flock of crows is called a murder. There were probably about two hundred crows(not even exaggerating) across the street today. I think the majority of crows are camera shy. A lot of them are blurry too.
