This is Chicago.
A bit ago, it was snowing like crazy, and I actually decided to still leave my apartment. I took these with my little Minolta friend, I developed them at Wallgreens. That building is the Chicago Tribune. Its one of my favorites in the city, especially because I love the story behind it.

Flowers // lomo camera
Earlier this year there was a big storm, and Blake went to take Annie out during it. He came back with a hand full of flowers that had been blown off a potted plant outside our building. I don't know why, but this meant more to me then new flowers from the store, or something he could have planned. This is why I married this guy- he is always thinking of others- especially me.
The camera in this photo is a lomo camera from the 50's. Blake got it for me for Christmas- the best part is that its converted to 35mm, and for me, thats perfect. I don't have anyone right around me who will develop my medium format film, so I prefer 35mm.
Oh yes, and the flowers are old, and dead, and dried out. But I still think they are beautiful. Not sure how I will ever throw them away.
Minolta SRT101
It was my moms birthday yesterday. Thank goodness she was born. Thanks Grandma for giving me my mom. I cant wait until she comes down here in a few weeks.
This my husbands pretty little Minolta SRT101. His brother brought it in town for us last weekend. Putting it to use lately and loving it.
Something I am looking forward to.
Fresh clean sheets.
Big bed.
The sound of nothing.
Time to myself.
I am driving home to Arizona this week for Christmas. I know its only a 10-12 hour drive but I am a real bad night driver, so I break it up, treat myself to a cheap hotel room and call it a vacation.
I also went to the library today and got 12 books on tape. Yeah, 12.
