A.J. the Puppy

You know, this is not the best picture ever but I think it's a perfect representative of my brother's dog, AJ. Adam and I almost killed him. We took him for a walk at like, 2AM (to see shooting stars!) and AJ decided to lick a poisonous frog. He foamed at the mouth for about an hour then we got it all under control and he's ok!

So, AJ is a little bit crazy and I think this is a funny picture. Below, you are able to see his face. And SWEET beard.

Beach Umbrella

It's supposed to protect you from the sun, but if you happen to fall asleep underneath its shade with no sun block on, you WILL get burned. I would know.

Sunset Profile

Driving on a bridge, at sunset.

Lamp Post on 522 North

In Virgina... near a Cracker Barrel

Chair

I liked this chair. It was in a hotel.

Vatican Lady

There is a ridiculous amount of art in the Vatican. I like this statue, especially the lighting.

La Tour Eiffel

I love this picture! I like how the sky is a dark blue... the Eiffel Tower looks pretty nice as well. Almost looks like a postcard picture, doesn't it?
When I went, we were able to walk up the stairs to the first and second levels for free. According to the official Eiffel Tower website, it now costs 4 euros to walk up!

Video Series - Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

This is the song "Lucky" sung by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat and the video is performed in American Sign Language by YouTubers Ally and Aaron!!



At the beginning Ally signs the title of the song, who it's by and also that Aaron is her signing partner. I'm glad I found this particular video since I really like the song, especially since the video version by the singers is a little bit boring (plus I can't put it up on my blog anyway!!)

Florida Blues and Greens

Gulf of Mexico, FL. It's always nice to be able to go to the beach and actually swim in warm water. The beach around where I live is usually gray, full of seaweed and 64* is about as warmed up as the water gets. In case you have never gone swimming off the coast of New England 64 degrees is COLD.

Light Write

Ahh, light writing! I finally decided to try this trick with my camera and I am so happy that it worked! My camera has a long time exposure maximum of 4 seconds ("long," sure) but that was still enough time to make some fun squiggles and shapes like the star you see above!

If you have long time exposure, you can make some pretty amazing pictures. You need a flashlight or other light source and then just set your camera up in the dark. I saw this project called energie-in-motion a long time ago but didn't think my camera was up to the task. Google "light writing" to see some more coolness.
