It's no secret that everyone has been getting blasted with snow. I saw on the news the other day that Mobile, Alabama had its first measurable snow since 1998. Boone is no different, as we are normally calf-deep in snow 'til at least March. But this year, we have been hit with a total of 61.9" as of Feb. 14, and it's still going outside of my window right now. We were recently attacked by a blizzard that got classes here cancelled for TWO days in a row, something I have never experienced nor heard of since my move up here. What you see below is the storm door of my best friend's house. Both the inside (left side of the photo) and the outside (right) were covered in these weird puzzle piece-like blobs of snow. We waited that one out with a lot of N64 playing...

I've been going through a lot in my personal life and it's been draining me mentally, which always seems to flare my creativity. The sad thing is, I'm normally lacking in energy because of it all. Well, the other day I was looking through old photos, and I found one I'd taken at the beach in 2005 on my first point and shoot (a Cybershot, one fancier and sleeker than the model I have now), and I remembered why I believe in myself when it comes to taking photos. Other people might not understand my style or my subjects or a million other choices I make when it comes to my art, but I do, and that's all that matters. So here is the photo that brought back my confidence in myself. Hopefully many more entries to come...
