Here we are on the cusp of leaving the country and I’m not even close to ready. I have to pack up my room (… still haven’t started), go to the consulate, finish everything I need to do at VZW, finish planning the roadtrip, book hotels, bring the cats in to the vet, clean out my car, ship things to canada, get my finances in order, and a myriad of other things… so many in fact that I can’t even remember the rest.

Instead of doing all this through the weekend however I:

• Friday : Slept on Friday… Self explanatory.
• Saturday : Went to the city with Kat, random guy, and Ang… Good times. Went to have Dim Sum at The Golden Unicorn, then went to The Guggenheim, visited Top of the Rock, ate again at Gray’s Papaya, then had Rice to Riches, and finished off with a failed attempt to have Sour Cream donuts at Dunkin Donuts… Overall great trip… but really tiring…
• Sunday : Falafalalalalals and barbeque – went to Ibby’s Falafals and barbecue’d at Eddie’s house. Good times were had by all. I’m really going to miss crazy VZ employees… it’s what made working there worth it.

Anyway… off to start boxing… enjoy…

Awesome view from the Top of the Rock. A bit pricey. Not much to do. But definitely an awe inspiring view. I want to go back at nighttime… Not the greatest of shots… but potential for future photos…

Yeeeeeeeesh. I have to say that no single thing is really extremely terribly too tough about leaving. I mean there’s packing, hanging out/bon voyage hang outs, organizing a road trip, finding things to see, getting visas… you get the picture. What is hard is doing all of this simultaneously. I have to say I feel overwhelmed by all the things that need to be done. Granted… I’m a huge (and I don’t mean fat… clowns…) procrastinator… and that doesn’t really help… but still… I’m pretty decent at multi-tasking… and very bad at getting started…

I guess the key will be just to get everything going. I think once I start it’ll take me a little while and then before you know it voila! I am now accepting applications for people who want to help me move out and pack… or do laundry… I can only pay you with time on the Wii (Super Paper Mario RULES!)… or maybe even lunch!

Anyway… Just wanted to start this up and start the sharing again.

I used this as a portfolio piece to get into VanArts. Of my current picture selection, it’s my favorite. I like the sharp focus on the broken glass and shallow depth of field. I also like the angle of lighting and general angle of the shot as well. I think certain areas (portions of the right side of the photo) can be lightened to bring a better balance to the shot but overall there is balance. I also like the color of the sky and the familiar Coca-Cola logo. Thoughts? (About the photo, site, posting, random anythingness…)
