Photography: adventures in the snow
















As we all know, yesterday was probably the biggest winter storm we've had this season. Even Rutgers decided to cancel class! Crazy right? (my fellow Rutgers people will know what I mean) Anyways, with plenty of hours in the day still left ahead of me I decided to use my time productively (kind of). I haven't gotten a chance to properly relax and have some me-time with the chaos of the start of the new semester, so it felt great to just breathe and do something I really enjoy, which is taking pictures. After many months without using my SLR I finally took it off of my shelf and went for a little walk with my sister, Krishna. We didn't venture too far; just a street or two away from our house. We discovered an empty road free of cars and decided to take advantage of it. That's where I got on the ground in the middle of the road ~cause yolo~ and snapped the second picture. It's my favorite! Soon after that, we came back and I took some pictures of the branches and leaves that were covered in snow in front of my house. It was quite relaxing and I'm pretty proud of some of the photos I got.

That being said, I'm SO over winter. ~let me just be a negative nancy real quick~ I really dislike winter and everything that comes along with it. Sure, you get some great pictures but to me, the cons of winter outweigh the pros. I'm so sick of feeling uncomfortably cold and layering clothes. Looking good while trying to avoid hypothermia is not an easy task. Not only that, but I'm one of those unfortunate souls who has really dry skin, making it even dryer in the winter months. I'm craving sunshine and warmth. Who's with me?! Only a few more months, right? 

I hope you're all doing well and keeping warm!
