4x5 holder case

My mom made holders for my film holders. I drew up a "plan" and she made these awesome things to keep the dust away! Each one holds five, the perfect amount.

mmmm, pasta

another sunrise

I don't think I'll ever get sick of the sunrise. Sorry, everyone who looks at my pictures!

I wish I'd made a video of this. I've never seen so huge and so loud a group of crows.

snow!

It started snowing Saturday night and didn't stop until Sunday afternoon. This is the scene we woke up to... It's nice to be on the inside looking out.


The inside of the front door before we even went outside. Old house, big cracks for snow to blow into.

Windy morning

The sky changed dramatically in just two minutes this morning. (I've sped it up to one minute.) The wind is still howling but it's also unseasonably warm. What a day!

Near my studio...

Mashamoquet

Jon and Scott and I went for a hike nearby the day after Early Thanksgiving. It was such a beautiful day and made me think of Wachusett Dam hikes when I was a kid.

If you were really quiet you could hear all of these wonderful sounds...

our first turkey carcass

from Early Thanksgiving!

antiques

Simcha and I saw an amazing wood inlaid bench at an antique store. We opened it up to find this note.

Open Studios

Celine and I both have open studios this week!
Celine's is in Boston at the North Bennet Street School, on Friday and Saturday.
Mine is Thursday at 7:30pm at UConn's Depot Campus (where my studio is). We'll have food, entertainment, and art!

Birthdays

This time of year is crazy in my family. Dad starts it with his birthday at the end of October. Then Celine, Vince, and Paloma all have the same birthday. Simcha is just 4 days later. Here are two of the birthday girls. Vince is in Mexico City, we missed him!

Celine

Paloma

Paloma is 6. This is her "Supergirl" cake. Celine and I had a little too much fun making it. It's actually a "Disaster Cake" in our minds.

The silly one and I.


Simcha, bored and almost 16.
