We’re supposed to get snow tomorrow. Personally, I think it’s going to be another flop like last time.

Lately it feels like my photos have been a bit all over the place as far as subject matter is concerned. I haven’t decided yet if I should be bothered by this or not.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.    –Neil Gaiman
