i turned 22 today how ridiculous is that
the winter in chicago has been as cold as most people heightened it up to be, and the just as windy...not nearly as much snow though, which is a shame.
I try to go out once every couple of weeks to get a shot of all the changes the season brings to the beach near our apartment. It is amazing what a little bit of sand, freezing temperatures and snow can do to a place you can walk up to durring the summer and fall.
Everything is somewhat treacherous, slippery, and more interesting to look at. I also tend to cause myself some sort of random injury every morning slipping on the ice, or falling between the cracks, or simply getting vertigo from my fear of heights while i climb on the large rock walls.
I'm not sure if its even legal to be out there, but its me, the sun and a few dog walkers each morning. I'm often perilously close to the edge of the water and ice, but they often chat amongst themselves about it. I think we have an unnatural relationship that i take solace in knowing they await my eventual fall so they can say they witnessed me up there as it scrolls across the news.
oh well i'm as careful as i can be, after all its not my camera to lose, and i still have to many photos to take to die just yet.
in other news I'm auctioning two polaroid photographs of the world absolutely amazing Apnea of apneatic.com. I'd rather keep them but sometimes you gotta sell a polaroid to buy a polaroid and all of that jazz. Sometimes i feel like my pictures are my offspring so i horde them and protect them. I can't help it. I like to have them all in front of me so i can see what i've done
