 We are having snow again and I have to admit that most Minnesotians are "having the gun to their heads" literally. Can we take much more snow? I keep asking myself this question. THe weather in the God's Frozen Tundra takes it's toll on a person, even the heartest of souls. It does look like we are going to get some relief from the cold and dark skies this weekend with the temps going back into the mid 30F range.
 In other news, we are shopping for another real estate agent after getting the blow off from one lady. I guess she wants only high rollers and not normal people like myself from working class people. Nothing like the blow off!
 This is another picture form the roll that I took with my Holga at the St. Paul Ice Castle. I like the like leaks that are being shown here, do you? THis camera is pretty hit or miss when it comes to focusing and I am surprised that only 3 shots were fuzzy this time. I guess I am getting better at using it.

It seems to be a Monday for me, eventhough it is Tuesday. We are busy getting ready to go house shopping.

 It has been a busy weekend for me. When will it ever stop? I guess when I am dead or at least old and retired if I get the chance. Well anyways, here is a photo that I took when we were in Des Moines to spend some time with my parents over the long Thanksgiving weekend. I took it with my new toy, a Holga plastic camera. I am starting back to classes tomorrow. I am kind of excited to tell you the truth, even though I know it is going to be a lot of hard work, not to mention a lot of late nights and little sleep. My goal is to get finished by next winter if at all possible. I have 4 more classes to go if all goes well this go around.

This is on of my first pictures with the Holga. Actually, this is a picture from the contact sheet that I made. When I get around to printing the pictures, I can control the contrast a bit more.

I took this picture as Yuko and I were on the way to the vet to have Ivy checked out for her chewing hair problem.
