I find it hard to believe that I've never been to the Eno River State Park in Durham County. I've lived here all of my functional life, and in all twenty of those, have never checked it out. It was very reminiscent of this time my parents took me to a river out in California. Lots of shallow pools and miniature falls, and lots of places to go out and play in. Snakes play in the water, too. A family of kids started freaking out as a tiny, adorable thing went past them, desparately holding its head over the waters. The father caught it in a butterfly net and moved it a few ponds over so that it could safely escape into the woods.
I went to Washington, D.C. with my school's eigth grade back in March. While there, I took a roll of my favorite 35mm film, the sadly discontinued Kodak BW400CN. I think its the first time I've ever shot an entire roll in one day. At any rate, I captured this in the third room of the FDR memorial, representing the breadlines of the Great Depression. The sculpture and its facial expressions perfectly capture that. The angle was perfect so that when I turned the right way, you almost couldn't tell that the brick wall wasn't a building. I do so adore my 50mm f/1.8 lens, as it worked perfectly on the old Canon EOS 650 and gets excellent bokeh.
I'd never seen nor heard of Americasmart before this month. I had the chance to visit Atlanta, Georgia, for the first time ever, and the sides of one of the buildings caught my eye as we passed by. I really liked the stair cases going up each corner, but the real interesting sight was what they looked like from below. To me, it looked like a path to a particularly strange path to a unique structure. I really liked the way the stair path took on the look of shadows instead of gaps.
