This is the documentation footage of my Time Studio final project. This video was made with the context of the bus stop in mind, and projected onto the surface during the evening in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. (There is no sound.) This was recorded with my lovely new Canon Rebel T1i. Enjoy!
The first fresh blanket of winter white always manages to take my breath away. But never have I seen a first snowfall come this heavy or fast. Usually the tips of the green grass are still sticking up for a week or more before there’s enough snow to cover it and not melt in a day. But today it started snowing, and didn’t stop… and it’s sticking. After about three hours, there was four inches of snow on the ground. I ran back to my apartment, grabbed my new camera (I bought the Canon Rebel T1i over Thanksgiving break), and ran back on to campus and took photos of the freshly fallen snow.
Of course, I was not alone out there, even though it was eleven at night by then. Plenty of other people were already out making snowmen, having snowball fights, and taking their own photos of the first snow of the season. Walking around in such a beautiful snowy world put a goofy grin on my face and just made my day.
In my excitement, I’ve already uploaded a few photos on my flickr tonight. Nothing like enthusiasm of fresh snow to get my motivation going.
So my Lensbaby Muse, and macro kit came last week. And the first major things I took pictures of were some flowers my mom had. I think they look awesome with the effects the Lensbaby can create, and with how close and detailed I can still get with the macro lenses. Creates interesting areas of focus, and the lens blur around the sweet spot really forces your viewer to focus on the same thing you are. So, check out my flickr set and leave comments!
One of my very favorite hobbies is photography. It’s even my side job. Over the last few months, I’ve collected a good collection of lenses for my Canon Digital Rebel XT. I think I’m gonna stick with these for a while, so here is my what I have.

In addition to those, I have my old Canon PowerShot S80, camera bag, neck strap, extra CF cards for the Rebel, and SD cards for the PowerShot, three batteries that the cameras share, a remote for the Rebel, a light tripod for the PowerShot, and a heavy duty one for the Rebel.
So that’s going to be my collectioni for a while. It’s all I need for what I do. I think if I get another lens in a while, it’s probably going to be a macro lens. But that can wait since I don’t use macro nearly as much as would be worth it right now. But someday I will!
