2011 in pictures.

In fewer than twelve hours, 2011 will cease to exist. From long-distance travel (Los Angeles, Seattle three times and Switzerland twice) to best friends moving, death, illness, and professional growth, it's been a whirlwind of activity – both good and not so good. Time for my annual Year In Pictures...



As you can see, I ate macarons the size of my hand, traveled to faraway lands, saw (and heard) alphorns for the first time, had a proper English breakfast (...in Brooklyn), bought my first watch, and was surrounded by loved ones. Even though the second half of the year kind of unraveled a bit, so much happened to only make me excited for 2012. Bring it.

Happy New Year, everyone ^^

November in pictures.

I hate it when it gets dark so early. It has little bearing on goings on, though. (At least for now, only 2 days into it being noticeably cold.)







Let's hope hibernation doesn't happen at all this winter. Even though my body is constantly exhausted, I love seing explosions of activity any time a dark, cold door swings open in the middle of the night in this city. That second photo is an example: Walking toward calling it a night brought me to an art opening somewhere in between a comic book, a skate deck, and a Purple Mag party. I had no choice but to go in, do a few laps, and grin.

October in pictures.

Another month, another color palette, strangely enough. October was one of the busiest months ever, which was part of the reason I was so light on picture-taking for the first half of it. I have to hand it to the iPhone, though – since buying one, my Flickr stream went from having just two photos by the middle of the month, to having fourteen.

September in pictures.

As I'm deep in making-things mode and my brain is hurting a little: Sometimes it's nice to look at stuff and not be so thinky all the time.







Looks like September had a definite color palette. Bring it, Fall.
