Alison -- day 27 -- toes.

Oz: The Return to the Land of Oz

Day 21 – Take my picture day – While at an after party at sundance this women drunkenly approaches me to take photos of her. I tell her I am a famous photographer from New York. She demands that I give her instructions on how to pose like a famous model. I am drunk too, and fumble with the controls and the framing. I tell her she is naturally beautiful, I believe this to be true. She is dissatisfied, with my photos of her, she is ugly she states. I have failed again…

Day 22 – Summer in winter day – The warehouse lets out early, so I skip across the street and photograph the windmills made of tin. They look so cool against the stark blue sky.

Day 23 – Close to the end day – Things at the fest are winding down and I am tired. I am waiting to go home to my Vermont home. Posters are everywhere screaming about the last showings before it all ends

Day 24 – The last day – The Egyptian looks so cool at night. I trip and fall on my face after meeting a film maker. They can’t all be gems. It starts to snow around 12am. I get drunk and make out with a boy who cannot dance. Mistakes are around every corner. I choose the less complicated of two evils and am subsequently disappointed.

Day 25 – Lucky Travel day – I used to love to fly, now I hate it. It seems like every trip I take lasts an eternity. Due to sleep deprivation and possibly a hangover I leave my camera at the gate in Utah, and don’t even realize until a flight attendant makes an announcement. The camera is returned to me, and out of sheer panic I photograph the gate to prove to myself how fucking lucky I am that my device didn’t get stolen.

Day 26 – Welcome home day – If feels good to be home, and we have a potluck for Jenna’s birthday with delicious cake. Joey looks like a goof, and makes a big mess, but I love him anyway.

Day 27 – fortune day – The irony of finding this fortune upon my arrival from a 6 week expedition of self discovery is not lost on me. Perhaps I am destined to be a wandering soul…

Day 28 – thermometer day – Everything is frozen and looks like jewelry.

Day 29 – snow day – The snow keeps coming. It looks beautiful. It looks like it will never stop. I secretly hope it dosent…

Alison: Day 27. My boys.

These are my boys. Jon-Michael (the human, haha) is my boyfriend. We had just gone out to dinner for my birthday. And returned to my future home to pick up Olive (the cat).

Olive and Jon-Michael have had quite a relationship. At first, they conflicted. Olive didn't like there being a human man in my life. HAHA. He'd attack J.M.'s feet and just all around irritate the shit out of him.

But before long, Jon-Michael had won Olive's heart (much like he did mine). Now I think Olive might like him better than me!

This shot was taking on my future love seat after arriving at the house after dinner. Olive was there because he'd been at the vet all day having a wound tended to. When I do move, Olive's becoming an inside cat so that his momma (yours truly) doesn't have to worry about him wrangling up cat fights in the neighborhood.

So yeah, my boys.

Lily Rose Day 26: The Colors of Fall & Day 27: The Skateboarder

Day 27: The Skateboarder

I was watching the skateboarders and the guy doing bicycle tricks at the park for awhile, but could not get any decent shots of any of them until this one! I was so pleased with this shot that I had to post it here. I know it's a little bit dark because of the shadows, but you can still see that he is off his board and in the air. Very cool!

Day 26: Colors of Fall

I found this leaf on the ground and kept it because of it is made up of all the key colors of Fall. I set it on the sidewalk so that there was a contrast and you could see all the vivid colors and then snapped this photo.

Along the tracks..

Yesterday I had to go to Vienna by train and that´s the scenery I saw when I waited for the train to arrive. Looks nice, if you ask me! =)
