external monologue

snowy reflections

for some reason i'm really drawn to reflections in car windows and, i think, for greater reasons than pure vanity. something about the way images are reflected in car windows always looks very cinematic to me, somehow weightier, almost epic. i guess its some coating on the glass that gives it that silvery sheen, but it has the same flattering effect that black-and-white film does where everyone and everything looks artsy and meaningful. i saw this reflection of myself and the house in isaac's long van window on saturday morning. it snowed an inch or so over the weekend and you can see the bits of snow stuck to the glass. there's another idea for a photo series: car-window-reflection-portraits. i've got to get my darkroom set up...

saturday, by the way, was very productive. brent and i built a loft in our bedroom with a lot of help from jackson. the idea is to get an office set up in the house for brent to be able to work from home. i'm looking forward to having my own "office space" in there too so i can do all this photo work and bloggery from home.

we watched the addiction last night -- one of my favorite vampire films i think. i hadn't watched it in years, and i'd forgotten how heavy-handed the philosophical and religious themes are in it. still its very thought provoking, and always provides a good discussion afterwards.
