Record-breaking (snow) in Burlington!

I love records of all sorts. Breaking records is a little like making mixtapes: take previously recorded information and make a new experience! That's just what we've been up to in Burlington. Today is the second snow day in a row for the teachers and schoolkids; the snow stopped last night but the city's still scrambling to plow the sidewalks and you can't have the little guys walking to school in the road (especially after watching yahoos pull donuts all over your neighborhood at night!)

Here's what we've been up to at our snowfort:

Hope you're enjoying the great indoors as well!

That's so square.

One of my favorite things about the Diana-mini, our new family camera, is that it allows one to shoot either in the half-frame aspect ratio, or SQUARE! I think my love of square composition comes directly from my love of records (and cd's), and perhaps from a long love of simple patchwork quilts. Even in my collage work, I am devoted to the square. Here are a few recent shots from the Diana-mini and some older collage work. For the love of squares!

Diana-mini: travel snapshots

Since last post I've taken the Diana-mini (and the rest of the family, except the cat and the sourdough starter) halfway around the world and back. Here are some images from Brussels, Belgium, and Tamil Nadu, India. At present we are happily being snowed into our green house, savoring the last blowing snows of February up north. Wherever you are, I hope you're enjoying this wild world of ours. Shabbat Shalom!
