When I looked out my window to investigate the source of the thunder, I saw an amazing sky (a staple of Texas, I'm finding) of several layers of clouds that had lightning bouncing around among them. I grabbed my camera and sat on the top step of my balcony for a few minutes before the storm either dissipated or ran away or hid (or a combination thereof. I'm glad I managed to get this picture (and this bolt - my first, I think) and am looking forward to shooting and blogging and enjoying my new city.Phoebe Sextonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02212156316343274987noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732116935195050381.post-47451872450782829622010-05-08T16:45:00.002-05:002010-06-17T14:49:51.725-05:00Meet B.<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg164/pasvn6/bpope.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Former roommate Brandon (who's not a stranger to this blog) is in town this weekend, so we grabbed breakfast at Café Berlin and had some laughs. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is one of my favorite people on this funny little planet.</div>Phoebe Sextonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02212156316343274987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732116935195050381.post-23896290210543569912010-03-15T11:46:00.003-05:002010-03-15T12:23:02.166-05:00#30 of 30<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg164/pasvn6/30-eye2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Self portrait. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(It's really hard to photograph your own eyeball.) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Wow, I actually did 30 posts in 30 days!

This morning, while working on their requests, I did a little side project of my own. I think this is a good first draft--hopefully over the rest of the semester, I can find a wider variety of backgrounds. This still feels a bit drab, which the Craft Studio definitely is not.Phoebe Sextonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02212156316343274987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732116935195050381.post-16567513573537559032010-03-11T10:26:00.006-06:002010-03-12T15:31:51.207-06:00#26 of 30<div style="text-align: center;">I was in a picture-taking mood yesterday, so I have two different images to share with y'all:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg164/pasvn6/s2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A storm bearing down on suburbia and its Walmart.
