snow snow snow!

A couple weeks ago my area (Northern California) was hit with a big storm! We got about a foot of snow. The power was knocked out at my house for over 24 hours (lots of other places were out for up to 5 days!) I had a snow day on that Friday and so did most of the town. I love snow! We probably get one good storm per winter and this one didn't disappoint!

Anthony and I had fun walking around town. It was the perfect way to start out the weekend. Spring can come anytime now.. I had my winter fill for the year. =)

It's really fun to explore my town and surrounding areas with my camera. It makes you look at things differently and it makes me appreciate where I'm from more.

It's going to be a photography blog based on my town, Grass Valley/Nevada City, CA.

Just playing around...

I started my photography class a few weeks ago. I'm excited to start learning how to operate my camera better and to process and develop my film in the dark room. I hope i can catch on quick and that i love it... i want to love it. I want and need to find my passions. :) Here are a few pictures from my first roll of film from my new 35 mm Nikon. I just had it developed at Longs (CVS) so I could see how the pictures would come out. Enjoy.

Snowy Days

I love when it snows!

We only get a few good snow storms a year. Last night was a good one.

It was beautiful! I took a little walk this morning around 10. Usually I would be at work but we cancelled it because trying to drive any of our cars would have been insane. Especially mine. lol

I walked down to a local coffee shop and ordered a hot chocolate and a donut. :)

Yum!

Grass Valley is pretty when it snows. My favorite part is in the early morning walking outside and hearing nothing... not the slightest noise. Just the silence of the snow falling.

Today is good.
