Life Quest (and other stuff)

I have been having a rather quiet existence lately. Not in the “I am able to keep my mouth shut” sense (like that will ever happen), but rather in the, “our iTunes home share has been acting up and I’m too lazy to go fetch and insert the CD into computer” kinda way.

So you get a IR remote shutter for your birthday. You are super excited, because you don't have to start the timer and run anymore. You place your camera. You pose.

(With some imagination you can see my arm, dress and hair...) What is the 52 week project about? Comment using Facebook Or use Blogger comment area below
