2010 Snow in Mizzo
Our vacation in Colorado came to an end, as all great things do. We did make it to Breckenridge on New Years day! I took a bad tumble on my first run down so that slowed me down the rest of the day but I still enjoyed myself. I got a snowboard of my own but I did not try it out in the mountains. However, there is snow in Missouri right now!
Liquid spent the evening of the first day we got back mounding up as much snow as he could against the pump house. So, you climb the ladder, stand on the pump house to strap on the board and go down the steep bank, hopefully clearing the jump at the end and sailing slowly onto the pond.
This was highway J this morning, en route to work.
My snowboard is in the car and I’m finding some hills during my lunch break.
Haha! :: Results!
Vail For New Years Eve
We arrived around 10 and got done with our last run at 4:45. We boarded down quite a few black diamonds which I wasn’t expecting but it went well. One time I tried going through the trees, through the super thick powder (3 feet?), couldn’t make it due to slowing down and I couldn’t walk back out to a path so I had to slide down on the board on my stomach for a little ways until I could stand up and cause a mini avalanche before coasting down to a main path.
And the waxing afterwards…
Oh yeah — Happy New Year.
Dude, I Can Snowboard For Real This Time
Out in Colorado for almost 2 weeks — so far we went to Eldora Mountain Resort and the plan is to go to Vail and Breckenridge before the week is out. I snowboarded the whole time at Eldora and really look forward to more of it. I’ll save the skis for when I want to go really fast and/or through the trees. I didn’t take any photos while at Eldora. For now, check out backyard snowboarding:

Almost 5 Years With This Phone!
This is the Nokia 6800. I first bought one early 2005 and have been using it ever since. Sure, I’ve gone through 3-4 of them because I straight wore them out or dropped them in water, but I’ve not cheated on it with any other models. Why? Because no other phone on the market is so cheap (I can replace the phone on ebay for $30-$50 all day long, used) and has such an awesome QWERTY keyboard. When the keyboard isn’t flipped out it looks like a regular (’oldschool’) Nokia phone and acts just like it, but when the keyboard is flipped out, Oh boy! I can type like a mofo.
However, sometime in Jan or Feb I’m hoping to buy an iPhone. Eeep!

5 Days Until Expiration — Help!
Flickr Pro. I can’t live without it. Oh won’t somebody help me? Friends were gracious enough to help me out for the past few years. Why stop now? (;
Give the gift of Flickr! :: Virtualdistortion
I will print any photo you like and send it as a thank you.
(Hopefully that hooks you.)
A Moment In Kansas City
Liquid especially likes this one:
Finds.
This list comes to you only because my job forced me out of bed (early) this morning and nothing else besides cruising the internet is of much interest.
I forgot my camera at home today.
Waffle maker makes waffles that look like keyboards!
Panda Bread – cute. I want to make some! This idea could be morphed into so many other things. Hmm. Making bread has been high on my cooking to-do list lately, I just need to make the time.
NSFW: Visual inspiration!

Recent Photography Projects
I enjoyed some time at the park with my co-worker Brandi and her family. Her 3 boys were very interesting to work with and, of course, their energy is evident in many of the shots I got. I can’t wait for spring when I can do more outdoor family photo shoots such as this one.
I finally decided to help my friend start up her candles and incense business. Not only did I take the photos but I made the candles and a few batches of incense so far. I named this experimental line “Cira Scents”. Check them out on Etsy!
Last, but not least, my tea photography project. Hopefully one of many as I really enjoy this type of photography. I see myself getting even better when I can afford my next lens of choice. The editing I put into these makes me feel really satisfied and I can utilize my inner perfectionist.
I feel so much satisfaction from my photography, I know I’m on the right path.
