Toledo

I took this when I was 15, traveling in Spain for a couple weeks on a short exchange trip. It was very cold while we were there, and I remember it being particularly so this day. And I remember wanting to take more pictures, but my hands were so cold I didn't want to take them out of my mittens. This view was one exception I had to make, just face the cold for a moment to point and shoot. It was worth it I think. Shot in February 2004.

Kitten


I took this photo while nannying on the Cape last summer. To be quite honest, I hate cats. In particular these cats were young and annoying and scratchy. However, sometimes you can find beauty in even the young, annoying, and scratchy things in life. I even like the overblown edges. Makes him actually look sweet, innocent, angelic. That's what creating a memory through photography is about I suppose. Shot on Nantucket in August 2008.
