On Wednesday I got in my car and drove along the road that follows the Tulpehocken River, along the way I spotted a heron hanging out on the banks. I quickly turned my car around, pulled off the road, and grabbed my camera. I spent the next half hour sneaking closer and closer to the bird. By the end of it I was standing on a rock in the water with the bird across the river from me. This all lead to 139/365:

I have taken to bribing my friends to let me take their portraits using beer. The first one was a few days ago when I took my roommate’s picture. Thursday I bribed my friend Shane into letting me take his picture for my 365. I’m trying to go 20 days without taking a picture of myself, Shane was day 8.

I like this picture so much it deserves its own post. To take this I simply put a sheet up on my wall, arranged my 5 bulb lamp directly in front of me with the camera just below that. Few snaps and some photoshop work later this is what I got. 131/365

I pulled out my guitar again today only to realize that I still suck, maybe if I practiced I would get better. But who has the time? I was able to snap a picture while tuning it.

On Sunday Santa made his rounds on a fire-truck through the area neighborhoods. I ran outside to snap a picture and Daisy got herself a doggie treat. Todays picture is me all packed up and ready to go home tomorrow. Time for some relaxation before my last semester as a Penn State student.
