One more post. No photos in on this.

I've posted a donation kettle for the Salvation Army. Feel free to donate to it, as it's for a good cause, if you are able to do so.

Thank you! :)

Let me try to make up for all of this...

This has been one amazing (and by 'amazing,' I mean not) couple of weeks. My sleep schedule has been thrown off because I was sick with pneumonia for well over a week. Probably closer to two weeks. When it began to really hit, I started finding myself unable to even hold the camera up for an extended period of time... but that's okay. Because eventually photography was the last thing on my mind.

I didn't touch my camera once, save for a few things around the house, which I will spare you, until I was fully recovered. But one day, on my way home from work, I had to take one of my members of a carpool to have a drug test. So I did a little bit of experimentation, which only yielded a few results.

I've been promising myself to go to downtown to capture some of the lights there so that I can make my own Christmas cards this year. So a bunch of us went down there to do exactly that. I hung around the Neiman Marcus building (I didn't know there was a historical plaque on the building. Means I should go out there during the day and take a better photo of it. In fact, there's one about 10-15 minutes from work. I should make a lunch break excursion when I've got my strength back completely!) and took photos of the lights. However, I found myself distracted by the mannequins in the windows.

My roommate was telling me that I should get all the practice that I can. Haha. Me? The fashion photographer? I doubt I'd make it far in that field.

Nevertheless, we walked all the way from Neiman Marcus to Pegasus Plaza. And from Pegasus, we walked towards the Fountain Place- passing a number of the buildings on the way. I saw a really nifty Christmas Carol set of windows.

Anyhow, we arrived at Fountain Place, and walked around so I could get mental ideas for photography in the summer when all the fountains are actually operational. The building is awesome to see from the skyline, but the park around it is equally as gorgeous. Go by there when you get a chance. Especially during the summer. I'm sure it's breath taking with all the fountains running and not drained.

From there, we walked back to Akard Station to catch the second to last train back to Arapaho Station. My roommate and I ran into this guy (who must have been plastered, I swear) that was driving around on the train tracks. We had to yell at him to move on, as a train was entering the station, and eventually he got a clue and he drove on- almost into an oncoming train on the other side of the tracks.

I don't get people sometimes.

We intended to hit the Children's Adolphus Parade that morning. But... we uh... slept in like... three hours or so. So I decided to make up for it by doing more in downtown at night.
