started off the new year on the right foot
   and the left foot
       both tucked neatly underneath the warmth of two quilts and a sheet for over fifteen hours.

first day back from a week out on the west coast in california. it's a little depressing actually to have just worked a little and done nothing remarkable after spending almost everyday exploring new places and seeing new things. it was a fun little adventure, the details i'll save for when i've gone through the hundreds of photos and gathered my ( Read more... )

so i DID want a volks sd10 body for my school c. it has it's issues, mainly limited posing (that whole not being able to sit up straight on its own thing, standing is going to be a bitch) but i really like it otherwise. there's nothing i wasn't expecting since i'd done my "research" a while ago on this body. what i like most about it is its weight ( Read more... )
