Aunt Patty was ever so gracious enough to get me the Fuji Instax 210 Instant Camera for Christmas this year! I’ve never had my own instant film camera so this was very exciting for me on many levels. She also got me 3 packs of film, which I shot all but 4 exposures of in the following two weeks. A lot of exciting things needed documenting and I was testing the waters with this film.
As I’m sure most of you do as well, I remember where I was when the storm of December 26th struck, sitting in Aunt Patty’s living room opening that camera. I took a fantastic portrait of my father which he stole, totally inappropriate. Then Alex and I set off for an adventure in Brooklyn that we were stuck inside for the most part of. And focus primarily on our cat Peanut Butter who recently moved in with me, due to a domestic dispute with a new family member, who goes by Rufio.
When we finally were able to venture out to dig my moms car out this is what we encountered.
It took us about an hour to dig a perfect path for the car. The two mountain kids digging a hatchback out of the worst snow storm most of these Brooklynites had every seen certainly brought some attention. Alex got yelled at for letting me shovel but we knew what we were doing. I drove and Alex pushed and then two large men walking by also pushed then Alex ran over and gave the shovel we had borrowed from the pet store back and we headed upstate.
Where we found the McLaughlin boys, with whom it is always an adventure.

(Rufio, the scoundrel)On the last day of 2010 I took the train back to the city and photographed the last sunset of the year. I also photographed the first sunrise of 2011 but that ones on my phone.
The night was spent with a group of people I hold near and dear to my heart and a bunch of people I met in New Orleans last spring. Small world. But I’m afraid I only documented the beginning and the end of the celebration. I think they sum up the night quite a bit though.
And now I want to leave you with this final image because just look at this majestic beast, how can he not make your day?
