Yeah, i had another one of those lulls. Always happens. NYE and the surrounding weeks found me unable to drink without getting massive hangovers and as usual, some depression, which wasn’t helped by my inability to shoot photos, so the whole thing kind of spiraled downwards so much so that I don’t want to be the man with the camera anymore. This is what I feared the most when I took the programming job; by filling my head with something else, there isn’t room for the photography. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Look at this hipster.</span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/back_in_blog/1038/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />Of course, we all know that’s bullshit. I’m as much a photographer as I was then, and this is just a temporary setback. I’m gonna get my chops back, by hook or by crook, and all will be well with the world. And for the record, I have taken a few good photos, just not as many as I’d like. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Before the freakin’ blizzard, or maybe after.

This is the second half, and because it happened later, was more drunken. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0031.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0032.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0033.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0034.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0035.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0036.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/office_christmas_party,_pt_2/1041/0037.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

yeah, I’m not one for news pictures so much… the news is all fake anyway, or at least 90% bullshit to 10% truth… but I do like the snow. So, for once, a topical post. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/fucking_snow…/1045/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/fucking_snow…/1045/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/fucking_snow…/1045/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/fucking_snow…/1045/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

Mike J’s. At the Sipango. And you might think, from these pictures, that it’s not a bad place to hang out. You’d be wrong. I wouldn’t go there again unless it’s someone’s birthday, and they won’t see reason and come to a bar with less dudebros. The things we do for our friends. Actually, I only stayed for half an hour, everybody was already pretty well wasted by the time I got there. Although I did have dinner and some beers earlier at Mcnellies that night, I wasn’t <span >drinking</span>, if you know what I mean. Tuesday, you know? <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/the_last_december_birthday/1040/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/the_last_december_birthday/1040/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/the_last_december_birthday/1040/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

I took all these photos. Ok, in that last post, where I said I hadn’t taken any good ones of Ali when we were celebrating her bday? I lied. There’s one here that I really like and another that’s all right, but it’s not her face. What else? That was a dfry night, which is becoming more and more common now that blue note has changed the jukebox. My favorite bar is changing owners very soon… this has happened once before, and that change brought us ladies night and free pool afternoons, but we lost good show coming out of there, so maybe this time we’ll keep the free beer and get back some awesome shows. <br /><br />Then there are the two pictures in here that aren’t portraits. I’m becoming more impulsive with my photography, and that off ramp was an extreme example. I glanced out of the bar door, saw something, and had a compulsion to go out and shoot it. That’s all I came up with; although there are several frames, I only like that one. What else? Holly, you’d better be treating my hat well. Regular walks, exercise, hand wash only. Now I have to get photos off the camera. <br /> <br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0043.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0044.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0045.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0046.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0047.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0048.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0049.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0050.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0051.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_seven_days_since…/1043/0052.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />
