Rhett's sister, Alexis Hardy, took these photos this past thanksgiving and had them printed for us as a Christmas gift. She's super talented, and is a professional child photographer. Her work is simply amazing.
You can check out her website here.

2010
2010 had its ups and downs, but spending the whole year with Rhett was definitely an up. We moved in together this October into a fabulous little apartment in Greenpoint, and I've never been happier. I'm so looking forward to what 2011 brings.

Crystal Geode Bookends
I've had a deepening obsession with crystals lately. I came across these lovely crystal geode bookends at a street vendor on Myrtle, a half of block off of the Knickerbocker M train station:
When I originally saw them I hesitated and didn't buy them because of my budget...but I kept thinking about them and ran after work the next day to pick them up! I snagged the pair for just $30. The table I bought it was run by this couple, who were so sweet and eager to tell me the history behind each and every thing on the table for sale. These geodes were mined in Brazil. They also had African soapstone sculptures of elephants and people, jewelry, and even rabbits' foot key chains.
You can snag a pair online at Crystal River Gems, but if you're in the neighborhood, stop by and support these friendly vendors!

Google Street View
So I came across this really interesting photo-essay about Google Street view...it talks about the methodic photographing of streets by Google for the Google Maps website, and how the images unintentionally offer a look at our humanity. The article is curated with different screenshots taken from Google Street View that highlight different aspects of our daily lives, and how we function within our environments.
Here are some of the ones I liked best:

A Rebel with an X-acto
Out of a Rut
So some very very bad things (ok, maybe not so bad) happend this month, one of which being the Great Crash of my PC....the only internet I had was my BlackBerry. Everything's gone (47 Gigs of music, six years worth of photos) until I can work up enough cash for data recovery...
Lesson Learned: BACK UP YOUR FILES PEOPLE!
However, I was awarded three concellation prizes as a result of a bad month:
- I got a new PC! Yay! An HP Pavillion Slimline, purchased from Best Buy...500 Gig Hard drive, 4 Gigs of memory...Apparently, I was living in 1992 with my old tower, which only had a 60 Gig Hard drive...
- I got my digital camera returned!! Get ready for more photo blogs. I had lost it SIX months ago at a bar, and went back there to an angelic bar maid who was very excited to return it to me...Lesson Learned: TIP YOUR SERVERS!
- I got a month of free Cable TV from Time Warner as an "I'm Sorry" after they screwed something up on my account...yay pop culture!
So all the loose ends are TIED finally. I'm a VERY happy camper.
