i have a sweet tooth. it probably gets me into more trouble than not, but there’s just something about the sweets that i cannot resist. i try to take it all in moderation, but it’s hard sometimes because dessert is so good!

as much as i love the sweets, i probably don’t have cake as much as i would like. it’s a pity because, well…cake is good!

before the new year’s party kicked off, john suggested that we try and set up a shot with the bottle of hpnotiq. this drink is wickedly blue and we both thought it would be cool to backlight it and have the blue really come out. we weren’t able to get the shot that we really wanted, but i didn’t want to spend too much time trying to get the effect we wanted, but this is the best shot of the bunch.

it definitely renewed my interest in studio photography. i don’t think that this is something that i would pursue because part of the problem is that i just don’t have the patience to set up the shot and figure out how to make it work. trying to overly control the environment is so hard and so much work! i prefer to work with what i’ve got and make the best of it…but still, it was fun to do.

west wing

i finally caught up with all of the episodes of the west wing that i’ve missed this season. man, i really like the show. i’m sort of sad that i only just started to watch this show and i’m curious about the previous seasons. it looks very good. sort of draws me in.

i think one of the reasons why i like the show so much is because it really puts some personalities behind the face of a government and it shows some of the struggles that people go through to make the government run the way that it may run.

just a nice human perspective on an otherwise unknown process.
