Buttonwood Farm
Almost two years since the last post on this blog. Not too shabby, huh. Will I continue to post? I guess we shall have to wait and see. Until then, here are some pictures from Buttonwood farm last week. Just a hop, skip, and a jump over the Connecticut line.

Birthday Ventures: Mystic and Stonington Borough
On Wednesday I took a ride around, stopping in Mystic and Stonington Borough to take some pictures. Although I don't really like reflective self-photographs, I included one that I took because it looks as though I am holding the soccer ball that is in my car.

End of One, Start of Another?
Due to the fact that recently I have only been making posts on the blog run by Ben and myself, I have been pondering what to do with this one. Should I just stop posting? Should I revamp it? I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do until it hit me yesterday. I have always been interested in photography and for some time I have always wanted to get a camera. Well, why not go for it now? I have decided that this blog will become a site of the pictures that I take. What I do, where I go, and other various pictures. In other words, the blog that Ben and I run will be my words and thoughts, and this blog will be my pictures (with some words interspersed). Until I relaunch in the next month, I encourage you to follow my other blog. Thanks.

The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman
Street-style photographer Scott Schuman recently released a book of some of his photos. The book comes in a paperback version (around $17) and a bespoke version (around $110). I ordered the paperback version and received it last week. After going through all of the 512 pages in one sitting (that doesn't happen too often), I came to one conclusion: I love the book. Along with some of the photos in the book, Scott provides a little back-story about the person photographed, or the process trying to photograph the person. These stories, although small, add a great deal to the book. Seeing one of Scott's subjects, you may think, "Boy, this person is so confident in what they are wearing" or "They look so perfect." In reality, Scott may point out that the person was actually very shy or self-conscious about having their picture taken. The best part of the book, though, is Scott's view on personal style: "What constitutes great personal style? This is one of the questions I get asked the most. We tend to think that to achieve great personal style someone must have perfect clarity about who they are and what they stand for. I politely disagree. I think conflict about who you are often leads to even greater expression." I couldn't have said it better myself.
