Steam Tunnels

I'm consistently surprised every year at the pattern of snow melting to show off the steam tunnels connecting Taylor and Thomas halls

Snowiest Winter Ever!

I remember the blizzard of 96(ish?) and how I almost got lost in a snow drift and lost a boot permanently (I was also less than 4' tall.) So now I'm in the Philadelphia area...on Friday early evening-Saturday afternoon we got a blizzard that dumped over 2 feet of snow on us. That was exciting. Less than a week later, Tuesday night-ALL Wednesday, we got more snow. Enough snow to break the record! According to the news, 70.3 inches have fallen upon us with like 3.5' still on the ground. This is all fun except for the horizontal wind and the annoying East Coast habit of melting a little and then freezing into an ultra-slippery ground. No scaled photos this time, I don't have a ruler long enough.

Happy Lantern Night

photographing lantern night is basically impossible without a tripod so I present some light painting with minute long exposures

the lanterns being run out


it was pitch dark, the blue sky is purely long exposure time but check out those freshwomen in line.

Congrats Class 2013!

best friend: "don't the school computers have built in card readers?"
t: oh hai!
