Sadly, as you may have noticed (because I have faith in the fidelity of my audience and whatnot), ‘The World According To My Camera’ has been indulging in yet another hiatus for the past month and a half or so (dear God, has it been that long?). Fear not, I am still alive and well, I just haven’t had the time to go running around taking photos to show off around here. For a good cause, I assure you…

On the ‘what I’ve been doing lately’ front, the low-down is fairly simple, namely getting ready for a several month long change of “habitat”, so to speak… More precisely, I’ll be spending a semester in France, working on my dissertation paper. Hilarity is likely to ensue, as well as, hopefully, oodles of photos. That is, of course, assuming your dearly beloved blogger does not get lost in transit, get thrown off the plane, or starve to death because she is incapable of cooking and French cuisine does not sit well with her. Hmm… come to think of it, hilarity should ensue either way.

Still here? Wow, you people are patient. Well, fine… here’s your damn photo…

You guessed it, it’s been snowing lately…

And last, but simply not least, on the ‘what my friends have been doing lately’ front, you may have noticed something new and clickety a bit lower on the page… And if you haven’t, for the love of God, look at it! It’s shiny and colorful! In case you live in my corner of the world, a few friends of mine have this awesome new site where you can get some pretty nifty discounts on all sorts of stuff. Believe me, it’s really worth a look. And I’m not just saying that because they’re my friends, and as such, awesome individuals by default.

I’ll end this now (since I can almost sense my readers scrolling away impatiently) by saying that sadly, I still can’t promise I’ll be back on my regular weekly schedule of posting, but I will do my best of updating at least once in a blue moon or so, till I can actually get back on track.

As always, cheers!

Which is one of the things I’ve been doing lately, in between hauling it off to school (it being that time of the year again) and declaring dietary war on it. That being said, I figured I’d take a small break from the idyllic photos of summer, and join the oh-joy-winter’s-here parade. Hopefully, not for long. However much I miss ice skating, I’m still hoping for a bit more autumn till then. Either way, without further ado, I give you “Frozen”…

Obviously, this is an older photo, since it’s not quite *that* cold yet, and hopefully by next week I’ll feel like picking up where I left off with the Balkantrip photos. In the meantime, hot cocoa all around. Cheers!

And black and white, because I’m sick of it. Honestly, I’m beginning to think my hands are never going to be warm again, and never have I been this jaded at the mere thought of literally swimming through heaps of the damn thing.

In unrelated news, I have a new vintage camera for my collection. Yay! I might take some beauty shots of it sometime.

In the meantime, enjoy the abstract look of fractured ice on a frozen lake…

The track itself was a tad too tricky to stop for photos, not to mention the fact that I obviously didn’t have my tripod with me for those long exposure night shots. Oops… I didn’t mention we left Busteni at 10 p.m. and got there at 5:30 a.m., did I? Good thing my parents don’t read this…

However, once we got there, I was fortunate enough to get this glorious picture perfect weather that morning (after a couple of hours of sleep, that is), so I figured I’d share what I have to show for it.
