“There is nothing like a dream to create the future.” – Victor Hugo
This time, two months ago, we had snow on the brain. It was cold outside, and we had just experienced the most snow in over a decade. Today, we are getting a different type of snowstorm. Instead of the white stuff, we’re getting the yellow stuff. Every car we own is covered in a sheet of yellow. Another sign that this pollen storm we are experiencing is different is the sound of everyone sneezing. No one is immune to it. It’s crazy how life will have you dealing with different things from time to time. Every part of life has a different challenge. Each part has an easier part than the other. We have to be willing to adapt.
Today I thought I’d post some photos from back when Charlotte had its last crazy weather event. When we woke up the morning of January 31, it had already started to snow. Most of the ground was already covered at that point. After lunch, we headed out as a family to enjoy the snow. We had had a sled in our shed for 10 years, waiting for the moment. We took a few rides on the sled down the hill, and I walked around and took a few photos. The next day, I walked through our neighborhood. I checked how it appeared with snow covering the ground during the daylight. I brought my camera with me again, but this time I used my lens from Retropia. I love this lens because it is lightweight. This makes it perfect to bring with me while on a walk. I also love that it is made from recycled disposable camera lenses. When I capture photos with it, it looks like the shot was captured with a film camera. It has various imperfections in the shot that give it a retro look. I also like how the lens doesn’t need to be focused. Just like an old-school disposable camera, all you have to do is point and shoot.
