“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” – Vince Lombardi
The day before I wrote this post, it was 90 degrees outside. Looking back at these photos almost seems surreal. I remember having to go outside back at the end of January with multiple layers on. Now, I’m trying to see how few layers I can wear and not get arrested (just kidding, I dress decently when I go outside). It’s crazy how quickly the seasons have changed in North Carolina. Looking back at these photos feels like they came from another era.
Today, I thought I’d post some photos from back when Charlotte had its last crazy weather event. When we woke up on 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.
