Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find? - Ridley Scott
This blog will act as an attempt to chronicle what is sure to be one of the most ridiculously confusing, interesting and wild years I've ever experienced.

By compiling a series of 365 black and white photos and accompanied text you're invited to follow along the ride of an undergraduate student with severe biophilia. This year will mark a year that I leave the continent, graduate from my Bachelors degree, start graduate studies, try to make heads and tails of life and and search for an elusive tiger beetle.

Feel free to post feedback, ask questions, and give suggestions. Hope that your 2013 is looking to be a wonderful, wonderful year.

04. A close-up of my roommates nose


Some things probably just aren't the most popular things to photograph. One of those things would be noses. If a stranger walked up to you on the street and asked if they could photograph your nose, you would likely so no.  I expect this would be especially unappealing for many if the photographer was using a macro lens. 

I've stumbled into a very affordable range of macrophotography through the use of a Raynox macro lens M-250. I purchased it for 30 dollars online, and it clips right on the end of my camera with some very pleasing results. You don't need to spend $1000 to take some particularly interesting photos. 

Luckily Katima (kitten pictured above) was willing to stay still long enough to let me get a shot of her very pink and heart-like nose. Me-ow. A little cross-eyed, tremendously irritating but very affectionate this little cat is a welcome addition to our flat.

Happy Friday Everyone!
