Shooting the mundane

So, for those of you who don’t live in DC, Baltimore, or Philly,  you may not have experienced this recent “batch” of snow first-hand.  BUT, I’m sure you’ve heard about it.  Probably too much, you’re thinking.  Apparently, we’re now part of history.  Which means I guess I should revise my last post mocking (albeit in jest, I promise!) the total snow paralysis in the nation’s capital.  This winter’s snow totals are the highest they’ve ever been.  And yesterday, though it didn’t snow, oh, 32 inches, like it did over the weekend, it was blustery and windy…with another 10 inches of snow thrown in for kicks!

Anyway, like many around here, G and I seem to have caught a horrible case of cabin fever.  We’ve been eating and drinking like none other, not surprisingly.  Pacing up and down the stairs.  Watching television incessantly.  And admiring the beauty of the snow with camera in tow.  So, today, rather than whip out the Nikons and shoot the great outdoors, which would be just a tad cliche at this point, we opted for a photo shoot of everyday life in the Khanna household. Quite frankly, it’s kind of refreshing trying to find intrigue in the most boring of objects, objects that we use and look at on a daily basis.  That reminds me, if you haven’t seen the documentary, “Objectified”, we recommend it!

Because we live in northern Virginia, we also missed out on the second massive snowball fight that took place in Dupont Circle.  Would have been fun!  We love a good snowball fight and have thought about organizing a community-wide one.  But, alas, even the usually adventurous kids seem to be hunkering down in their homes.

Is it really just the beginning of February?  At least it’s a short month, right?  And the Winter Olympics are here!  Go Vonn!  Just trying to stay positive. 

Cheers.

P.S. Google Buzz?  Hmmm….
