2011 in Pictures—01.03.12

The new year has begun and college applications are creeping up on me, so I’ve decided to shamelessly steal someone else’s ideas. Inspired by this guy who was himself inspired by this other guy I’m going to post a picture for every month of the year.

Sort of.

I don’t have pictures going back before March of this year (I don’t even know what computer I would have been using at that point) and there was one month (August) where I had nothing that I could post on the wild wild internet without fear of it going badly. So this is really “12 pictures that are sort of vaguely grouped by month.”

Enjoy!

January

Nothing to see here…

February

Nothing to see here…

March

Some dangerous-looking props for a school project in another class. It was all styled after Angry Birds (and taught freshman kinematics, oh joy!)

This is from the FIRST Robotics Competition Regional in Los Angeles this year. The main cause for excitement here is that overly agressive Human Player throwing an inner-tube. It all looks silly but I assure you it’s very serious stuff.

April

A very nice looking piece of cake.

May

More food. (Bread!)

One of my cats, Skittles, stuck in a tree.

June

I worked at my school doing “network infrastructure upgrades” over the summer which really meant playing around with laptops on top of ladders for a couple months.

July

A scene out of the window of an airplane on the way to Kansas City, Missouri

Same as above but remarkably different in appearance.

August

I guess my enthusiasm dwindled here…

September

This big lump of fur weights 21 lbs. When he gets on my bed there’s no moving him.

October

I’m known to partake in racing from time to time, and this is the sad truth of it. Get up at 5:30 AM to throw your bike in the back of your car and drive out to some industrial park for a 45 minute race. All very unglamorous.

November

Cats will sleep however it pleases them to.

December

Same as above, only this time the cat decided to sleep on our Christmas Tree star…

This coming year.

I hadn’t expected this to be the case but I suppose one of my New Years Resolutions ought to be to keep up with my photography. I think my habit of carrying my camera with me everywhere I go will likely come back. Then instead of the current disheartening state of things where I have nearly one and half thousand pictures for a few months and only 400 are even immediately acceptable, I’ll have thousands upon thousands of them and the quality will be even lower.
