    We have had a tough couple of days around the B-holt residence. I’m sure that I’ll eventually get to that in a later post. But we have definitely been staying busy. I shot some pretty interesting stuff (to me) on Friday and Saturday. I come from a family with a strong quilting heritage. I don’t…

    Up for grabs this round, is a pair of Skullcandy “Smokin’ Buds.” Although I think the name of this model is a bit kitschy, I think that Skullcandy makes some quality products. Whether audiophile or not, I feel like everyone can appreciate a quality sounding headphone. Although, I could be wrong. Speaking of audiophiles– This…

    This video has been going around since the beginning of the week. I think it is freaking amazing. I have talked about it with a few people, and apparently a lot of people still haven’t seen it. So, I’m re-posting. It was shot with a 5D MkII in 1080. So, feel free to check it…

    Last night we ended up at a party at the top of the Standard. I went there once during a Fashion Week event, but never at night. The view was great. I was glad that I had a camera with me. Reagan was running around with her friends goofing off the entire time. I was…

    Yet Another Awesome Longboarding Video. This film is called Lundberg Loses it. It is a short documentary about Erik Lundburg. It was shot by Kenny Luby. Aside from some helmet cam footage of a very high speed topple, the good stuff starts around the 6 minute mark.

    “Reloaded” because this is the second time that The Pixies are gracing the pages of LMC. The previous occurrence can be seen here. For some reason, I have had the “Surfer Rosa” album on heavy rotation for about the past month. There are a couple of tracks on there that I will mostly likely never…

    Trying this out for the first time. I had the idea when we were out with my friend the other night and they had one of those touch screen photo hunt games. I thought it would be a lot more fun to post a photohunt, than a sliding puzzle this time around. I didn’t get…

    Last night was the super moon. To be perfectly honest, it didn’t appear any larger to me than it has on previous occasions. But, it was very very bright. We were on the roof when it rose, and it was a very dark shade of yellow from all of the pollution. It was kind of…

    Two posts in a row bearing titles that begin with the word “happy.” I couldn’t help but post photos of the shoes that I wore out last night. Yes, two photos of my shoes. “What is happening to this blog?”, a reader might be asking themselves as they scroll down from one photo of green…
