Glass.

I had to get glasses this week. I made the mistake of not getting anti-glare or scratch resistant so it feels like I've always got glare from 50 different places on the glasses. It's going to take so, so much getting used to.

Speaking of glass. I'm trying to get a new set of glass for my camera. I don't have any other lenses than my original kit lens, and there are a few in particular that I've been wanting to get, specifically for portraiture. Here's to hoping that I can get some soon.

Cope.

 A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine died. She's the closest person to me to have ever passed, and to be honest, I haven't been able to cope with it well.

I hadn't seen her in a couple years; her family moved from Utah, so she no longer came here to visit, and I was never able to find a good time to make my way up to Oregon to visit her. But we still talked often on facebook and texting. And she still meant so very much to me.

I have so many pieces of art from her. She was always someone that made a point of brightening others' day. I honestly can't explain how much this has affected me, but it's far more than I ever would have anticipated. And I don't know how to keep myself together. I really don't know how to keep myself together. I miss you Kori, more than words can describe.
