SNOWED IN

I woke up this morning to an email from my twin brother, saying they had about six inches of snow in Cottage Grove (Oregon), and that it was still snowing hard. I called him and asked him to turn on his video camera on his computer so I could see. He figured it was snowing where I am, since the elevation here is about 2200 feet and the elevation in Cottage Grove is about 1000 feet. But no, it was just slightly raining here at the time.

Well, that's changed, as you can see.

My cat decided to make a cameo in this short film; thank you Tabitha.

Just finished a glass of red wine that someone left here on poker night, which was accompanied with a bit of 12-month aged Spanish manchego cheese on a rice cracker. I don't normally drink in the afternoon, but it was so pretty with the snow falling and the quiet that snow brings that I just couldn't help myself.

Now it's back to working on production work for my most recent client, adidas. I've gotta cut out the background from thirty pairs of shoes, four shots for each shoe. It's a good thing my new Native sunglasses arrived the other day, as the act of staring at a screen all day is greatly improved with the addition of polarized lenses on one's eyes (no color correction at the moment, so I can get away with wearing them).
