Lots and Lots of Landscapes

Since it was gloomy and rainy earlier in the week, I took advantage of this beautiful weekend and spent my days shooting for my final project in Digital I. On Friday, my dad and I walked around Avalon Park and down Harbor Road to Harmony Vineyards. Since my dad grew up in Head of the Harbor, he knows quite a bit about the history of the area. He spent his youth wandering the parts where we were walking, so not only did I get a few shots for my final, but I also got the chance to hear a few stories from my dad's childhood and about the history of the town.
On Saturday, I went on a drive to Greenport with my mom to get some photos of the water. We also made a stop at Crazy Beans and had a Gilmore Girls inspired lunch (coffee and fries). It was very cold, but we had a great time finding locations to shoot at and places to stop to warm up. One of those warm up locations was Burton's Bookstore, a quaint little book shop that just about made me cry in happiness. You could say it was a successful outing.

On Sunday, my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, and I went to Port Jefferson for the Charles Dickenson festival. We took a horse and carriage ride around town and saw a few carolers. Of course, it was freezing, so unfortunately we had to cut the day off early to avoid hypothermia. Before going home, though, we went down to the water and I was able to get a few more landscape photos.
It was a pretty productive weekend for me in terms of my final assignment in Digital I. Now it's time to do some work for my other classes...
