(Un)Expected Things
Well, hello again. #1 One Direction (It’s a new day when the first on my list is a British pop boy band.) I was helpless to resist.

Photography: Arch
Our Visual Arts Elective has officially ended. While I don’t think I became a brilliant, or even remotely good, photographer, at the very least I can now hold and use a DSLR without killing it by pushing or turning a button. Yeah.
