Next, remember this post I did about "The Soundtrack of Your Life"? Well I decided on an answer to number six, "What is a song that makes you you?" The winner is "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall and Oates. It's a tongue in cheek choice (because of course they're singing about me), it's a little cheesy, and it's a little awesome, and all these descriptors describe me. Plus I went through a significant revisiting of music of the 80s in my late teens and early 20s that has shaped much of my current music tastes. Enough of that.
Lastly, yesterday on Tumblr I found some fantastic photos from a Canadian novice photographer named David Johnson, aka DaveyJ. A lot of his stuff is pedestrian, but he fully admits that photography is a passionate hobby that he is still learning about. However, he has these fantastic long-exposure shots of fireworks. I've never seen this done before, so I was highly pleased at their loveliness. Extra bonus for me, some of them look like weird glass Christmas ornaments or lights, and since Christmas and the 4th of July are my favorite holidays, it's like he took these photos just for me! Take a gander as some of the photos below and see the rest here. He also sells some prints here.
