rejoice, rejoice

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

This year my immune system was a big bully and gave me an awful cold for Christmas. I am feeling in much better health now and it was a most wonderful holiday nonetheless! 

I received the microphone of my dreams (I chipped in to get everything I need for a recording setup), and it has been a blast recording with it. I may just have to share a music video in the future...

This season I have been seeing Christmas through new eyes. The story of Jesus' birth has never felt so real to me. Although it is a season of giving, I find it profitable to set aside a moment to truly receive the most wonderful gift. I can't get these words out of my mind: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel. It has a deep and true meaning - Rejoice, God is with us.

    Merry Christmas!
    I'm glad you're feeling better now. I've had a really bad cold too! It was so bad I couldn't even make it to Mass on Christmas. Which was really disappointing, but I'm starting to feel better now and I still enjoyed Christmas.
    Nice photos.

    How do you get your iPhone photos so crisp and clear? Mine always turn out terrible -- any tips?

      I use an iPhone 6 and I think the main thing is lighting. If you have too little lighting, then your photos will turn out grainy. I almost always try to photograph in daylight.
