Continuous Photo: New Year's Eve Edition

It is possible that in three months I will be embarrassed by this post and it will be deleted, but today it needs to be shared. I am currently looking through my archives for some photos to be added to a presentation I am giving and realized that my pictures from my road trip to Roanoke for New Years have been neglected.

In college we did this thing called continuous photo. One person was in-charge of the camera and called out commands, such as 'your long lost dog named Fido just returned from being missing for months.' You then made your pose and emotion match the command. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, and it is absolutely ridiculous. Most times I am missing after six or so frames. I usually lost interest and went to find some other trouble to get into. Well, tonight I laughed at these two sets of continuous photos from New Years. The people I spent New Year's Eve with are good people. They are the people that have taught me what embrace is. And they are the people who continue to push me to figure out what that means outside of the place that proudly bore us. Today I find myself extremely grateful for the laughter, conversation and ridiculousness that occurs when you are a part of community.
