Although his profile picture appears somewhat creepy, I really wish I was friends with Ben.

This year my camera and I weren’t great friends. It appears I didn’t take any pictures in July, which is fitting because July 2009 was a month from hell. So in this montage, July’s picture was taken in May. Just go with it.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is take more pictures.
