Then you wake up, all is still, and as you peek out between your blinds you see that the world outside is covered in a fresh blanket of snow. I wanted to capture this feeling through this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1443\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51795267820_1bd7e0a5bf_k.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51795267820_1bd7e0a5bf_k.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51795267820_1bd7e0a5bf_k-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51795267820_1bd7e0a5bf_k-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51795267820_1bd7e0a5bf_k-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/51795267820_1bd7e0a5bf_k-1536x1082.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/19779889@N00\/51795267820\">First Tracks<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/19779889@N00\">arbyreed<\/a> is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\">CC BY-NC-SA 2.0<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/blizzard.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">210523_1598_FR_Blizzard.wav by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/kevp888\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/kevp888\/\">kevp888<\/a> &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/573290\/\">https:\/\/freesound.org\/s\/573290\/<\/a> &#8212; License: <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\">Attribution 4.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>New Media licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/4.0\/deed.en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/4.0\/deed.en\">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t gotten the chance to read my introductory post, its good context to know that I reside in a tiny town in West Virginia.
