I live in Milwaukee. I take pictures. I have a blog. This is mostly the place where I post the pictures I take that weren’t quite enough to necessitate an entire blog post. Kinda like the SNL of blogging, but hopefully prettier. Most of the shots you’ll see here were taken with my cell phone camera.Tumblr (3.0; @colleenvanier)http://colleenvanier.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltdu67HnYA1qdyra7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>SO WEIRD.
