February has been such a dreary month, between three snowstorms in a row (all hitting on weekends) and incessant overcast and gray skies, I think it's fair to say there are plenty of people who are getting cabin fever. As we waited for warmer spring weather to roll in, I was caught up in multiple projects. Of course none of them involved shooting and before I knew it, it had been about 2 weeks...
