french researcher, gerard liger-belair
has spent more than 15 years studying the drink

in support of his very thorough study,
I may be conducting my own research this evening.

frozen.
what an incredible way to say goodbye to a year
walking across a frozen lake with special friends
while wrapped up for sub-zero temps
with twinkling snowflakes swirling down in silence
under the watchful eye of a beautiful moon
and waking up to see it all in a new light in the morning
as we welcome in the new year
“i always loved the idea that a photograph was a memory frozen in time.”
