I'm catching up on blogging. it's been a while since I added some personal work in my little humble part of the Internet. I've been enjoying my Summer [...]
Holy wow! I did it, I finished. Nothing feels like how doing what you'll say you'll do feels. It has been so hard to stick with something that requires me to remember to carry a tripod. I hit a huge wave of indecision on day 3. After I overcame that hump I stopped over thinking [...]

OH HALLELUJAH !! Summer is here! and of course we'll soon be complaining of the high temperatures, mosquitos and the traffic. But for now we bask in the lovely honeymoon phase of when summer returns. Those few days when it is warm enough to get wet and be ok with it and not freeze outside. [...]
Every Year I look forward to winter. I guess every year I forget how inspiration + winter just do not go together. It can be hard to find a spark of creativity among the same four walls you see daily. I've struggled just like everyone else. I am also currently doing a 366 , and [...]
