365 project ((day3))

 I like kitchen photos. Not so much my kitchen photos, because most of them would show an appallingly dirty kitchen a lot of the time, but here are a couple anyway.

One more day of work, then some shopping and packing and I am off to the coast. Can.Not.Wait.

365 project ((day 2))

((cucumbers sprouting))

((the produce from our faithful hens))

I think the next few days' photos are just going to consist of whatever I can take pictures of around the house after I get off work when it is dark outside. Unless I start taking my camera to work???

This weekend Levi and I are heading to the coast, so there should be a tad more variety around that time :)

365 project (day1)((babysteps))

I've been wanting to start a 365 project for awhile.

For some reason I had it in my head that you start in the beginning of the year.

I was looking at some other blogs today and was inspired. I started thinking about doing the project (again). And then I realized I just need to start. Now.

So these first pictures aren't particularly interesting, or even good. But they are a step forward. I am learning that if I want to do something, or try something, or accomplish something, I am the only person who can make that happen , and the only person I can blame for it not happening.

Tonight I went and picked up some thai food after work.

It wasn't all that great, but it did the job. I also watched some Big Love, and stared at my dog, pondering how I can make him stop having anxiety every time I start walking around. He has some serious separation issues.

It was nice to have some time alone. That doesn't happen as often for me as usual. The funny thing is that I used to hate it very much.

I'm looking forward to embarking on this little project. I don't have any illusions that I'll post every single day, but I do plan to at least be taking one photo a day.

Here's to baby steps.

Aspen grove

This little photo shoot was done a few months ago. The model is my sister, and we went out with my co-worker and fellow photographer Jolie Watts.

I have several more from this set that I will add later on. I uploaded the originals to this computer but the finished products are on the other laptop.

Lazy Sunday

Today has been a day of much needed rest and simply doing whatever we want to do.

That feels good sometimes. I realize I get into this mindset that any time I have a day off, I need to be doing things I SHOULD be doing. Which can be good. I mean, this is what keeps my house clean, the dishes done, the dogs fed, dinner on the table. But every once in awhile I need to justrelax. And that is what was accomplished today. It is also what we are trying to incorporate into our lifestyle.

Right now we are seeking our purpose and/or mission together in this life. I just don't see the point in working jobs and paying bills and never seeing each other or our family and friends. We only have one life to live and I want to live it. I feel like there are a lot of things that have been passing us by, and I wasn't able to understand why we were continuing to let them pass by unacknowledged. We finally talked about it, and what do you know? We both were feeling the same thing. I wasn't just going through something or being emotional. Neither one of us want the "American dream". So now we are trying to figure out what to do about it.
It is my goal to post regularly to this blog. If I am posting regularly that means I am taking photos, which means I am (hopefully) learning and improving as I go. I think if I obligate myself to post things here I will be more apt to improve my game. So, here we go.
