January 7

Despite the constant raining, the weather has been fairly mild, in fact I've seen quite a few trees blossoming already. They're a beautiful addition to the dreary streets. Perhaps we'll be having a long and lovely spring soon?

Rain and more rain, Portland winters make me sad, I love snow too much not to hate the constant rain. I came to realize after this day that my project is more a goal to further integrate my camera into my life again. This was also around when I spent a couple of nights up all night, helping Rett with the paper he runs at school. My camera's been a bit out of my life in the last six months or so. I don't particularly like this photo.

Everything was wet at the beginning of January, wet during the day and foggy at night (those photos to follow). I forget the ways that everyday scenes can look different when the perspective is right. The lighting on this photo is the most magical part.

I was on my way to work and took about 5 photos of this same thing, the sky was amazing, the colors rich, and my camera broken. I couldn't get it to go into manual settings and I couldn't get it to capture what I was seeing. It was a beautiful and somewhat disappointing moment.

I hope you didn't think that I had forgotten about my project. I have been diligently taking photos (nearly) every day so far. I decided quite a while ago that this was more about me not leaving my creativity on the wayside and less about me actually taking a photo everyday, because of this when I haven't managed to take a photo a couple of days, I haven't worried about it, as long as I still pick my camera back up. 


I started off the new year wonderfully. My room-mates and I decided to start cooking communal dinners, this was the first - spaghetti and salad. Simple and delicious.
