Sunny Day, Day 353

Well documented moment, Day 343

Roddy, Day 276

I had coffee with my wonderful friend Roddy this morning. He arrived at the coffee shop ahead of me and scoped out a table with the best natural light. I first sat where he is sitting and he took my picture and then we switched so that I could take his. To all the patrons in the coffee shop I am sure we looked a bit strange playing musical chairs, but to us it was just part of the ritual we perform while hanging out together.

Day 275

Camera wars, Day 266

Nicolai with his truly crappy camera Gerald and I bought him last Christmas. I think he has taken all of five photos up until yesterday where we played a game of photographing each other. He doesn't know it, but I won.

Dreamer (Diana), Day 239

A new year. I didn't dream about what I would be doing in this new year, but some how we made it happen. I have been putting it out to the universe for a long time that I need a change in my life. I just didn't know what it was going to be. A tenure track job? Unemployment? Making books for people? But a few weeks ago an opportunity presented itself and Gerald and I decided to run with it. In a few days we will be the new owners of a small local business called Two Hands Paperie. I worked there for a few years apprenticing with the owner, Diana Phillips, as a bookbinder. It's been amazing how all the pieces are so easily falling into place and the synchronicity of it all. The image of the camera above is just another piece in the puzzle. It's called a Diana camera and it seemed very fitting for today's image given that it is one of my favorite toy cameras (this one is around a woman's neck that I met today), it is named Diana, and it says "dreamer" on the lens. Even though I didn't dream the specifics of this coming year I do believe that everything begins with my mind (conscious and unconscious) to set the wheels in motion.

Point and shoot, Day 222

This is the one and only image I shot today.

The future, Day 212

My friend Roddy is doing a series of images of people's hands with his iPhone. He photographed my hand for his project and I photographed his hand photographing my hand for mine.
