The storyteller, Day 286

I had dinner with an amazing artist tonight and quite the character- Joel Peter Witkin. What I found most interesting about him is just how hard he works to create his imagery and his absolute dedication to his craft. Of course the imagery itself is both beautiful and grotesque (another reason why I am a fan), but his life stories also drew me in. He is a a storyteller, how could he not be? He told one after the next after the next...I was mesmerized and a little star struck.

Warming up, Day 128

Today was the first day where it felt like fall. It was cold and rainy and I didn't go out much. I did the dishes just to warm up a bit. I am not looking forward to the cold weather.

Losing, Day 36

I couldn't breathe all day. I mean I was breathing, but but not a relaxed breath. I felt like I just couldn't keep myself together. I am over worked and over stressed. I know this well. So I decided to photograph beautiful things around my house. This calmed my mind. I just needed an outlet to help release a little anxiety. I can breathe now.
