Trick or Treat, Day 177

Happy Halloween!

Shedding, 176

All the wet gear is shed after playing out in the snow.

Retracing, Day 175

Today I had an unsettling experience. I was at work in my office and I left to go do something. So I walked down to the basement of the building, but when I got there I had absolutely no recollection as to why I went down there in the first place. It took me several minutes and retracing my steps to figure out what I had initially set out to do. It's not like I haven't experienced this before, most people I assume can probably relate, but it was the not knowing for several minutes that really shook me. My mom would call this "having a senior moment."

Heart, Day 174

This heart shape in the snow was outside my house today. I was walking around taking pictures and came across it. I have no idea how it formed but I am feeling very lucky for finding it today.

My precious

My computer died over a week ago and I finally got it back yesterday. It has been difficult for me to do my posts because of my lack of access to technology. With my computer fixed I can get back into my daily routine. It was a good lesson to learn about my reliance on technology and how much time this machine that I am now typing on really takes up. I lost a lot of information (thankfully nothing from this project) but it was freeing in a way. I recently watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I can relate the experience of losing my computer to Frodo Baggins finally relinquishing the ring. It was both a gift and a curse at the same time.

Blinded, Day 173

Tonight I drove home in a snow storm. It was extremely difficult to see more than a few feet in front of my car because of the way the snow was falling. It felt like I was driving in this endless blizzard. I took comfort seeing the tail lights in front of me leading the way. Although not the safest idea, I couldn't help but try to visually capture the experience.

Night, Day 172

There are parts of me that misses shooting film, like the element of surprise when a roll has just been developed. But I have found with digital that I am much more playful when I shoot because the results are immediate. Tonight I practiced walking and shooting at the same time.
