September 28, 2010


Oh libraries how I love thee. Now that I'm done with Les Mis (that took a solid month to read) I'm back to my regular library visits. I didn't realize just how much I missed them until I spent some time in one again today.

September 27, 2010

Rainy day. I come back from vacation and all the leaves have changed color. I almost missed it. I need to pay better attention.

September 26, 2010

Yet another test shot. It would be quite interesting to collect these all in a book, or at least I think so.

Breakfast at the farmers market. Yumm.

Colorado, I must wave good bye to you now. But, I will come back!

September 24, 2010

You can see the mountains even from downtown on the street. You turn a corner and there they are! I don't think I'd ever get over how great that is, even if I lived there for years.

Lunch in Boulder, check out this ceiling!



On the road between Denver and Boulder.

Red Rocks Amphitheater.

I think I ate my way through Colorado. But that's what you do on vacation, right?

Such great colors everywhere! And with all their sunny days (one of the sunniest cities in the US) they really stand out.

Botanical Gardens. Calming.

Some more nice colors.

September 22, 2010

We arrive in Denver! Renting a car is surprisingly easy. Once we get into the city we park the car for the night and go off exploring downtown on foot.

They know how to do ambiance.

Good night moon, good night mountains!

September 21, 2010

Being on vacation is nice. Technically getting paid to read in the park is even better.

I leave for Denver tomorrow morning. My thank you gift if wrapped and my bag is packed. Have a good week everyone. I'll have a challenge trying to edit all the photos I take down to a couple posts when I get back.

September 20, 2010

The light itself was really nice this evening.

September 19, 2010



So these pieces are really hard to photograph, and to be honest, I need to try harder to get a better documentation of them.

As I've mentioned, I leave for Colorado on Wednesday. This is my thank you gift for out hosts. A little plane traveling from NY to CO. It was fun to alter a pre-made frame to fit this project. (I miss working in custom framing...using my hands everyday...having to problem solve to create each individual project).

September 18, 2010

Yet another morning where I want to just stay in the peaceful light and not have to rush off to other responsibilities. I guess I can always relive it in photographs.

September 17, 2010

I ran my errands (saved 50% on car insurance!!!) came back home, lit a candle and read. It's my goal to finish Les Mis by the time I go on vacation. I leave for Colorado (!!!) on Wednesday. I'm so excited!

September 16, 2010

6:35am. Yes!

September 15, 2010

A couple of the many moments that made up today. I'm still sadly thinking about all the images I missed the opportunity to photograph.

September 14, 2010

An outtake from one of the many times I tried to take today's self portrait. I wound up chosing something quite different.

September 13, 2010

I have no idea how it's fall already. I'm still waiting to do all the summer things I was too busy for. I've made a point to quickly embrace this new season and not let it pass by too; scarfs, crisp air, cider donuts, pumpkins, butternut squash, mums...

September 12, 2010

It's dark when I wake up now and quickly approaching sunset when I get home. I'm not ready for this!!! I have to learn to quickly embrace fall or it's going to only feel dreary.

Nice sunset and delicious oreo cupcakes. (Anyone want one? We made way more than we could ever eat.)

September 9, 2010

Morning: My oatmeal tried to escape being eating by throwing itself to the ground, breaking my bowl.

Night: Tried to play around with light at night, relatively unsuccessfully.

September 8, 2010

Self Portrait 228/365.

September 7, 2010

I didn't get a good picture of this project,but don't worry I'll be making plenty more and I'll get better pictures. It's art made from lot's of tiny pin holes. And it's addicting.

September 6, 2010

I woke up early and went for a morning walk on labor day. The light was so warm looking. The sun felt like a good old friend reassuring me it'll still be there through winter (which is approaching too fast).

September 5, 2010

With September I can feel summer light dieing off and don't feel ready to lose it. Summer just started...what happened? I guess I have to give it up and instead look forward to the crispness of fall.

September 4, 2010

test. I could put a whole book together of test shots of my hands. In fact, I'd like to.

This was technically taken last night (after I had already posted for the day) but I keep coming back to it and I wanted to share. Much different then early spring or winter. It feels so out of my normal world...

September 3, 2010

For this pretty one, I made some new toys to play with...

three (blind) mice.

September 2, 2010

Can you tell how hot it looks? In the distance everything is hazy. A canopy of tree leafs barely brings relief.

September already?! ...so let's start the month exploring.

Shapes!
