Here are another two weeks of my Project 365. I am really heading down the home stretch now. I’m still behind on posting them (as usual), but this takes me up through October 3. So that means as of writing this, I am currently less than 30 days away from …

Project 365: Days 147-156

This installment of my Project 365 covers the last ten days of shooting. I’m writing it while riding the train down to Portland, though I may not post it until later. Connectivity is not the greatest on the train! But I figured there’s no better time than present to get …

Project 365: Days 76-82

Once again, life last week got in the way of posting my Project 365 on a daily basis. But I still managed to shoot everyday. And one day I even made it out of the house with my camera! I hope I can return to posting more regularly, but we’ll …

Expect the Unexpected, Then Add Fire

I went out shooting last Sunday to find one more photo for my upcoming exhibit. Unfortunately, after driving all around town, I didn’t have much luck finding it. Feeling a bit defeated, I decided to head to Golden Gardens in Ballard and just take in the beautiful sunset. It wasn’t …
