I left work a little late today. I was helping someone take some pictures for a personal project and when we finished, I realized how late it was. The sun was setting on my way home and everything it touched was bright orange. It made me feel really warm and reminded me of summer.
Eric helped me dig a hole for something that I was shooting for my doll project. The shot I was going for didn't work out..but I like this. I liked that the tag was showing from underneath his shirt. It makes me think of a jean ad campaign. I like the textures in the jeans and that the background is soft.
The weekend was a little hard. Eric and I fought a lot...not really fought, but argued or weren't talking. It was a weekend of not getting along.
I got some test prints back today and am pretty happy with the printing quality. I hung them up at my desk to remind me that I've got a lot of work to do before my show.
I talked with Paula for a long time this evening. It's always so good to talk with her; I feel more like one whole cohesive something and more like myself afterwards. She reminds me that it's okay to be me, just by being her. I miss her lots.
Anniversary
Friday was Mom and Dads's Anniversary...today I realized I forgot it, even though I had been thinking about it earlier in the week. I wanted to put the dried flowers from Dad's casket in a frame with one of his poems that he wrote and give it to her with James. I didn't want her to think I completely forgot so I just threw it together and told her that I was putting it in her room and once the bathroom and bedroom is finished that she should hang it up. Maybe it was better that way without making it into a big thing.
-Dear Dad Project
Not A Bad Day At All...
I drove by and stopped in the old house today and it broke my heart a little. The leafy smell from the trees in the park, sounds of the football team practicing at the school and even the smell of wood from the floors inside the house...they all made it feel like home. I got home (to the current house) early from work...on time actually, but it seemed early. Because of the time change it felt like an entire afternoon.
To Feeling Not Heavy
Had an amazing evening, eating diner with some friends tonight...another night of feeling...not heavy. I'm more than lucky -and very grateful.
This has been sitting outside on the side of the house for a couple of weeks. I'm sort of embarassed about it every time I drive my car into the driveway. I'm sure we'll get a note from the Home Owners Association any day now. The picture got bad reviews on flickr (I know it's not pretty or even compelling in anyway), but I really like the tones and the textures...we'll that and that it's kind of trashy.
Jam Filled Saturday Morning
Went to the Winter Park Farmer's Market this morning. James wasn't feeling well but came along anyway. I took home some amazing Guava Jelly...I'm going to enjoy having toast tomorrow morning.
