do you write in all caps?

THESE LAST FEW DAYS HAVEN'T BEEN MY FAVORITE IDEAS, SO I'M NOT HAPPY WITH MY PHOTOS. I TRIED THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, WHICH IS WHY I LIKE THIS PROJECT.... AND I THINK, LOOKING BACK ON IT, I HAVE EVEN BETTER IDEAS FOR SOME OF THESE. MAYBE I'LL TRY THOSE OUT. THANKS FOR THE NEW IDEA!


handwriting: lately i've noticed some really nice chalkboard handwriting/art. i need to document that better.

maybe i'm just really into typography these days.



Things i hate to do: Saying goodbye to my dear friend. i had a difficult time walking out the door.



Drink: this is one i wasn't excited about and would like a chance to do over. i waited for ages to be seated at this arabic restaurant in Dearborn. Much worth it, but i spent lot of time looking at these drinks, or moreso, I watched the people in the reflection of the drinks.



Time: I like this time of day. i wonder how this building stays up, but maybe seeing the american flag through the doorway is like a sign or something. ha

I haven't been taking photos with my phone for the photo project. I take them with my DSLR and I don't have time to download the cards everyday and upload them, etc etc. So my "photo-of-the-day" is not daily. that's cool though, right? I still execute shots daily and that's what matters. I guess the instagram part of the project is mostly what I'm referring to. o well, anyway..

this first one is "something new" i just bought from wanderlust. The cutest, camera stamp that kind of matched the camera I used on my website. I have another camera stamp on it's way that resembles the leica more accurately.



Phone. I got these lil' phones at a flea market. The story is, I wanted them and didn't get them so my mom who knew this, came home with them for me later. what a sweet mom i have. There were four different vintage phones, a poodle and a hotdog-dog; a dachshund.




heart. It was valentines day but I wear this heart everyday so it was what i thought of first. drawn by my dear friend, fred many yrs ago. Tattooed on the same day i went to see bonnie prince billy play in ohio. may have been in 2000.



Here's something else new that I found today:

something blue

especially if the sun is out

yesterday's photo of the day was what makes me happy (below). today's, not as exciting, which you see above.. is my closet. fancy, huh? If I had one of those "dream" closets, I could probably get a more interesting and wider perspective but mine is the size of a shoebox.



yesterday's music was grizzly bear, white antelope, wu-tang (which doesn't make me happy, actually kinda annoys me) and this amazing blues singer who sounded amazing. i'll have to find out who that was again.



best kitties, best friends ever. <3
