Day 117: Moving Light

Moving Light

One of the last night shots at my grandparents house. This is another long exposure where I am flipping and tilting the camera around while it captures street lamps as if the light is moving. I like the green in this image.

Day 116: Random Rake

Random Rake

1/16
Sometimes I find random things in the world to be interesting. I saw this rake in the middle of the street and found the randomness of it to be today's inspiration. I am guessing it fell out of someones truck or something like that while driving down the street.  If I remember correctly I noticed it on my way to working in the morning. And yes, I actually took this picture while I was in the car driving...not the best idea. For one it makes the picture blurry and two, you can kill someone. But anyway, I took a picture of a random rake today.

Day 115: Black Line

Black Line

1/15
Though I can count this image as another day of "missing the point" (read my previous post) it was some what saved by the way I edited it. It is again my favorite lamp shade (please note my sarcastic tone) with a twist. No color this time and I would like to argue a much better metaphor for my life at the moment. I like to think of that black line being the division between two points of my life. The chapter before graduation and then the one after, where I was forced to grow up. The black line then represents all the challenges that were thrown at me at year 24.

Day 114: Missing the Point

Missing the Point

1/13
I wish I could remember my reasoning behind this picture. I don't know whether it was because I was busy, lazy, or uninspired, but some of the images coming up (like this one) are not the best. I can honestly say taking a picture everyday was really hard. And being inspired by something everyday was even harder. I intended to create this blog to document my life and create really beautiful images, but some days I know I didn't follow through with that intent. The world is full of incredible people and incredible things, and I think it is really important to be inspired by something everyday hence wanting to take pictures of all those things for a year. Somedays I was able to do that, and some days I feel like I missed the point of doing this completely. This image of my lamp shade!? is an perfect example of missing the point.

Day 113: Lots of Pieces

Lots of Pieces

1/12
I was just about to move out of my grandparents house and again enter a new phase in my life, so I was trying to enjoy the last few days of living with them. Most of our time together was spent watching shows like The Bachelorette and Dancing with the Stars or building puzzles. (I have posted several puzzle pictures previously). As usual, a piece of the puzzle is missing...well in this case, lots of pieces, but it is completed. Looking back at my time with them I really enjoyed having them to myself. There wasn't drama (well wasn't much drama) and it was nice to be with them. In a year full of heart breaking changes having the comfort of my grandparents was a really good thing. I can look back at that time (now five years ago) and be completely thankful that time I spend with them. At a time where I was  alone (single and separated from my best friend) the helped with that loneliness and definitely was a huge part in my healing process.

Day 112: Lazy

Lazy

Here is another "lazy" take at a picture of the day. I was so lazy in finding something interesting to take a picture of, that I took a picture of the lazy dog. I love the dog anyway so what's one more picture of Charlie?
