Three blocks Home (an update)

Today after rehearsal a friend dropped me off 3 blocks from my house. This is what it sounded like.



So perhaps this isn't the most interesting thing you could be listening to. But perhaps you are at work walled off from the sunlight and bored of streaming options. Take a break. Pretend you are taking a walk rather than staring at your computer screen.

Well it's been quite a while since I've posted. Here's some of what i've been up to:

I have been really into documenting little funny bits of my life lately.

I've started a new simple photo series with my point & shoot called "Dailies". A photo a day commemorating some little moment. Feels very freeing to not take my imagemaking so seriously- some of the photos arent that great, sometimes the highlights are blown or are taken in barely any light, but they are still little documents that remind me of the day. (ok, so some of them are diptychs and triptychs and took a little more effort than others) Anyway I am really soaking in the summer this year, spending alot of time out in the sun with good people and this series is a kind of celebration/reflection of each day, good or bad. I plan to continue it past this summer, perhaps all my life, but at least for the next year.
A few of my favorites:



There is also a sister series which is a weekly self portrait (again shot with the p&s) titled.... you guessed it.... Weeklies! Here's my latest: (hooray summer!)


In more serious photo news I've been photographing my apartment. (i guess its only more serious because I'm using my SLR, tripod etcetc) Kind of funny that I'm starting this. I spend enough time holed up in my little sanctuary as it is, do I really need to make images of it? But I call it a sanctuary because I love it. Been thinking about how it is always in flux. So far that is what I have been finding through the camera.
These images probably wont make it up on here for a while though. Too much else to do.... such as--- getting ready for two photo shows and applying for grants. Come mid-September my work will be up on walls in Minneapolis (SpotArt) and St. Paul (Concordia University)!

And now maybe I should get back to that ToDo list.

hugs & kisses,
