the pig

Tonight I don’t care. Tonight I’m just tired. Deep down in my soul tired. This blog is not what is making me tired. But this blog is going to be slowed way down until I’m not as tired.

This is Simones pig. She loves her pig, on good days. Is indifferent about it on other days. Trying to do a blog everyday when I don’t have the time to be creative gives me the same feelings about my blog as Simone has for her pig.

This is not a new image. It’s a few months old.

Paint

Nicole likes to paint. Fifteen years ago everyone would of said that is what she would be doing for a living right now. Things have a way of deviating from what is expected.

Some people think that deviation is a coffin nail. I’m not sure why. Deviation is often just like how Nicole paints. Chaotic and full of texture and colors when you are up close to it. It is only when you step back that you begin to see that deviation is just a small portion of lifes greater beauty.

A round about way of getting to where you are suppose to be.

These images are of the front door glass from a house that is 105 years old.

You can tell that a lot of work went into this door at one time.

Yet time and entropy found a way to put rocks inside it.

I’m not sure where those rocks came from, but sometimes when I’m in the right frame of mind. I find them just as beautiful as the window itself.

Scarlett is one of our cats. She is handling things a lot better than I thought she would. She spends most of her day laying on the couch, and has yet to go upstairs.

Simone loves my phone. She laughs and gets happy every time she gets her hands on it. In an attempt to capture this joy I pulled out the camera.

Yeah it is not about the phone. She enjoys everything that her father is using. I wonder if she thinks it is any more important than her stuff?

alone

I’m glad I’m without much time to sit and explain these posts. As I sat on the floor of my house taking this shot I felt more alone than I have felt in a long time. Transitions often do that to me.

Of course I hadn’t had any food for way longer than I should of gone without eating. That often makes me feel that way also.

Wire can make an very interesting photograph.

Just a quick snap shot today of my beautiful wife Nicole and our daughter, Simone.

They both have the “get the camera out of my face” look.

Snow

Today was a very hard day. We had many heavy things to carry, and that took us a few hours longer than we would of liked. Then we had to transport my pets an hour in a car, but while we were doing that we had to deal with car problems. Overall what was suppose to be an easy followup afternoon to a very long yesterday, turned out to be an extremely long today.

Why? Because of snow.

About that much snow. The image is just a standard deck table. I’m aware that once again I am breaking the creative part of my 365 ideas, but at this point I’m just lucky to be doing it at all.

tired

brandon — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 04:19:41 +0000

I’m tired. I failed to do anything creative today under the pressure of getting something very important done. I was sitting here falling asleep at the table thinking I should go to bed when I realized I had forgotten about my goal for this blog. Do something creative everyday and post about it.

There you go. It is me cheating. That’s an image of me taken with my cell phone about five minutes ago. I think how sloppy the image looks tells you more about how tired I am than me telling you I’m tired.

On a positive note, I had never really used an image from my phone for any project before. New is good right?
