April 9th

I have decided to change this project a little bit. I have really enjoyed taking photographs everyday, it forces me to have to carry my camera everywhere I go. when I have my camera with me I take pictures. and when I take pictures I grow as a photographer.

the change comes in when I have been taking the pictures. I have noticed that I am not always in the most interesting places at noon, and what I am doing at noon does not always tell anything about my day (like when I dont get up till 2pm). So I have decided to make my daily picture about whatever makes my day interesting.

what made april 9th interesting? we poured bronze. it was a really cool process. watching pounds of liquid bronze pour into a fragile ceramic mold is pretty strange. watching the pour team work was like watching a choreographed dance. and in the end my bronze came out pretty great. Ill post photos later

apr08NOON

today was NOT a very good day!

it was one of those days that you feel like everything comes crashing down at once and the weight might just take you with it. I felt very locked in place with no place to go.

for all of both of our flaws (ALL of them) I am relieved that I have someone that I know I can rely on what shit goes down. I know I am not perfect in any sense and I am glad that you can understand and love me anyway

noon: apr07

didnt get out of bed until like 11:30... shower by like 12. not much else happened today. it is strange not having to be anywhere till like 2pm. it has been nice. but next semester I am going to have a MUCH more full schedule. On top of a 21 credit semester I am going to have one of those classes as an independent study. so that means I am going to have to be REALLY on task like 100% of the time.

It HAS been nice to have so much free time this term (12 credits). but I work a LOT better when I dont have free time to lay around and be lazy. so lets hope that I can deal with it all

noon: apr06

more sushi! but I am just about out of money so I am not going to be able to buy any for awhile. so I am going to have to make this one last... I dont ever really want a lot of money, but I would really like to be at the point where I have to worry about buying a $4 thing of sushi.

I feel like it might just people the people that I surround myself with, but is it possible that we are a generation that does not want to huge house with a large SUV and everything handed to us? I want to work for my money and enjoy my life for that reason.....

does anyone else feel this way?

noon: apr05

drove home this weekend. we tried to get out early but we didnt really get going until like noon...

I have an inability to leave on time. no matter what time i plan on leaving, i always like about an hour late. is this some sort of compulsion? or do i have have no drive to leave what i am doing when i am comfortable....

noon: apr04

we had breakfast this morning at a local diner. after a night of drinking and way too much sugar (we made smores and fire pies in my fireplace) it was nice to relax with friends and have a cheap meal with crappy diner coffee.

i forget how much i like diner food. scrambled eggs, toast potatoes and some watered down coffee... YUM. the only better thing is when its at like 4am and you still have not gotten any sleep. thats the main thing that i miss in traverse, all night diners. clay and i spent some time at little chef here in mount pleasant a few days ago at like 6am and it was pretty nice. i have not done that in too long....

bonus photo

the night before we were cruzing our local meijer as a gang of crazy punks looking for hell and marshmallows. we found it, but we were held up by clay's injury. he was our motorized friend for the night

noon: apr03

spent the weekend at home hanging out with friends. we were at bubba's for veggi burgers. they make their own with avocado and other veggies. i started taking photos of random things including this one.

for a long time i have had a problem understanding what to do with these random photos that i like. this blog has been a great release for these photographs, but it is still a strange problem. this photograph is of no conceptual value, that is, i have no intent in showing it to the public in any form.

i still enjoy taking photos throughout the day. even if i do not know what to do with them...
