It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn…it’s 2010!

In the past, the prospect of a new year has brought hope, goals, resolutions, and clean slates. The beginning of this decade was inauspicious at best as I was laid up with a nasty case of strep throat. In fact, I was so under the weather that I actually forgot to bask in the novelty and freshness of not only a new year, but a new and promising decade. In order to regain that feeling, I’ve started a new project. I’m going to document what will surely prove to be a magical and glorious year by keeping a photo journal. Last year was full of changes, blessings, transitions, and missteps; however many of the details are muddy or forgotten. This year I will take a photograph every day and post it here with a brief description. Sometimes I feel like my life is a monotonous string of mornings and midnights, the hours in between being largely mundane and fleeting. But I know this isn’t true! I will seek out the blessings, the lessons, and the epiphanies and I will be grateful for them all. I once read that how you spend your time is how you spend your life. I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely and I want to remember, if not each and every moment, at least the notable ones. Dear friends, I invite you in for a peak into my world. It may not always be pretty or universally significant, but it’s mine…and that makes it worthwhile.

Happy New Year all!

*Note – I am not a photographer or the owner of a high-end camera.
The photo quality may be inferior, but the days these pictures represent are most certainly not.

April 2010 - California knows how to party (Day 1)

One of the highlights of this past spring was my visit to California. I ventured out to the desert to visit my dear, dear friends Robert and Deana.


This is the note I left on my office door as I was leaving.


This is the Smoking Lounge in the Denver Airport. I thought this was where Deana and Robert first met but apparently there is another Smoking Lounge in a different area of the airport so I think I was mistaken. I suspect they both look the same so I'm going to pretend that this was the right one.


This was taken on the drive from the airport (Ontario, CA) to Joshua Tree. Yup. It's the desert alright. On the way we saw a guy with a donkey in his jeep.
