Barely awake at 6:30am, I waited for my boys to return home from their dads.
I love their smiles, hugs and kisses. They warm my heart and make me feel like all is good in the world. The boys tried to convince me they needed to stay home from school. They did put a solid effort in but I think after 2 weeks of christmas holidays, it’s time to get back to what they consider to be a boring day at school.
Did I mention the sun is shinning this morning. It’s perfect for a brisk walk to the bus stop.
I’m back at home, drinking coffee, listening to music, burning a candle and some incense. Happiness, inspiration, and creativity is calling to me today. Why not document it with a new self portrait. My hair is messy, I have no makeup on and I am wearing my favorite ‘Detroit is for Lover’s t-shirt it is the perfect Monday morning look.
Now to get busy editing photos, album designing and doing my laundry until my boys get home from school.
~It’s a new year and I plan to smile and enjoy my life and everything wonderful around me.~

Someone told me there’s a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

My sweet boy wrote me a little message on the mirror tonight after his shower! He melts my heart!!!
I just don’t have the words to explain today.
There’s a very good chance that I may submit this photo into the Bowen’s lighting contest at work.

What I say, what I think
What I put down in ink
I’m only tryin’ to find a way to understand
And I mean no harm
I’m just searching for calm
In the storm of mankind

Sometimes I wish for falling
Wish for the release
“Wish for falling through the air
To give me some relief
Because falling’s not the problem
When I’m falling I’m in peace
It’s only when I hit the ground
It causes all the grief”

Abandoned,
This is the first photo in hopefully what will turn out to be a wonderful series of abandoned buildings this year. I’m still in the editing process of my Schoolhouse shoot from yesterday but I wanted to post of few to share.
My first post 365 post.
This photo doesn’t belong to any specific day or belong to any big project… It’s just a photo that I took. Old crumbling things and places appeal to me a lot. I always wonder about the stories behind them. I wonder how long it’s been since this gas pump’s actually been used, years I’m sure. I’m not denying my history with this pump. It’s probably the first pump I ever filled my gas tank with when I was a teenager. This tank is at the former gas station across the street from my parents house. Up until the other day, I couldn’t have told you if the pumps still existed or not. It’s funny how there are things in our life we just don’t see.
Day 365!!!!
I can’t believe this is my last photo!!! I’m so happy it is done and sad all at the same time. Thank you for all the wonderful comments and support that everyone has given me. Now to slow the pace down and move forward with my new project ideas in 2011.
Day 364!!!!!!
Dambo, is looking so sad at the ketchup! LOL This is Nick’s little guy. I can think of a ton of photo shoots Dambo could be featured it! Thanks for sharing Dambo with me Nick :)
Day 363
Alex is building a pop can robot today. He puts a lot of effort it building things. I love the look on his face in this photo but I also thought it was awesome watching him use a screwdriver. The simple little things are wonderful.
