location: neighbor's back yard
subject: hungry birds

it snowed heavily this past friday/saturday. in between my shoveling routine i had to capture the anarchy that was ensuing next door with the bird feeder.
i live next door to 3 gay men, one of which is martha stewart's long lost gay brother. so of course they put out bird seed in the winter and well...everyone's happy i guess...
even those damn pigeons we can't get rid of.

already a misstep in this project...
i took no photos
tack one on to the end i guess

i was told to take an extra picture on a different day, but it feels like cheating myself...
so i'll just own up to it...

location: kingsbury & eastman
subject: propaganda

worried again i wouldn't have anything to shoot today. not enough time put into thinking about it but lucky for me the industrial area near my work is a perfect place to spot some propaganda on a pretty average day.

did some color work on the editing side...not sure if i like it but it's late and i'm just messing around.

new snow on the porch...lazy picture day
these are getting harder to do since my days have been getting busier...
it will be a true testament to this whole project if i can keep up and still produce something i actually like...

i had all the intention of documenting my first day back at derby with some pictures of my team. these shirts that the r&r staff paraded around in were much more interesting than my skate breaking half way through practice. the back of his says "not really that short", if you knew him you'd understand, dude is slightly taller than my 4 yr old brother.

this is a guy i know
his name is steve but everyone calls him beardo.

this poster is on a pole outside of his old job...i imagine as some sort of joke or homage.

i didn't leave my bed until 2:30 pm today...felt pretty awful and decided the world wasn't worth the effort of leaving my warm bed. i only ventured out for about a half-hour to eat some cereal and check my e-mail, then got back in bed snapped some photos slightly distressed i'd have nothing to chronicle on day 4 of my 365 project and resumed hibernation mode until 6:30 pm or so...when because i felt like a complete degenerate i decided to shower and get in a small hang session at pmu with mickey. we played scrabble and watched old 30 rock until about 10 when i headed home. he beat me by 2 pts...fuck the word "rex" and me holding onto the shitty "q"

location: john's apartment
subject: hank

hank has the brightest blue eyes i've ever seen...which you'd never guess from this photo. he lives with my ex and as a xmas present i offered to clean the apartment i used to spend so much time in and that temporarily houses hank and my other cat dio.

clean, eat, watch a movie, snuggle with cats and pretend like it's all normal. i used to do this all the time...i don't have the obligation anymore but sometimes the allure of cat time is too much to turn down.
