Our landlords have neglected our pleas to clean up a mold problem in the kitchen since March of 2007 due to a leaky and broken dishwasher. We finally took the matter into our own hands replacing the damaged floor and broken appliance on our own. Our discovery revealed a problem far worse than we imagined. Black, green, and white molds along with dead mushrooms were hiding behind the stove and under the dishwasher! Gross!

The 365 Day Self Portrait project is going pretty well. I’m finding it is difficult to come up with a shot every day, but I suppose that’s part of the challenge.
My copy of Lightroom showed up today. That should help me stay on top of the photos. Hopefully it’ll encourage me to catch up on a lot of the missed shots.

It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve last written. A dear friend of mine and I just got back in touch and one of the first things she noted was that my personal blog had become stagnant. Indeed it has. In fact it closely speaks how this last year and a half has been counter productive for my creativity. I haven’t even picked up my camera in that amount of time either. This is another issue that I am attempting to remedy.
I’ve met dead ends with my music, photography, writing, and traveling in 2007. It hit even harder when I went to my photo collection to try and put together a “This Year in Photos” collection for 2007. I came up with a sad group of 32 candidates of which I wasn’t all that happy with.
Just 
a couple of nights ago I reconnected with my friend Julie and had a chance to officially meet her friend Rachel. Both have wonderful energy about them and they convinced me to start shooting again by joining a flicker project called 365 Days. A project with a simple rule: One self portrait every day for 365 days. I think it’s a great excuse to bring the camera back out, and it may indirectly spur some more writing as well. As soon as I figure out all the nooks and crannies of Flickr I’ll integrate it into my blog for good measure.
Happy New Year seventeen days late! It’s never too late to make new resolutions.
