From point A to point B

Despite a month or more of transition, things are somewhat back to normal. For now. New desk, old utensils.

I’ve been a little remiss about posting to this here blog. It’s been over a week since my last post. I write this as an apology to myself. This blog’s only purpose is to prompt me to look for interesting things as I travel from point A to point B, pick up my camera, and shoot a picture every day. This blog gives me someone to answer to. I’ve neglected this goal recently.

My day job is divided primarily between photography, design, web site design/production, and a little video production thrown in for flavor. Normally, these 4 disciplines weigh themselves out, and I get a nice balanced mix of tasks. However, for the past few weeks the web production piece of that pie has crowded out the others. So, instead of looking through the lens of my camera, I’ve been staring at lines of code. Considering this, it came to me that the lines of code create a rhythm that is interesting. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in looking at the “facts” of web code, and forget to step back and look at it with fresh eyes. Once I realized that, I picked up my camera and shot this image on my computer monitor.

I haven’t posted anything since the weekend. I put my camera bag back in the house over the weekend, and it hasn’t found its’ way back into the car with me this week. And of course, because I haven’t had my camera with me, I’ve seen all kinds of photo opportunities!

So, here’s an interesting view of some rolls of printer paper. Normally, they are fairly mundane objects just sitting around the office.

So this blog has helped me work toward a goal of posting a photo (most) every day. Today I was at a loss for what to photograph. So, I grabbed my camera and took a walk around the yard. Considering that the grass is still pretty dead-looking, the trees are yet leafless, and it’s kind of an overcast day, I didn’t find much of interest to photograph. So, I took a look around the garage, where I found my old tool box sitting below the only window in the garage. It’s not a stellar subject, but I like the grittiness that the light spilling into the darkness creates.

The cold, icy weather seems to penetrate the building…
