It's Been Awhile

It has been awhile. Okay, a really long while since the last time i posted in here. To be honest, i hadn't been terribly inspired to write. I will pause here for a moment to let those who are new to this blog know, i am not a grammar queen. I rarely capitalize my "i"s. If you notice any other errors, that's nice. I'm just forewarning you :).

As the days start to get longer, it seems that there are more things going on around me than i thought! Apparently dark, gray days puts a shroud over my eyes and all i can focus on is the ground i walk on. Probably because i'm old enough now to know that falling on the ground hurts; particularly frozen, ice covered ground. Lately i've been taking courage into hand and holding my head up. It's amazing!

The original intent of this blog was to post about things i saw while working downtown. Lately, i have realized that there is more going on elsewhere too! My morning commute consists of me leaving the house around 6:20-ish am. I travel through the small land of suburbia, hit the open country road, slide through industrial backyards, and land soundly in my urban workhome by 7:30 am.

The industrial backyards is a new thing and only occurs on Mondays and Thursdays, when Jason is at school. It's also new in the fact that there was never the option to take a train. The commuter train finally became a reality and by-george, people are taking to it like jell-o.

Riding the train has been particularly inspiring to me. It has awoken my curiosity and forced me to pull my head up out of the dark gray winter into a new world. Unfortunately it's been too dark to take pictures, until recently that is.

I have acquired an iPhone that has allowed me to carry a camera with me at all times. Something i've always wanted to have with me. I don't like bringing my "everyday" camera for fear of losing it and all the pictures of Jason and Olivia etc. It would break my heart. Even though the iPhone is strictly a point-and-shoot (i know i could buy a fancy attachment for it...but really?), i have found that it has taken me to the roots of photography. Almost to the pin-hole stage.

With that being said, see my next post to learn more about this picture:
