Eighteen months ago today I was diagnosed with cancer. Today, most of that eighteen months seems a blur or a bad dream. Thank God that time does indeed fly by.

Wishing all of you a new year filled with light. Happy 2015!
Sometimes, often times, things just don't go as you had hoped or planned. Be it in photography or life.
At least with photography, especially in this digital age, it's easy to erase your mistakes and start over. Unfortunately, this is far less true of life itself.

Well, I guess I'm going for another 365. Not sure how it will go - but, it's become a bit of a habit!
If that bottle looks a little like it's got a screw top - that's because it does! Most of my family likes sparkling grape juice! I, on the other hand, like Asti. None of us really like champagne.
Here's to a new year!

After 2 intense days of working on the latest commissioned mural with Mike Nowland for Hootsuite, we collectively decided to destroy our collaborative piece. We quickly realized that this is the true spirit of a collaborative creative process despite working with each other for years. Tonight, we will be back at Hootsuite's new office to create a new one. Picasso couldn't have said it better himself, “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.”
So many died on the filthy, fever ridden ships taking the Irish to the New World that the vessels were called “Coffin Ships”. The worst conditions were found on British owned ships. For every death on American ships, three died on British ships. Where there was one diseased person on American ships, there were five on British ships. In 1847 there were 20,365 recorded deaths out of 98,105 emigrants on British ships arriving in Canada. However, emigration for the Irish was their only chance at survival.
Erected to commemorate An Gorta Mor-
Ireland's Great Hunger of 1845 - 1850 when more than one million Irish were starved to death and another million forced to emigrate. We celebrate the indefatigable spirit of the Irish that enabled them to triumph over tragedy. With the opportunity to use their innate talents in a free country, the survivors and their decedents contributed in a great measure to the development of this nation.

Remembrance
The hunger ended
but it never went away
it was there in silent memories,
from one generation
to the next.
The time to take away
the silence has come
to commemorate,
to mourn what was lost
to celebrate what survives
without apology or fear.
We have it in our power
not only to remember
what took place but to relive it...
To find the hungry and the lost,
not a different race...
but the faces of our ancestors...
An image of ourselves.

Two projects. One finish line. It's going to be an interesting year.
So right. This is the start of what I am is sure to be the most annoying, aggravating, meaningful project I've done. Why I've decided to do 2 projects concurrently, I do not know, but here we go!

Landlords evicted hundreds of thousands of peasants, who then crowded into disease-infested workhouses. Other landlords paid for their tenants to emigrate, sending hundreds of thousands of Irish to America and other English-speaking countries. But even emigration was no panacea -- shipowners often crowded hundreds of desperate Irish onto rickety vessels labeled "coffin ships." In many cases, these ships reached port only after losing a third of their passengers to disease, hunger and other causes

LOL... I love that quote... Hell yeah that's right! Today I am going to get over it... it's done... I'm done with my "not soon enough ex" and his crazyiness and controlling. I will win in the end because I have what is really the only thing that came of our marriage... my children. They will never feel the pain and hurt that I felt all of those years. Sky will not seek out a man that is like her father and Ryder will not treat women like that. They are going to see what love is supposed to be like. They are going to see what happiness is.
Done.
Ladies and Gents of the flickr community, my camera (as well as me) are up and working once again!
I have decided to start over on the 365 project rather than try to salvage my previous one.
I hope to make my return one with a vengeance!
As for today, I spent it in bed enjoying my time of no responsibilities.
This Memorial, a national monument, was opened to the public on October 25, 2003. The Memorial stands prominently at the southeast corner of Front and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia. The Irish Memorial is dedicated to the memory of more than one million innocent men, women and children who perished during the years 1845 to 1850 and to the millions of Irish immigrants who found here in the United States of America the freedom, liberty and prosperity denied to their ancestors in Ireland.

You can still see the destruction from the Hayman Fire of 2002 in Colorado. But new trees and plants are growing and life is continuing as normal.. Here is a shot in December!
Just when I thought I was committed...
(there's a familiar life story in that line)
A bit of traveling over the weekend and a big dose of pure laziness descended on me for the past few days. So...I have no idea if I'm "following the rules" re: 365, but I still want to do this and I'm picking back up where I left off. It's January 19 and this is Day 14 for me.
Other than being a profound procrastinator, I have a sneaky feeling I'll be discovering a lot more about myself as this project unfolds. Sometimes I'm not sure why the hell I'm doing this and at others, I know exactly why. Will find the language and share that another day.
I love my new/used sweater in this pic. Scored it at the Goodwill a few days ago and it reminds me of something I'd wear in the 70's. Fashions never die, do they? They just come and go with the times. Love that, although I'm not sure I could ever get into wearing bell-bottoms again.
