Day 10. Today is the 10th of January, and it was a good day. I spent most of my morning just relaxing, and then I invited a friend over; we talked for a while, went out, walked and just had a good time. It has been a while since we talked frequently, so lately we’ve been spending more time together. It’s brought on a nice feeling of nostalgia, a somewhat bitter-sweet memory of times that are now long gone. At the same time, I’m glad to know that even though we’ve known each other for years and we are have changed so much, things are kind of… just the same. There’s just some people in your life, some very specific people that make you feel like time is an illusion. Friends, family, it doesn’t matter. The special quality they possess is a connection that dissolves time, that makes a year ago feel like just minutes, a feeling of trust and understanding that makes you just about certain that you can talk about anything.

It’s only right that we did today’s photo together. He loves abstract shapes and textures, so we made the photo using a Pine Cone that I had picked up in a forest in Envigado about a year ago. It’s quite amazing how getting so close to objects can distort them until they become completely unrecognisable, almost alien. My first thought when developed the photo was that it looked like a Triceratops; I’m not so sure about that any more, but I still like it.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings :)

Thanks to les brumes for the texture.
