Cushioned:  July 2, 2009
They had these cozy chairs at the Starbucks by my bank. They do not have these cozy chairs at my usual Starbucks, which I am sad about.

I thought this might be cool while I was taking pictures. Now I'm not so sure. But I don't have any backup shots for the day. Well, I have more shots like this one, but that doesn't really solve my problem.

Nine months down, three to go! Given how behind I was and how many days I felt exhausted and uninspired, I'm really quite pleased with June.

Usually, my kitties are nice models, but on this day they were resentful and twitchy. This was actually the only decent photo I took of either of them.

Red + Green:  June 29, 2009
I actually really love red and green together, but it's a bit tricky to find ways to combine them that don't scream "CHRISTMAS!" Because that's totally not what I'm going for, generally.

A couple of glasses of wine really can make it harder to take photos. I don't like any of the pictures I took that night.

Cory and I drove out to Fort Worth to see some art at the Community Arts Center and I had to stop on the way back to photograph this building. I have no idea what it is. Every sign I saw on the outside simply referred to "the Company" and never to its actual name or what it did. That actually made me kind of nervous.

Cory and I spent some time at Starbucks reading, playing games, and using the internet (since his internet was down). I've spent way more time in Starbucks since I started dating Cory than I ever expected to.

This is my brother's cello. I really love the cello. It's just such a beautiful instrument (in appearance and sound). I'd love to learn how to play. I had fun playing with this one.
More cello and some bonus trumpet. )

Faced with a stack of American literature exams to grade, I turn to photography. I hate grading. I love teaching, but I dread grading exams and essays every semester. The thing is, it is almost never as hard as I feel like it's going to be, but I can't get over that feeling of dread. I just can't come up with a workable and ethical way to teach literature or writing that will allow me not to grade anything.
Another photo of exams and a rare self-portrait. )

The only miracle we can perform is to go on living, said the woman, to preserve the fragility of life from day to day, as if it were blind and did not know where to go, and perhaps it is like that, perhaps it really does not know, it placed itself in our hands, after giving us intelligence, and this is what we have made of it.
