The weather has been fantastic for the past few weeks. It’s done what I always hope it will in winter; just gone right from glorious summer to dry, crispy and colourful autumn to snowy winter with very little rain or wind. The sky has been so, so clear and blue on some days.
It’s been so beautiful I’ve been feeling very inspired by it all and have become a little obsessed with the trees. The branches look so amazing either frozen or totally bare. I’ve been taking pictures of so many of them. Foliage in general really.
I’ve been so busy. There’s work and I’ve been to a couple of gigs (Boy & bear and Johnny Flynn and the Sussex Wit, both fantastic) and all the traveling between my parents house, Bath and Bristol (which is starting to grate a little it has to be said).
On occasion I stop for a second and realise how dramatically different everything in my life is now to a year ago. A whole year can either seem like a very long time or not very long at all. It feels like both.
I’m on the verge of FINALY investing in a decent lens for my DSLR. It’s quite scary, like really dedicating myself to ensuring I carry on. Even though I know I will anyway, it’s like a contract with myself or something.
The 365 project continues! There have been some hiccups and a couple of missed days (I took photos the next day for these so there IS a photo, just not taken on the right day) but generally I think I’m doing pretty well. I thought I’d get more people asking WHY I am doing it but that’s not really happened, interestingly. I mean, it is sort of odd I guess. Especially to anyone not too familiar with the idea self-portraits generally.
