Been a bit rubbish lately so here is some stuff that I've found over the last week. Ranges from a very funny day at work (the hats) to a lovely cat, to just some interesting light.

February 25th 2010

We have been hit by more snow! I was at work so didn't really have to venture out too much in it. Here is the view from the window.

Chinatown - Chinese New Year

Fences 2 - Heatherwood

This is the neighbourhood surrounding the family. The quietness of the streets seem to reflect the quietness of their lives. Picture perfect houses with no clue of what goes on inside.

I braved the cold to try to break the spell I've been in recently. I tried to get back to nature. They look better larger - feel free to give them a click.

Silence

So I guess the obvious has happened at the moment. I am struggling to produce my 36aday 'rain or shine'. I'm telling myself that there is a time for all these things and maybe some quiet time is what I need but I fear that I have simply fallen out of the habit. And I don;t know why it's happened. I feel like I can see these opportunities and they feel like they belong to someone else not to me? I reckon the more I ignore them the more they don't present themselves to me.

I have been coming up against this notion about conversation and how photographs are the conversations that happen between us and the ever-changing landscape. We are presented with these little moments like gifts and it would seem that we have to be worthy enough to receive them. This works in a accumulative way, the more we see, the more worthy we get, the more were presented with.

To ignore a conversation - to be presented and not reply - is a tragic shame. The moments I believe are presented individually to us as they exist only once in there unique form, much like we do. I think I may be committing this tragedy and in return are not being blessed with so many conversations. My life has become quiet. And that would be a tragedy more than the rest.

Tourist shots

I know how 'touristy' these are but I don't care! They were little gems in my day so I thought I would share them with you.
