As I sit here writing this, I am being eaten alive by mosquitos because I cannot find my Off & I don’t want to go inside. The evening late summer air is feeling too good but I’m going to suffer later.
Wait, I’m back and I found the Off.
Anyhow…. Today, I completed the first portion of my summer photo project that I first mentioned here.
I wasn’t sure how taking the photographs would go for me but I found it to be intense to say the least from an emotional standpoint.
The last photo taken today was bitter sweet. I was happy to have satisfied this portion of the project but it was sad to see the state of the final house, or rather lack of an existing house.
Tuesday, I’m having the film processed then I’ll start assembling the accompanying short stories.
And I still need to find a title for the project. I’ve been thinking about this pretty hard… Stay tuned…..

For starters, as of now, the hotlink to the post where you first mention your project is messed up.
Anyhoo, that sounds like an interesting project. I’m excited to hear how you could have moved so many times. Sounds like it could be a great series of stories.
Thanks for the photo credit, but dang man… all I did was hold your phone and push the button. lol I posted the pic I took of you with my camera wearing that chain on Facebook though. Well, I posted one of them. I got 4.

Maya, what a sweet story. I got my film back & will be scanning tomorrow. I may post the 1st story Thursday… Monday at the lasts because Im working all weekend. Well, Im playing on Sunday.
Michael, Link adjusted to your blog. Was not sure… I did Google you though.
When you hear, you may be surprised. Maybe not but its going to be something to get off my chest & out of my head.
Got the photo & LOVE it. Thanks homie!
