Color



Connecticut has been white and gray lately. White on the ground and in the trees, white on the roofs of buildings. Gray in the sky, gray slush on the sidewalks and roads. These journals are an effort to bring a bit of color back into my week.

Autumn and Progress


 

I celebrated the first official day of Autumn with my co-workers at our annual Autumn-Fest. It was a little chilly, but we had fun frolicking in the pumpkin patch and feeding chickens. These photos were taken on some Kodak Max 400 film that I got for free at a flea market. It could have been expired, it could have been damaged, but it was free so I gave it a try. I developed it with the Unicolor C-41 kit.

So, I am happy to report I am making a good deal of progress on my goals. As I wrote about a few weeks ago, I created 4 Simple Goals before 2013. I have kicked my soda habit and now only occasionally enjoy one. I would say it's down to once a week, which is better than I expected in such a short time. I immediately started washing my hair less, and although I hate day 3 of "lived in" hair, hopefully my head will begin to get used to it. I haven't had much "downtime" to enjoy, however I was sick earlier in the week and I was able to just relax and watch I Love Lucy reruns without feeling too guilty. It's still a struggle and I did work on my Halloween decorations a little, but overall I think I succeeded in "enjoying" my downtime (enjoy might not be the right word since I felt like crap, but you get the idea). Unfortunately, I haven't taken any Polaroids since I set that goal. I definitely need to devote some energy to that.

As for my goal of creating 150 journals before Renegade next summer, I have been thinking a lot about new types of books to make, but haven't sat down to make any in several days. Sometimes you need a break, and I don't think I have fallen too far behind yet.
