New Project

I've decided it's high time I stop moping and begin a new project.
I've been taking snap shots with my little point and shoot everyday to record the environment I move through. I am going to take the pictures, after a month or so, and put the chronologically in a grid to reflect the passage of time. Hopefully the final execution will be a bit more elegant than that description!!
I think the monotony of seeing the same things and being in the same places every single day causes me (and others, I'm sure) to really tune out and loose a sense of presence in the moment. These are just a few of the images I've gathered so far.

The BART goes above ground between two stations. This is the view I see pretty much every Monday through Friday

That was a fun trip. Thank you. I will be looking for more now that your dad has my computer up and running again. Oy boy, the minimal preassure he puts on me to buy a Mac. Someday, maybe, when this one cannot be risen again.
