365 day 2- breathe

Here is some irony for ya, last night, I ate some black eyed peas. They are supposed to be eaten for good luck on New Years, right? I remember my husband's southern Grandma saying it will bring health, wealth and wisdom. Well, as you can note its 6:40am here in California and I am already posting a new pic. About an hour an a half ago, I woke up choking on pure acid. yep, I have acid reflux, those black eyed peas had bacon grease in them, so I am guessing that's what caused it.

I was in a deep sleep and I could feel myself choking and then I felt someone lift me up, I was half awake trying to catch my breath and I ran to the bathroom and proceeded to throw up tummy acid for about 10 minutes, which in turn caused me to have a full blown asthma attack.
(lovely, right?)

So my friends.........I ask, are black eyed peas good luck? Either way, here I sit, I've taken my meds and used my inhaler and just waiting to be able to lay back down so I can finally sleep, I had just gone to bed at 3:30am

365 day 1 - Exploring

I was so excited to get out and take pictures today, but I woke up kind of late and a little buzzed from the night before! I can't believe its 2010, does that number look strange to anyone else?

After finally dragging myself out of bed, we got in the car and explored. Found this really cool abandoned house, it was truly awesome, junk everywhere. There was toys, bed, clothes, just random household stuff. I wondered what happened that it was just left like that. I sadly was having lighting issues, and by issues...I mean, I was getting frustrated as can be, total user error, then I kept hearing a buzzing sound......yeah..bees. um, I am allergic! No matter where I went I would see them swarm around me, it was rather funny after awhile.

I did manage to climb in the house and look around, it was all tore up but you could almost visualize what the house must have been like. we wondered if they were really short cause I am only 5'4" and I could almost touch the ceiling in some spots.

There was this beautiful window that was huge and I could imagine sitting there at Christmas time with a huge tree and it snowing! ha it doesn't snow here, but yanno....it was just imagination.

I settled on posting the above pic as my 365 because as soon as I saw it I squealed, a broken record player!!! I love music so much, I can't even begin to tell you. I also MISS vinyl. I use to love listening to the crackling sound. I am bummed I didn't keep any records but I know I can start collecting them now and just buy a usb record player, who knows maybe I will start (one day)

more photos will be on my flickr page of today ( I think, we'll see)

1 week and 1 day til I start my project 365

My photographic Journey....

I have decided one of my goals for 2010 is to improve my photo making skills, as well as learning as much as I can about editing.

I don't have major rules and restrictions set for this project. I really want this to be a photojournalistic point of view of my year. Some parts might be private and intimate, other parts might be goofy or boring. I don't plan on having the camera pointed at myself too much, basically if I take pics of myself, ok....but if I don't...oh well.
