Not quite dead.

Why not? I'll keep the blog going once in a while.

Portland, Oregon

As promised, the black & white series of Portland.

Apologies.

As the title of the blog states, I just don't have time for this anymore; I'm as busy as anybody else once school gets started again. Steph asked me today why I don't post anything anymore, and although it made me incredibly happy to see that somebody actually checked the blog, it got me thinking I should post an official post-mortem note.

The last few pictures (including a black-and-white series of downtown Portland, Oregon) should pour in sometime next week.

Day 71

I'm sorry! The first day of school has killed my ambition! I got so distracted in being busy again that I forgot my camera. My apologies.

Day 70

We grow tomatoes in our garden.

Day 69

Clouds always interest me.

Day 68

Time is too important to some people.

Day 67

Family vacations are not complete without beaches.

Day 66

Statue impersonation.

Day 65

The world's largest bookstore.

Day 64

Black & White portraits are always the best.

Day 63

This little model car has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Day 61

Another sunset. I know, I know.

Day 60

Yum Yum from the Mikado.

Day 59

I swear, I took a picture today! I did! I found one single photo at the bottom of my SD card with today's date on it, but it was corrupted and would not open no matter what I tried. Mark this one down as "technical difficulties". Buy me a new camera while you're at it.

Day 58

The big, blue sky.

Day 57

Continuing my theme of musical instruments.

Day 56

Black & white.

Day 55

Ooh, pretty.

Day 54

Sploosh.

Day 53

I am a zebra.

Day 52

The trees needed pruning, so I hired this local-yokel to do it for me.

Day 51

A friend of mine suggested that I should take a picture of a sunrise instead of a sunset. This is not a sunrise. I am sorry. They happen too early in the summertime.

Day 50

Traffic leads to some interesting photo opportunities.

Week 7 recap

I haven't had a day to myself, save Tuesday, for the last two weeks; it's been all very go-go-go. I feel glad for it, but also a bit tired by it. Next week I'm slated for a camp, and that will take up my mornings. Not that I ever did anything in the morning anyways, but still.

I'm not quite sure how I'll continue the challenge once school starts up again. I usually get a total of about 20 hours of free time during the week, plus weekends. That's not that long to take a picture every day. I'll certainly try, but I have a sinking feeling I may not make it some days. And that would really be too bad; I like the challenge, and want to continue with it.

Anyways, as I went to the Summer Meltdown this week, I have a few pictures for you good people.

The average Meltdown-er: silly hat, beard, shirt from a different festival, socks in Birkenstocks.

Jackie Greene.

The venue the next morning, the day it rained.

The Volkswagen van: the favourite vehicle of the concert-goer.

School bus no more; this is a hobo bus now.
