Contemplating Impermanence
“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”…… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence
Self-Portrait 34
By my count, this is self-portrait 34 in this project. When I need to shoot something interesting everyday and I can’t find a suitable subject, it makes sense to shoot myself.

The subject…… Continue reading The Crazy Photographer at Work

Two Wild and Crazy Guys
This is what a tired son with a cold and a tired Dad (both with very little sleep) do when left to their own devices. Two wild and crazy guys – with apologies to Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. Shot with my Droid cell phone. Day 133 of my 365 photo a day project. If…… Continue reading Two Wild and Crazy Guys
Worry – Self-Portrait
