1/31/2012 - i can't hear you

focused at work

and

chillin' at home

1/30/2012 - ... just a little bit...

... off the top, please

Getting a cut at Rudy's Belltown.

And then a double shot in a window and mirror while walking back to work:

1/29/2012 - objects in the mirror...

... are later than they appear...

this may look as though I snapped it at 4a after being woken up by a little girl. The sad truth is that while I may have been woken up at 5.30a (I don't remember now but it certainly wasn't 4), but I actually took this around 9.15a, so there's no excuse for that visible exhaustion ....

1/27/2012 - just a shadow of a doubt....

not sure what i was doing here....


but here, we were at jack block park:

IN THE SUN!!

1/19/2012 - ice day!

a reflection:


This morning we had freezing rain on top of yesterday's 4+ inches of snow. Which meant a mess of a commute, but as I was taking the water taxi, it just meant a careful walk down to and onto (the ramps were the slickest part of the walk) the boat.

I took this picture as I was walking back to the dock on my way home this afternoon. Lots of snow falling around me. A bonus photo as proof:

The old fishing pier, from Pier 50

and one more, an iphone, hipstamatic shot from work:

before heading out into the cold

1/18/2012 - snow day!

today we had a lot of snow, so much so that schools were closed. i worked from home in the morning, while M took the girls out sledding. then they came in for lunch and a break, and K took this picture:

Daddy, by K

then we went and did more sledding:

me and L, by M

1/17/2012 - things are getting kind of boring....

tuesday -

another from a ride home on the water taxi

i'm realizing several things at this point:

1. there's a great deal of repetition in these pictures
2. i'm getting bored
3. i'm not what i'd call "enjoying" this project
4. it's only 17 days in....

so i need to come up with ways to make it more interesting (to me, and, theoretically, to the girls).

like maybe coming up with some new approaches (shadows, reflections, timed pictures....)

1/16/2012 - reflecting

another shot in the bathroom mirror.

it may look like morning, but it's 4.16pm. and my face is (apparently) quite cockeyed.

lucky day

1/13/2012 - friday

on the ride home

a water taxi commute shot. it's getting colder, and they're calling for possible snow this weekend.... we'll see.

bonus post

early to work, headphones on for focus

heading home from work

Blue skies, courtesy of clear weather
(general exhaustion, courtesy of a long day)

it was bound to happen...

I failed to take a photo of myself on 1/9/12.

So, instead, I'll substitute one from the family archives:

Olinda, Maui, 1965
(prvz/pavz/kpvz)

This is on property my parents owned, sold later to Mike Waltz so mom could take care of her parents as they got older.

me and (one of) my gal(s)

just another afternoon lying on the kitchen floor....

If you look cute enough, it won't matter what I look like

where the girls are...

on the water taxi

... working so hard...

What I look like, when I'm "working."

back to work!

on the water taxi and headed to work:

i took others, but i looked even less friendly in those....

every day is a holiday....

i had the day off today!

and so did L...

(iPhone photo)

good morning

how i look when i've been woken up too early on new year's day:



note: i went to bed about 9.30pm, was woken at 11.30p by the fireworks starting, managed to get back to sleep maybe an hour later.... so blame it all on my cold!
