Project 365: June Retrospective, originally uploaded by PartsnPieces.
This month has been a challenge for Project 365. It's not hard to remember to take pictures, but it's been difficult to upload them everyday (connection issues). But I'm now caught up with posting them, and I will work harder at keeping caught up. The rain this month hasn't helped matters, either. It's rained about 25 of 30 days in June. I also haven't been a very good commenter on your 365-blogs. I'll get better at that, too. Anyway, as I look at this month's photographs, and knowing all the work-related stuff I've had to do this month, I'm surprised that a recurring theme is one of nature and not work. Here I have photos of natural elements (sky and water), people, plants, and animals. OK, I guess we could all say that we have shot "natural elements" as I have defined them . . . as those topics just about cover anything that can be photographed. But still.

She told me how she had just won $300 in a church give-a-way. Then she asked me to take her photograph. (Best large.)

I am starting an experimental photo series that will occasionally bleed over to Project 365. I stole this terrific idea from a flickr contact, Shadowjak (check out his photos . . . they are terrific). For this project, subjects are told, "Think of a word or short phrase that symbolizes [or identifies] you." This project will be an ongoing experiment of self perception. I will post a few more on photos on Flickr tomorrow.

In looking through photos today, I found this one of my dad. He was in the Coast Guard during World War II. That's him on the far left, at 17. I don't know what it is with young men (historically) and these types of photographs. I suppose they thought this was funny, men at war.
152/365: The Ones I Didn't Buy

The Ones I Didn't Buy, originally uploaded by PartsnPieces.
Several years (and some pounds) ago, I wore shoes like these. I wore lots of very high heeled shoes in lots of colors and styles. Shoes like these are called "stripper shoes" around these parts (from certain close-minded people) because of the heel height and because of those animal spots (women are like wild animals, you know?). I called them cute. But I wore shoes like these, and I wasn't a stripper. I was a secretary back in the day-- before secretaries were called administrative assistants. I thought about buying more cute shoes like these today (a little lower heeled, as the higher heel is no longer comfortable), but I didn't. The store manager kicked me out of the store for taking photographs of shoes. He must have thought I was an aging secretary . . . or that I was stripper . . . or that I had a shoe fetish or something. I don't know. I do know, however, that I didn't buy any new shoes today, and that I'll be avoiding DSW for a good long while.
