One of the only flower photo shoots in my past.

study of hands

"Hands covered in condiments."

My buddy from work just loves playing in the mocha sauce. Right before we serve it to customers.

Shh. I'm only kidding.

Thanks Alyse.

"On a picnic morning without a warning

I looked at you and somehow I knew

On a day for singing,

My heart went winging

A picnic grove was our rendezvous

You and I in the sunshine

We strolled the fields amd farms

At the last light of evening,

I held you in my arms

So when days grow stormy

And lonely for me

I just recall picnic time and you."

Thanks to Lis, the perfect hand model.

"Well I've been going for a couple of years

And it seems that the answer, it is coming quite clear

Oh, I don't even know what I am doing here

But I can drive with my eyes closed and play by ear

And I can sleep beneath the piano

Just like that's my natural home

With all those keys I never feel alone

And I can sleep beneath the piano

Just like that's my natural home

With all those keys I never feel alone"

Thanks to Sarah for being my hand model.

study of hands

Friday.

"i don't know how you stand
when you've got no floor
or how you can breathe
with your hands on boards

i just want to be not what i am today
i just want to be better than my friends might say"

shummer sho full of colorsh

It's enjoyable.

It's Friday.

"I drink good coffee

Every morning

Comes from a place that's far away

And when I'm done I feel like talking

Without you here

There is less to say."

(Less than two weeks to go at Starbucks!! Yeeeayy.)

I'd like to thank my hand model buddies Sarah and Nathan.

for a sad day

I miss driving with the windows down and the music up...and of course taking pictures from behind the wheel.

happy birthday, yessica

I love a good umbrella.

Taken on the walk from San Francisco's ferry building to Pier 39.

Alright.

Thanks to one Scott Hulme, I have spent the last two weeks trying to locate an awesome photo project to conquer. I looked around online, I looked through my own photos, I asked a few friends. Their ideas:

- Unlikely people with firearms

- Standing by cake in inappropriate situations

- The inebriated homeless

- Hands covered in condiments

So then I stopped asking friends...and decided instead to take on one small project at a time. Instead of a 365 project, I will post a photo or two from my latest project every Friday until I feel it is completed. The rest of the week, I get to shower you with old pictures found on my computer.

Project One: A study of hands

To begin:

so i love denver again...

stand in the shadows of the buildings...

didn't take this one, but...

For father's day and all.

Week: Over

Jen: Still alive

Victory: Mine

"I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me"

I will rise up early and dress myself up nice
And I will leave the house and check the deadlock twice
And I will find a crowd and blend in for a minute
And I will try to find a little comfort in it
