There’s nothing like taking a phone call while your daughter is snapping your picture. Thanks for ignoring me, Dad. I realize that being ignored is precisely what I want my subjects to do for me. Now, how to make that happen? Gotta think those photog-ninja thoughts again.

The last few days have been chilly and rainy. The snow on the ground has almost melted entirely and some mornings feel almost springlike outside. The darkness and general dreariness make me want to hole up inside with hot beverages and good books. However, work calls to me and even when I ignore it, the internet and DPP are always calling my name. Taking shots of people every day is indeed a challenge. Some of my energy and drive has ebbed away with the daylight and I feel I’m getting to the hard part of the December Photo Project! Yet, I know that pushing myself is really healthy and that sometimes it exposes creative thoughts and energies I didn’t know I had.

Here’s to tomorrow and the days beyond! Press on, fellow DPPers. We can do this!
