a change of sorts

I've gotten so behind in posting that I feel overwhelmed by the prospect of catching up, so I'm not going to; I'm sorry. I've decided not to do another 365 project — after four years, I need to relax a little. Although I've finished my 365 self-portraits, I'm still getting caught up with uploading them so if you're interested you can check those out on my flickr album.

In the new year I may try another less intensive project, maybe a weekly portrait, maybe a roll of film each month, maybe both, maybe something else... I haven't decided just yet. But I'll be sure to let you know here, even if I decide to close this blog and share my new work elsewhere. Thank you for following along, and in the meantime please feel free to keep up with me on instagram or tumblr.

My entry for the pumpkin cookoff (unfortunately it looked better than it tasted). As always, visit the cookoff blog to see the other entries, and the winner.

I finally had another session with June; we started some of the outline on my upper arm and did some colour on the fossil layer. Managed two and a half hours, and after that I met Mom & Jimm for beer and food and hockey at St. Augustine's. Then I went home with my groceries to start on my cookoff entry.

For Chelsea's bachelorette, she didn't want to do the club thing, so we started with a potluck at her place and then a splatter paint party at a studio nearby. It was a blast! And as expected, you pretty much get covered in paint. I paid to upgrade to the 11x14 canvas, and it turned out pretty nice. Still need to pick that up...

Met Liang for dinner & drinks at Steamworks after work. I got there about quarter past four and they hadn't yet put on the hockey game (which started at four) in the lounge area. When I asked the server if he could put it on, he came back and told me apparently it was a bet the bartenders were having to see how long it would take someone to ask. While I was waiting on my own I got to enjoy this view of the fog creeping in across the inlet; it was so beautiful I wanted to scream.

This is a hard photo to post. I'm very self-conscious about the little spider veins in my legs... one of the joys of being as pale as me is that every tiny flaw is hyper-visible. But I can't really so anything about them, so I may as well just accept them.

Went outside to check what was still doing ok in the garden, and later Sarah had a few people over to see photos & hear stories from her Nepal trip. Afterwards everyone else went to Tap & Barrel but I was in a weird mood where I felt lonely at home but didn't want to go out. Jeff came home and we had dinner together and watched Breaking Bad.
