Urban settings

I started this project in the beginning of the school semester and forgot about it the next day. Bad timing on my part.

Now, it's Wednesday, May 21, I understand that. I shouldn't even begin to do such a project unless it's January 1st! But practice now will prepare me for the New Year's resolution :)

I also recently realized that there are very few days when I don't document something in my day and I feel like I missed a little part of life by not capturing it. So this will motivate me to go a little bit further.

I haven't picked up my camera yet to go on an adventure. I'm considering posting photos from the day before as my daily photos because I always look at them the upcoming day. I guess I'll start off doing it the day of, and if that doesn't work, I'll retreat to putting them up the following afternoon.

Here is a photo from Monday, to begin with:



It's possible that I will put up one or two photos more. I think I want to put up 3 a day to tell a story of the day's variety of events. It just won't work otherwise. Here we go:



A third photo to conclude the mood I was in that evening:



I really enjoy looking at industrial sites, construction, but at the same time I like to parallel the urban to the natural. I know there is not a fine line between both, so I take on the role of the interpreter. I think it's good that the two are integrated, and I also feel like I'm ok with an industrialized society as long as we still know where we come from.

First Post!

I think what I will do for this project is post one photo every day from whatever I have been doing that day. This will keep me on task to take photos daily regardless of how I feel or what the weather is like. Likewise, I will be able to only select one photo out of a whole group of great shots to make a lasting impression on everyone reading this blog.
