Dear Photo Diary | Newness in the air
The month of May has been divided into two very intense parts: beautiful weather that draws me outdoors, away from the computer and blogging, and heavy computer work time that also has drawn me away from social media and writing blog posts. But today I (almost) finished one of my articles, and while the sun […]
Dear Photo Diary | Pink Polka Dots
Since I’m still not one hundred percent well after the flu, I haven’t made any new collages and feel way behind.

Dear Photo Diary | Pumpkin Season
Dear Photo Diary, last week was Week in the Life photo documentation week, but I didn’t join. I have way too many things on my to-do-list right now to add another big photo project (I did print my 2012 book last year, but so far I have not even started working on my 2013 one […]

Dear Photo Diary | a Yellow bird in the ...
We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don’t think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you’re hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and […]
