#Project52 – Happiness Is
“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, “This is what it is to be happy.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar These lovely birds were outside my kitchen window the other morning. They made me very happy.

It’s that time of year again, making resolutions and looking back at who we have become. At 30, I often still feel like I’m playing at being an adult. Especially on those days when I see my friends and family with their grown up lives, having kids and making big decisions. I do have to…
Read More#OurProject52 – Back to School
I don’t have any kids, so I don’t take those back to school photos that most people do, but working at a university, I do have the opportunity to take some photos of the students when they get back to campus. These photos were taken after freshman orientation, so many of these are new students.…

Once again, this is a catch up post for #OurProject52. It seems that after I slacked off on the Motherhood challenge, it became a lot easier to keep slacking off. But the #OurProject52 challenge is something I really do want to keep doing, so I’m making myself go back and do all of the ones…
Read More#OurProject52 – Motherhood
I managed to skip out on a few weeks of posting my #OurProject52 photos, mostly because I’m a slacker, but the main reason was that I didn’t manage to take any photos with fit the motherhood theme for the May 14th challenge. Not being a mother myself, taking photos that relate to motherhood was a…
