January 25 - 31

This week was a great one (probably because it involved a lot of eating)! Matt and I collected our PictureDURM/Artstigators contest prizes from the Nasher Museum and Mad Hatter Bakeshop (thanks again!) and took advantage of some fun photo opportunities while at each place. Elizabeth, the pastry chef at Mad Hatter is a magician - the cupcakes are top-notch on the tasty scale and look really pretty too. Check them out if you haven't already! Winston-Salem was on the weekend docket, where we got in a lot of nephew playtime, relaxed on the Wake Forest quad, and enjoyed a few local eats and brews at Small Batch Beer Co., Hoots and The Porch. We capped it off with a walk through the Food Truck Rodeo at the Durham Farmer's Market.

About the project:

If you take a look through my hard drives, you'll find folders and folders of photos, most of which never truly have had their time in the limelight. These photos are the result of some random moments that I caught while my camera happened to be close by, photowalks from around town, a beautiful instance where the sunlight hit a subject just right, but none of these times warranted a dedicated blog post or feature story on my website. Many of these photos I really like, but once they're snapped they sadly get lost in the digital abyss to be found months later when I sift through my earlier work just for fun.

To bring some of these lost images to the surface and make sure they get their time to be enjoyed by others, I'm embarking on a journey this year to share my weeks in photos with you all. Not only will this give me a platform to post the random beauty I see in the world during my day-to-day, but will also encourage me to once again bring my camera with me everywhere so I can be sure to catch those visions once I see them.
