Confession: I didn't take my camera around much with me last week...But I did bring it along on our weekend adventure around Durham, which started at a trip to the Farmer's Market with our friend Alisa where she got a super cool ring made by the guy pictured below. Next we headed to the top of the Durham Hotel where we basked in the sun and enjoyed a beverage, and went down to the vault at 21C where we had some fun with the pink penguins. Bulldega, a new local city grocery store, and Chez Miller were also on the pitstop list. Last but not least we visited the 21C bathrooms. Yes, sounds weird, but they're the coolest - they're made of glass that fogs up when you lock it (don't forget to spin it all the way so you can't see out, or everyone can see in!). #Wedontcare. I also took an impromptu product shoot for Mati energy drink in my living room as a pleasant distraction from the work I was supposed to be doing. Amazing upside of that is they liked the pic I posted so they sent over a case-full as a thank you - best day ever!!

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.
