I have decided to undertake the Project 365. My friend, Aisheh, who I haven’t seen in a couple of years posted her project on her facebook wall, and I was fascinated to look through her nearly year of photos and actually have a pretty decent idea of what her life is now like. I didn’t want to wait for next January 1, and so settled for the first day of summer which in many ways is a perfect way to track a year, through the evolution of seasons.

The first picture was taken from atop a Ferris Wheel at the Reno Rodeo. This is the Northwest View of Reno. The mountain is called Peavine. I adore going to the rodeo. I have only been to the rodeo itself when I was about 11. I couldn’t handle it. The moment I watched them sling a calf around to rope him, I decided to never come back. However, every year there is a carnival they set up outside the livestock grounds. Always a good time. Travis won me a blue dolphin stuffed animal. We drank lemonade and rode almost every ride, coming close to vomiting a couple of times. A wonderful way to begin summer.

Another Day, Another Blog

In the interest of becoming more grown-up and professional. I have graduated from blogspot to word-press. I want to be able to better manage by writing. In fact, this is really a calculated move to just make myself start writing more. I am also starting a 365 photo-project. Although, the photo taking will begin tomorrow. I suppose I really just wanted to get rid of the set-in post that wordpress just automatically gives you. The one that says “Hello World.” Well, anyways, hello…everyone.
