Since day twenty, I've been shooting on my land camera most days with the exception of day twenty two. It's now the early mornings of day twenty seven as I write this.
Day Twenty One
I didn't do much of anything, just roamed around my empty house in search of little things. I found a chair in our backyard that used to assist me in looking over the fence that's now falling apart. After I watched the sunset on my roof.
Day Twenty Three
I spent the day, like most of the days, reading the Hunger Games series. After my mom came home, I snapped a picture of her in the kitchen and we had a movie night.
Day Twenty Four
Snapped a few photos of things around the house. Ran up to the top of a huge hill overlooking the city and more hills and just took pictures and got to think. I thought the sunset was almost over so I left to get frozen yogurt and when I came out of the store the whole world was glowing pink and orange and I looked to the sky and saw a magnificent sunset. Sadly, I had run out of color film.
Day Twenty Five
More Hunger Games, I went for a stroll around my mom's new neighborhood in the warm sun. Found my way up another large hill and looked out over the city and thought some more. I took one of my favorite photos I've taken on this new camera (the lonely tree).
Day Twenty Six
I got lunch and frozen yogurt with Yvonne. I broke out my camera and took about two packs of film. We went to the park and saw kids drinking and dogs playing and found our little patch of sun. My land camera had its first issues. I accidentally ripped out the paper needed to pull out a picture and being development and had to open the back of the camera, exposing the last three images in the pack. Later, I pulled on the same said paper and it pulled out two, leaving me with one white picture and an accidental double exposure which reminded me the camera could do that. Later, my grandma gave me a little quote she cut out of a magazine because it reminded her of me.
At the moment I have a mostly positive outlook on my year-long project. But like the last two or three times I tried, I was still motivated at this point. I go back to San Francisco tomorrow and when classes start and I get back into the groove of living there it might get harder to complete but hopefully I'll make it through. Wish me luck.
