a year in review.

i've been seeing a few year in review photo montages popping up in the blogs i read (karyn and anabela, for starters) but it was faythe's post that finally tipped me over the edge and inspired me to go back through my archives and do my own.

i still have yet to upload all my pictures from 2010. it's a big job. but looking back through all the places, people and projects i have been involved with in the last year is entirely worth it. i have a real problem with looking forward and living beyond the present. this says nothing of my near inability to take stock of my past accomplishments and feel satisfied. 2010 was not a year without difficulties (are there such years?) but it was all jammed full with beauty, adventure, creativity, other people, magic and growth.

thanks for inspiring me, pals!

here's the whole thing on flickr.

pure light explosions.

for some brain-dead reason, i could not for the life of me remember how to make my camera stop taking ridiculously long exposures. it's so simple, it's very embarrassing. but the reverend and i are working so hard these days that many things are slipping past our beleaguered brains. after figuring our my stupidity, i took a few goofy pictures using camera functions that i had to dig out of the recesses of my consciousness. that second picture really expresses what life is like here in the middle of every night.

pointlessness.

this is explainable but, you know...why bother?
