April 14th – April 20th is Project Life 365 week 16! Vertical lines, beautiful cities and tragedy:
Day 104: #inspiration. I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent in DC this week. There is so much beauty and history in this city. You feel a real sense of American pride in every direction. It will pump you full of inspiration!
Day 105: #redemption. Today was a tragic and difficult day. And ironically the inspiration word for today seems to fit. I chose not to take a photo, but instead make this image because my heart goes out to everyone in Boston and in the US today. I once spent a wonderful week in Boston for a graphics conference, and as soon as I was there I absolutely fell in love with this city. This all makes me so angry and sad. It was especially a long and exhausting day for me and my co-workers – not to even compare it to what people involved must have gone through today – but when you work for a news station it can be a lot to take in. We hear about it before the general public, we spend the entire day listening to and watching all of the coverage, live footage, soundbites, etc. I cannot change the channel and look away to get a break. We have to stay on it every second. And it’s hard to shake off once you get home. But we do it, all while feeling for the victims and their families. I can pretty much recite word for word each and every account of the day… I really will never understand why people want to harm others. It’s an awful part of society that I wish could be cured.
Day 106: #dangerous. Once large creatures roamed the earth that are no more. It must have been a sight to see and sometimes I wish I could have. so dangerous and so beautiful.
Day 107: #symmetry. The poor Washington monument is in braces from the VA earthquake, still shot down for repairs. But from across the pool it still stands tall and majestic. Perfect symmetry on a cloudy day.
Day 108: #hello. I pretty much talk to my computers more than people on a daily basis.
Day 109: #dedicated. Also fitting for this week. The police and emergency responders in Boston did an amazing job with everything. So on my way to work I quickly snapped a photo of the local police station without getting pulled over for questioning 🙂
Day 110: #satisfying. I was very grateful to spend the day to sitting with my friends at a cookout, glass of wine in hand and unwind after this insane week.
If you would like to follow along, I’m posting these daily on facebook, twitter and instagram. And of course here each week!
Thank you for reading 🙂
