Today, I was looking back at some of my old entries here on the Projects. Believe or not, I started this mess nearly four years ago and I have been making daily entries ever since. Some better than others, that is for sure.

There have been reoccurring themes along the way. Definitely sock monkeys, cows, chicken eggs. Numerous entries about our dogs. Lots on insects. Yep. Plenty of Usual Suspects.

But this thing has changed from when it first began. I started this while I was working on my Bachelor’s in Photography. I needed to shoot more. So I decided to shoot, process and post an image a day. I’d write one line about it. “This is a roof on Tradd Street.” “This is the deaf dog on Atlantic Street.”

Stop the presses.

But my little head started playing Hopscotch, and before you knew it, I was writing more than shooting.

So… the “project” has changed. Evolved. Transformed.

Coincidentally enough, I was working on some spiritual readings this morning, and one of the big messages that came up was the idea of exploring our potentials. The notion is this.

We cannot evolve, or grow, unless we detach from the past. Simply said, if we keep relying on what we know, doing what we always do, staying in the sameness…. we never explore the infinite possibilities which exist in the universe. Within ourselves.

Inventions would never be invented. You wouldn’t be reading this on the internet. Cell phones wouldn’t exist. We’d still be communicating with smoke signals and such.

So… I am glad that things have gone the way they have. But I try not rely on past “entries” here. Each night… I look for something new to write about. A new avenue… something fresh.

Despite the fact that I’ve probably posted 300 photos of leaves….
I can’t help it.
They just jump of the trees when I need them the most.
