Isolation Photo Project, Day 10

Last week I ventured into the woods near the Sourland Mountains in search of wildflowers, more specifically hepatica. I didn't find any. The rains on Monday and Tuesday kept me close to home and out of the woods but today I returned to look. I chose a trail, the Rockhopper Trail in Lambertville, where another area resident, Mary Anne Borge, had mentioned seeing them.

The trail was muddy and sloshy but Bhavna and I continued along and after 30 minutes I was rewarded with many specimens of Hepatica.

I really need this project to keep my sanity. Thank you, Jeff Sinon.

Isolation Photo Project, Day 9

For Jeff Sinon's isolation project I am to capture at least one photo a day. But what if you are in a mood? What if you pick up the camera, drive into Princeton with your wife and "stuff starts happening"? You can't seem to stop clicking. You see images everywhere. The images aren't spectacular, but you are personally drawn to them. You don't know why you like the scene; you just know that you do. And you come home and you post-process with an Adobe Lightroom filter you create at the moment, and then your wife asks which one are you going to upload, and you say, "All of them!"

All except for the doors. Ok, not all, but a lot. Except for the doors. That's a separate post.

Just because. Because you like them, and then you realise there is a pattern unfolding. It dawns on you that subconsciously you've got a set of images that have something in common.

How'd that happen? It doesn't matter. But still, it feels like I should post just one. The strongest one. The one that feels just right. The rest? They make a collection for another post.
