“I cannot help but wonder how many of us walk through our lives, day after day, feeling slightly broken and alone, surrounded all the time by others who feel exactly the same way.” -Patrick Rothfuss, The Slow Regard of Silent Things
While waiting in line in San Francisco this week to hear Neil Gaiman speak, I struck up a conversation with an interesting woman dressed in beautiful shades of green. We talked of our love of Gaiman, but also of our own creative endeavors. It felt wonderful to have projects to talk about and to feel comfortable sharing my journey. Art allows us to connect through our shared brokenness and to feel part of something bigger than ourselves.
I’m still new to calling myself a writer and photographer, but I’m loving this journey of creative self-expression. My photos this week mostly come from that overnight trip. I hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful week.
If you’re unfamiliar with the 100 Day Project, the concept is simple. You choose any creative project you like and do it every day for 100 days, sharing your process on social media using the hashtag #The100DayProject. This year the dates are Feb. 13-May 24.

Love the two images of the bridge, esp the one where it appears as bokeh.
I find images fascinating where we see man-made contrasting with natural.
Baby shot is cute, cute, cute.

terrific piccies and I’m dead jealous of you hearing Gaiman. Love his work, even if it is sometimes too bizarre for my brain. American Gods was extraordinary though Good Omens, because it derives from Just William books and is devilishly funny will always be my fav…

Have you read “Neverwhere” or “The Ocean at the End of the Lane”? Those are my favorite, and Gaiman’s voice is simply dreamy to hear in person.

Never where yes, not Ocean. If you need a Gaiman voice fix go with Audible as he reads his own work!

A good range of photos that’s for sure. I must go against popular opinion as I find the flower good but the big red bridge part in the background distracting as I don’t know what the focal point is supposed to be. Baby bubbles is priceless 🙂

That’s why I put it in the “bonus ” photos as I wasn’t sure about it either. I really wished the bridge was a little clearer or maybe the fog had lifted just a tad bit more to give you more perspective. Thanks for the feedback, it’s much appreciated!

The bridge clearer would have been good even with a hint of the famous SF fog
