Out of my way: days 386 — 390
In which I ponder self-doubt and second-guessing myself. Or maybe I don’t.

A little perspective: days 381 — 385
In which I reminisce about high school art class and buy an imaginary penthouse suite.

And then a step to the right: days 376 — 380
In which I reminisce about commuting to the suburbs and enjoying foggy vistas

The view from the bridge: days 371 — 375
Here’s a pattern I’ve noticed for a while: I generally don’t have a lot of interesting pics on Sundays. I play volleyball (or try to) in the morning, go home, eat, nap, come back in the evening. And I end up mostly just taking photos around the gym. Some of them are great, of course. […]

A second beginning: days 366 — 370
I was really tempted to call back to my very first photo on this account, but smartly decided against it. As cool as it might be to repeat last year’s story beats, I want to strike out in unexplored directions. Besides, a bowl of Froot Loops™ is much more interesting, right? I went back to […]

The year in pictures: days 1 — 365
It’s been a year, folks. It’s been a good year. Let’s look back on it with a selection of my favourite photos. New Year’s Day In 2016, some friends were doing a photo-a-day challenge, and I tried to do it too. However, I couldn’t keep up the discipline. Part of it was that I’d never […]

Dreaming of a white Christmas: days 356 — 364
It’s a low-key kind of time, between Christmas and the New Year. I’m hanging out at my parents’ place; I’ve seen both my brothers (plus sister-in-law and nephew), and I’ll go to my twin brother’s place in Montreal for NYE, as per our custom. Christmas happened a bit late, because it wasn’t until yesterday that […]

new phone who dis: days 316 — 355
Happy solstice! I’m actually writing this on Christmas Eve, but I want to keep the retrospectives in multiples of 5 days. Gotta follow the rules! Even rules I made for myself months ago. 2018 will probably different. Still haven’t decided how. We’re starting out with more night shots: some wet fallen leaves; some cool fountains […]

Whole wide world: days 291 — 315
The 300 day deadline came and went. The 305 day deadline came and went. It looks like I still need to work at this “blog every five days” challenge. I think the key is getting into a rhythm, a routine, but I’m not there yet. I take photos religiously every day, but I don’t think […]

Fire and water: days 286 — 290
Why is it that both my voting selfies this year were take in the rain? I like this one better, though. There’s no dedicated selfie wall complete with hashtag, but I’m actually smiling and I’ve lost a little bit of weight since May. So that’s nice. It’s been a interesting five days, weather-wise, alternating sunny […]

To live in this place: days 281 — 285
There’s no such thing as “red”. Or at least, no one thing. I forget, then relearn it every year around this time. Green shading into orange shading into red shading into brown—and all in the same leaf or leaf cluster. It’s beautiful, and rarer here than back east since more plants keep their leaves over […]

Days of twilight: days 276 — 280
Tuesday I decided to walk home along the Coal Harbour seawall again. It was quite a bit later, and the sun was seriously going down. Unbeknownst to me until I turned around, the near-full Moon was coming up at the same time, shining peacefully over the Convention Centre. Bonus: there was a little floating quay […]
