Sorry it's been a while. I've been a little busy with my apartment and I'm still getting used to the new neighborhood which means sometimes I can't shoot every single day, but I hope I will get there. And it makes me feel stressed at all times, but I guess that's part of the project.

These are a few portraits I took of my sister Maria on the 136th day of the project. I guess most of people didn't actually understood my concept on that day, but I guess that's something that happens most times. People just see its own meaning in each photograph, and interpretations vary. Nevertheless my own concept, and the one I've tried to conceal was fire, a burning forest and one's impossibility of running from it. It does mean something to me, and to be able to have the help of my sister to get to it together means a lot as well. On the other hand it's something I'm thinking about revisiting in the future as a self portrait too. Here are a few more of that day.

This is the original of the one I picked for the 365:

And these are a different editing of the originals:

And from fire to snow:

Take care and have a wonderful weekend !

There are days when I feel totally depressed about what I could do, and what sometimes I just can't achieve. There are days when sadness occupies my whole heart, and I don't feel I can make it up to my own expectations anymore. Those days are like a devastating dark cloud that cleans all my happiness about the projects and things I normally feel I can surpass. Sometimes I truly hate my photography, other times it makes me smile. And although I know that's just the way it is, that does not mean my heart can light up in the dark just for knowledge. I just feel I can do much better, but then when I just can't, it breaks my own heart. And all it feels like doing is giving up, though I know I'll never will.

Who you want to hide your darkness from
so they won't let you down?

So today was a somewhat stagnated day. The only thing I got to do was going to IKEA to buy some basic items to have on my apartment, but since I didn't had that much time, I need to go back tomorrow. Today's portrait was a failure. It was so cold and raining, though you can't see the rain on the picture, and my tripod and camera where outside exposed on the wind and rain and my remote wasn't even working correctly, and I got frustrated really soon. And so I quit after 5 minutes. This is the result. I like both versions, but I guess I like the black and white better. What do you think? I have one more as a bonus.

Have a wonderful evening!

Here's some of my last photographs on the project:

I decided to create a blog. It's one more way to keep myself organized and I'll be able to post some more photographs until I get a pro account on Flickr. I'm currently saving (although I don't work anymore) for a new camera, because my Nikon D70 is being rude with me and my project. It's not that it doesn't work, but since it's in such a bad shape, and since it's not really mine it does not feel as good as having my own.

As most of you know I'm in the middle of the project 365 on Flickr, which is changing my own perspective of life and it's beauty. As well as you and your kindness and friendship through the tough moments of my photography experience, and your support never ceases to amaze me. Your blowing my mind everyday with your work and inspiration.

Thank you so much for all your support, and happy photographs!
