no. 89 - or dare...

no. 88

AT AT&T Park where the Giants usually play baseball, however we are here today watching the Cal Bears play football while their stadium is being updated.
Isn't this the prettiest stadium? If you get tired of watching the game you can always look out at the boats sailing by.

no. 87 - finding me

no. 86 - remembering

Taken at a memorial site on September 11.
I made a conscious effort to not watch the news or any of the special broadcasts about that terrible day.
However I did want to devote some part of my day to remember.
We were the only ones here. It was quiet and peaceful.

no. 85 - sky gliding

One of my goals since the beginning of this project was to dangle my feet from somewhere. I thought a ferris wheel was the obvious choice however this weekend I found something even better at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
Today i am here. Sky gliding overhead, kicking my feet and enjoying a long weekend get away with my family.

In related news...

This morning I got an email from Tracey Clark. Tracey is the all around awesome founder of Shutter Sisters and hosts inspirational photography workshops and online courses. 

I was lucky enough to meet her while attending one of her workshops earlier this year (that's a photo I took of her, cute hair right?).
In her email she told me I was highlighted in one of her Big Picture Class prompts. 

From what I understand the assignment for the week is to capture an image of your feet, right where you are. Point down and click!

She then pointed her class to this site. This is exciting. Really. Thanks for the shout out Tracey!

Welcome all! Thanks to those of you who have already sent me lovely comments. Feel free to send me a note or link to your photos, I would love to be inspired by your "where I stand" shots. (email: info@smallroots.com)

I also co-moderate a flickr group called "From Where I Stand" - feel free to join in the fun there. (I see Holly has already started a discussion for Picture Inspiration peeps!) http://www.flickr.com/groups/fromwhereistand/

Lastly some of you have also said that you might start your own similar project. If you do, send me a link and you may be featured here. Have Fun!

wish i had such a nicely manicured lawn.

no. 83 - at the candy shop

We walked in to find candy of all kinds, shapes and sizes from the floor to the ceiling. We might have been in candy heaven. Decisions were not easy.
We opted for the chocolate covered honeycombs, poprocks and soda gummies.
They also have gelato. Yes we will be back.

no. 82 - dancing in the streets

I came across this lady and her partner dancing in the streets.
I'm glad to know this couple is here. I would like to revisit them one day - perhaps in the day time and perhaps when I have more time.

no. 81 - soaking it in

off my feet, soaking in the last bit of light of the day.

no. 80

no.79

I have fallen behind on the I am here project. It's not that I don't think about it. It's not that I don't continue to take photos of where I'm at. I think I'm moving into a new stage of this project. Recently I've been taking lots of photos similar to this one above.

If you have been following the site you'll see that it's outside of my "standard format".

I keep feeling like I'm going against the grain, disobeying my own rules.
However...
It feels right.
So I'm going to go with it and see where it takes me.

no. 78

same place where I took the no. 18 shot last May, 2010.
this time there were more hints of pinks in the bunch.

 

no. 77

It's easy to smile when you're spending a day at the beach.

no. 76 - your name here

Finding my mark. Are the stars trying to tell me something?
