My absolute favorite kind, it was one of those blue-sky day-after-the-storm kind of days today.

When I lived in Arcata I found myself staring out one of my bedroom windows constantly. The weather in Humboldt can be described as schizophrenic, at best, so there were always interesting things happening out the window, which faced the massive Behavioral & Social Sciences building on campus.

I kept a photographic record of the constantly changing weather and how it interacted with the building. At the end of our time in Arcata I made a mosaic and gave it the incredibly innovative and mind-blowingly genius title of “My Bedroom Window.”

In our new apartment I find myself similarly aware of the light that wanes and waxes, varying in intensity, on our living room walls each day.

I’ve always been drawn to these patterns (”real life light leaks,” as I like to refer to them), and now living in an apartment whose entire West-facing wall is covered in windows, well, I’m a little bit in Heaven over here.

So here’s to a new series of “same but different” photographs that are already giving an uncomfortably accurate insight to our daily lives. Yes, that’s cardboard taped to the bottom of our ottoman. Wouldn’t wanna scratch those precious hardwood floors! :)

On an unrelated note, there’s been a couple updates to the blog. Last night I got restless and changed the layout to something even more simplified. Sometimes when I get these urges I chuckle at myself, because page design seems so insignificant in the face of RSS feeds.

I also got out the external hard drives and dug up copies of photos that had gone missing on some posts, so now you can see them (if you’re curious, it was these three posts).

I have started to become kind of obsessed with sunlight these days. I’m drawn to the way it can creep into a room or onto a surface, and the patterns that result. I wouldn’t call it a series because the work isn’t very cohesive, but I did make a Flickr set called La Luz Y La Sombra to help chronicle my love affair with light and shadow.
