day 150 - climbing the mountain



right now i have 5,068 pictures on my hard drive that i've taken for this 365 project. i'm not even halfway through (day 187 will be that mark) and i've got over 5k on the hard drive. it's taking up almost 60 gigabytes of space. it's almost time to buy a new hard drive specifically for this project.

it's becoming a bit different of a thing to do this project every day. i'm less pumped up about it, less thrilled to try new things..... feels more like i'm grinding away at it right now. making small but steady improvements, not big leaps of insight or understanding. it's more about refining things at this point. i'm still excited about it. i still think it might be the best idea i've ever had, it's just lost a bit of that thrill of exploration feel it had. the newness is gone, now i'm slowly categorizing every detail of everything i've discovered for future visits and return trips.

and i am discovering things that i still want to experiment with. it's not a lessening of the thing. i think it's kinda like a relationship. over time the infatuation period fades, but things get deeper. things feel deeper, more rewarding these days. i feel like i'm crafting images more and more, and blindly experimenting less and less.
