days in frames

it's interesting to see progression through art. i developed the Reshoot of the studio shoot today, and you have a lot of time to think while holding the canister of fixer and doing the half-bouncy, sleepy baby mom-stroll around the dark room. the pictures turned out great, and what's better, ms. tuttle found that they Hadn't deleted the test pictures off of the digital, so i have a cd. good stuff. but it made me laugh to compare the pictures to those that i've taken through time. even just from last year, there's a marked style change. some of it just may be the mood of the studio, but i don't think that all of it is. it makes me wonder what happened that changed my style so much. the year may have had a lot to do with it (two best friends on missions, another married, the penguin, and other things). how have a changed? it's times like this that i wish that i could change lenses and look through another's perspective. how would i think of myself a couple years ago if i had seen what i would become? i wonder sometimes.

p.s.- the cat is eighth grade, the park is last april, and the rose is last week. they're a little out of order. hasta.
