Photography

  • Complete Project 365! Started on my 33rd Birthday (April 3rd) - DONE!! :)

  • Mirror Project - 1 photo a week of me in a reflection - Didn’t do this so much but did a bit
  • More Black and White photos -Didn’t do this so much but did a bit

Things I did do in 2008 in no particular:

  • Survived Hurricane Ike!
  • Didn’t make a big change I thought I would but there is still 2009
  • Got a new piercing and tattoo both in Dec. in Austin
