Project 365

Perhaps you have noticed that I am falling behind on my photos for  Project
365 and you would be correct.  In light of things going on in Haiti as well as
other personal projects, I have felt lately that my attention needs to be focused
on bigger things than taking pictures.  Over the past few weeks Jake
and I have been working on several Haiti relief projects from
deciphering 911 messages and relaying them to local organizations on
the ground to helping friends plan and organize a Benefit Concert that will be

Whether you join a MLK Day Service Project, research the Civil Rights Movement, listen to the "I Have a Dream" speech, or participate in any number of celebrations around the country, today is definitely a day to do something.

Some of you may notice that Days 14-17 are missing.  Sad, I know. 

The past few days have been wonderful but a tad bit busy filled with new classes and my wonderful husband's birthday.  As I was stressing about not getting photos taken and posted I remembered that my first goal of this entire project was "Have Fun!" not "Add more stress to your life!"

So, while this goes against every perfectionist bone in my body (and maybe yours), we are both going to have to face the fact that Days 14-17 are MIA. 

Western Michigan University's East Campus has quickly become one of my favorite places to shoot.  It's old, often abandoned, and gives off a classic, ivy league look while at the same time emitting a creepy, ghost town vibe.

East Hall was one of the first buildings built (1903) and is uniquely located atop a hill so that from the steps of East Hall you can see all of modern WMU and downtown Kalamazoo.  It's a cool experience!
