Okay so I'm already feeling a little bogged down by this project... maybe if there was more sun here and/or the days were longer I'd feel a little better. As it is I'm in an office from 9-5 so there are precious few moments to take photos so I'll be taking more inside photos from now on.
This set of images was taken on my way home yesterday... the little notebook has "Love" on the cover which I found unusual (it also seemed abandoned as it was on an empty bench with no one around). I also stopped by the Pearl art supply store yesterday as the Chicago outpost is closing. Everything in the store is 50 percent off which was pretty much a 2nd Christmas for me & all the other art lovers out there... it's been a while since I've painted/sketched but I picked up 2 sketchbooks, premium Prismacolor pencils (sadly the sets were already sold out, just got individual colours) and something I've been lusting for my entire life... a T-square!! Yes, I am a nerd. Don't hate-- when perusing the store I saw at least five other people clutching T-squares to their chests too, so clearly others have nursed this dream as well.
As usual photos taken with my iphone... sorry for the especially bad quality this time around, it doesn't seem to like florescent lighting. A 'Holga' filter and 'Lomo' filter were used for the last three photos.
I know sometimes it seems impossible. But just keep doing it! Take photos of the every day things around you...it'll help you see them in a new way. Who needs the sun! ;)
