6,768 Miles Apart

It has been such a busy week! 6,768 Miles Apart is a little bit late. Forgive me. But looking at Diana and I's pictures, paired together, apple-pie straight - helps me breathe a little again.

The contrast between our mornings is especially marked this week. While I tried to capture the muted winter morning light in its quiet, steady glory, Diana's pictures at a busy restaurant and around her house hummed with dynamism, bustle and life. I found excitement in her mornings. I hope she finds peace in mine.

Diana's pictures are on the right, mine are on the left.

  7. you two!!! i could just picture your works on beautiful white gallery walls. you have already essentially curated the exhibtions, so it would be a cinche to get them hung (well, i am horrible at that, but the pros are quick at it)! until that happens, i will be pleased to look at all of their beauty on my computer monitor! love them. so very much!

  32. Thanks so much for commenting on my blog :0)
    Season two of True Blood just premiered yesterday on HBO. Since I'm a super poo college student I usually just catch them on megavideo.com or surfthechannel.com which are two rather safe websites to go to if you want to check it out. Just a thought :0)

  33. i love seeing the simple everyday aspects of life and how different they are for each of us. the suitcase and oranges are my favorites of diana's and your curtained room looks wonderful.
