I did it! I completed my SiPgoes52 project. There are still some upcoming photos to clean up in Photoshop. Choices between alternate photos I need to make. Some upcoming words for which I want to take more photos, hoping a better one will come up. Some older words I want to revisit. But I’m now sure …
A mysterious telephone call During the summer we got a mysterious call from an undisclosed number on a faraway island, asking us if we would be interested in collaborating on a top secret project. We had to keep it a secret, but we said yes. Of course! We love top secret projects, especially when they …

The deadline in which everything needed to fit and …
The Process When I read about this month’s Project, I was first excited and ideas started to pop into my head as I was reading Boris’ blog post. Then as I was going through the list of constraints I started to get afraid I couldn’t make it. There were two major obstacles for this project …
This month seems to be flashing by, in circles, colorful, great fun, and at a dizzying speed. No time to focus. Just like a Tardis. Or a good old merry-go-round. No head, no tail, an outer space portal-like experience. A blur of colors. A childhood passion. Yet before you know the ride is over and …
