365 - 1

Saturday, August 1, 2009 | |

Today is day one of my 365 project. I thought about this for about a week when a friend of mine suggested that I do one. I've contemplated doing a project like this and set August 1st as my start date. Below is my first entry and it says alot about me, particularly the piano. I went to college for Music Education and have played the piano since I was about 11 years old. I have loved the piano, the sounds the timbres and the sheer melodic qualities of it's notes. In some ways the piano holds a bit of a spell over me, it kind of calls me. I'm not a good pianist, but I love it none the less and it will always be a part of me. So this is my first of many photos that are a peek into my life and heart and loves. 365 days of me. I also have another motive behind this 365. I have set a goal of losing weight along with the project (about 100 lbs). These photos I leave behind are a sheading of the past and a looking forward to the future, a symbolic gesture to the future me. One day I will look back at this project as a way to describe the transformation that has taken place in my life. Here it goes...
