The post-Mardi Gras post-Disney bliss is wearing off around here, thanks to the cold one-two punch of reality.\u00c2\u00a0 Big hits this week included my Mother’s illness (update: she finally had the surgery and will hopefully be home later this weekend), returning to grading and classroom coordination, preparing final syllabus changes for the course this summer, the kick-off to a 2-year participatory action research project using Photovoice that I’m stoked about, and a long Skype call with a committee member who gave me some much needed advice when she basically told me to stop each and everything I am doing that isn’t my dissertation AND JUST FINISH THE DAMN THING.\u00c2\u00a0 I need to hear this over and over and over again.<\/p>\n

And then, I think I need to check out for awhile.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe live in a convent in Mexico for a few months.\u00c2\u00a0 Somewhere I can be left with quiet and air and my computer.\u00c2\u00a0 In sort, if I’m going to finish this thing, I need SPACE.<\/p>\n

Here is some inspiration, both taken during last fall’s trip to Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

At the time, I was a little obsessed with panning.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a branch of fall leaves.\u00c2\u00a0 I like the feeling of flying into it, which is why it makes me think of space.\u00c2\u00a0 Warp speed, Captain Zulu!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

This was taken in the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a huge table of colored sand.\u00c2\u00a0 My Dad spun the table while I held the camera for a long(er) exposure.\u00c2\u00a0 It reminds me of the cloud-like nebulae in deep space…<\/p>\n
