Old friends

I spent the weekend up in Orono with my oldest and dearest friend, her husband, and their new baby boy, who I have to say is quite possibly the cutest baby ever born. Sooooo sweet. Add to his beauty the fact that he is the mellowest baby around; he can just chill in your arms for hours. Paris came with me to hang out with their two dogs, Stella and Cassidy. These pups have been friends for years as well. It was nice to get away. I've been working so much lately, which I've been enjoying, but it's always nice to take a break every once in a while as well.






 Look at those baby blues!














BIG yawn.


















Paris, looking pretty satisfied.

Bad blogger, bad blogger


Nearly a month has passed since I bothered to post anything. School has ended and my other job has taken over in full force. But more than anything, I've been hunkering down and reflecting on my motivations for doing what I'm doing. Needless to say, it's been an exhausting exercise, but one that I've learned a lot from. Growth is painful I've decided.

I finally picked up my camera today after a long hiatus. Every day when I go to work I think, "There's some interesting stuff to photograph down here," on the Portland waterfront. And so finally, here it is. The working waterfront is a fascinating thing, but I think I like it best at the end of the day, when everything sits dormant, waiting for the next day to roll around.
