legend

I hate the Winter, and I hate January. Hate is a strong word. I hate strong words. I hate waking up in the dark, when I cannot see; only the Darkness outside. So you see, I set myself a project - a reason to get out of bed, apart from going to work three days a week. Which is when I awake in the Darkness. Three times a week; on the days of Monday; Tuesday and Wednesdays. So. Until the 31st of March 2013, I will take a photograph; date it; note the sunrise time, and make a comment. That way I will get through January.

No let up.

But it is still so cold.

The possibility of Spring.

I cheated. I took this yesterday.

5/03/13 - 6.37AM


This morning found me in a better mood.

MARCH WEEK 10 - 4/03/13 - 6.39AM


Cold, blue Spring. And I got my mobile back.

Thursday 28 February 2013

27/02/13 - 6.50AM


Invisible sun.

26/02/13 - 6.52AM


It was so grey outside, I had to put the lights on inside.

It's still cold out there

Thursday 21 February 2013

I'm not sure of anything.

19/02/13 - 7.06AM



I get it now.

WEEK 8 - 18/02/13 - 7.08AM

My mobile phone, which I have been using to shoot this project with the photogram application, has broken. I am now using another camera, hence the format change. I didn't want to stop the project, so I continued. The size of the images are 6x4 - as if they were prints.


Brightness and spirits lifted by a blue sky.

23/01/13 - 7.51AM


No entry for the day.

22/01/13 - 7.52AM


Most ‘depressing’ day of the year over yesterday! Blue Monday it was, apparently.

WEEK 4 - 21/01/13 - 7.53AM



Changed routine. If I go in later to work, I get more light in my flat, and I can experience it.

Thursday 17 January 2013

16/01/13 – 7.58AM

In darkness. My mood is dark, and closed. In light. I am lighter and open.
