There is a certain comfort in constants.
I realized tonight that I have a pattern. When I return from a trip, I almost always have dinner with Evelyn and Alan upon my return. I am usually exhausted and I find such comfort in their company. I remember when I finished my 8000 mile roadtrip. I hadn't even been home for 2 hours and I was sitting in "Friday's" chowing on potato skins with my friends. I was too tired to make a good portrait tonight and I apologize to my good friends for not doing them justice. I do very much appreciate having them as a very important pedal note in my life.

And, with this photo, I do believe that I must sign off on this portrait project. I was hoping to make it through the year (the length of my last photo-a-day project). But, I fear that I am losing endurance. It has been a wonderful experience and I thank all of the individuals who were patient enough to allow me to stick a camera in their faces. The point where I shot two self-portraits in a row about 2 weeks ago was when I realized that I should shift gears. If I continue, you all may be subjected to seeing way too many more of these self-portraits! Instead, I'm going to try to continue but will expand my subject matter to all that is around. Thank you all for helping me along on this endeavor...I hope you will continue with me on this ride.
