The How

Y’see, I was on a new path.

I had a career that was in flux and more than a few questions about who I was and what I wanted rattling around my heart and soul. It wasn’t exactly a dark time, but the edges of my life were shaded in on a tiny island in western Canada while I sorted out some things.

During that time (1 year, 4 months, and 27 days ago, to be exact) I met a woman who was, for lack of a better term, a glimmer of something. Maybe I had given up the idea of that something. Maybe subconsciously I really was looking for it but either way, all of a sudden there she was standing right in front me, tapping the tips of my toes with hers. While I’m sure the last year and a bit of magic have enhanced the image and rosied up the recollection, I knew from the moment she leapt into my arms on that steep, chilly stairway in Seattle that I had found that someone I never wanted to let go of.

This Christmas, I found the perfect ring at the last second in a tiny antique shop in my home town. To do the deed, I decided to write and draw a pop-up/pull tab book to read to her. The first night I was there, I pulled it out of my bag and snuggled into bed with her, read it together and asked her to be my wife.

So, against all odds, the Universe and I conspired to make a dream come true for the both of us and we’ve decided to share a tiny piece of it here for you. Without Tumblr, we wouldn’t have ever met at all and some of you have been our most avid cheerleaders.

Thank you so much. <3

I knew from the moment I tapped his toe with mine in the most magical kitchen in the most magical house in Seattle that I never wanted to be anywhere but next to this wonderful, perfect-for-me human being.

Thank you, Tumblr, for leading him into my life. Thank you, Tumblr friends, for sticking around here with me, even after my blog turned all mushy and gross. <3

Day 366 ~ August 31st, 2012

Well. This is it, folks. In the last year: 

~ I have fallen in love with an amazing woman and it’s too wonderful not to cultivate. I have decided I’ll be moving to her early next year.

~ I quit smoking (it’s exactly one year tomorrow, actually) after off and on smoking for 15 years. Good riddance.

~ It’s been, in a lot of ways, the hardest year of my life: I have lived in 5 different houses, mostly not on my own and with family. I am returning to a career that I needed a break from and have made almost no money at all. I am far away from my sweetheart. Ooof. 

~ I have been introduced to some wonderful people with whom I hope to make real life acquaintances someday.

It’s been one holy hell of an up and down ride: It’s been so motherfucking frustrating at times. It’s also been one of the best experiences of my life. Despite all of the distractions, I still made this damn thing work. I am so proud of this project.

However, one thing still nags at me: Along the way, I missed a total of 8 shots

Usually it was because I was traveling to see my lady and was just a bit preoccupied. This isn’t an excuse, but this *is* my project (and so I make the rules about what flies and what doesn’t. Hehe.)

Now… I’ve decided to do penance for those missed shots. Starting tomorrow, I will upload one of my favourite alternates from the year, one-a-day, for 8 days. I actually don’t have a lot of alternates; I would go until I found a shot I liked… and there is only an alternate when I either had too many ones I liked, or it took me a long time and several setups to find it…

Please enjoy… and thank you so, so much. 

(Go follow my other blog if you haven’t already. I’ll be continuing the photo stuff there, and expanding to portraits of others. It’s mortalcompass.)

<3 

I’m gonna miss this project. *sniff*

I love this face. This is the face he gives me when I’m being a smart ass (which, when I am around him, is basically always) that means, “Uh huh. Are you done yet?” (The answer to which is, “NEVER!!”)
