Here’s the full version of day 1, I didn’t realize I had just updated the cover! I know how to use the internet, promise.

Day 2, where I date myself, literally, but also was fun to find out what was popular the year I was born.

Day 3, describing some parts of my current life, like what car I drive, books I’m reading (print and audio), and what hobbies I took up during the pandemic.

Day 5, I liked this prompt a lot! Had to memorialize the perennial sound of choppers over Boyle Heights.

Day 6 is one of my favorites so far. It brought together disparate elements that share the same color and it was fun to pair the Blue Man Group with the Steller’s Jay (a bird I see a lot in the mountains).

Again I was overthinking the assignment and couldn’t pick one thing, until I went down a rabbit hole yesterday with researching greenhouses and ending up with the White House pool, and whatever happened to FDR’s pool? I had to double check, because I couldn’t believe that it had been hiding in plain sight, in every press briefing I watch on TV. It’s under the floor! Very cool trivia, methinks.

Maybe it’s the fact that I spend a lot of time at home, but this prompt didn’t take a lot of brainstorming. This is me in my natural habitat.
