spring to spring » a year of creation under one roof

Dear Spring to Spring followers,

After 9 months of consistent documentation, we hit some major snags with our project last December when we faced a major year-end slump in income from freelancing and found our living situation too difficult to deal with. Thus we embarked on another move—our third in less than a year, and the most difficult one of them all—while taking on more new clients and adding to the plate a demanding weekend part-time job for Joel.

It was a bummer to miss documenting some of these days, but it’s also what you get when you’re dealing with a life documentary; that is, sometimes things get so tough at the moment that the silence says more than a haiku or photo could express. That said, we’re going to start going again as of today, while working backwards with what we captured during Christmas in Germany, Scotland, and coastal NC. For the days that we missed, we’d like to make them up beyond the first day of spring 2010, so that we’ll still have 365 photos and haiku and thus complete (more or less) the goal that we set out with at the beginning of spring last year.

Thanks for your support! We’re excited about finishing strong!

Joel & Ashley
