Six days on the road with Mom

Six days
Five nights
Four tires
Three cameras
Two women
One trip.

(Six cameras if you count our cell phones and my mom's, but I'm just speaking of what I shot with)

It was a pretty intense trip.

Day one was driving up to Mill Valley, just past San Francisco on the 101. Instead of jetting up the 5, we took the scenic route.



Had a fanTASTIC dinner at a neighborhood place in SF. I had duck, perhaps for the first time, and the peach slices in the salad just melted in my mouth.

We crossed the Golden Gate Bridge before sunset...


And spent the next two nights with her friends Erin and Joel. They are amazingly sweet people... who I have no pictures of. They did, however, encourage me to procure a head of garlic, take it with me everywhere, and snap pictures of it.

I called the project "Finding Something to Savor Everywhere I Go". About forty photos of my bulb of garlic made it into the flickr set:



It solved my problem of lacking a subject in some situations, and I challenged myself to work it into as many shots as possible. Most failings happened when the bulb was left in the car or at our motel. It's a concept I'll definitely play with again, though.

Rest of the photos here.

I've been on the road for many days and can't keep my brain sharp as late at night as I'm accustomed to. D: Stupid waking up before noon all week...
