I'm managing to stick with blogging in the new place.

I've started a photo project to help wake myself up creatively, and am blogging about it and posting the resulting photos. Come on by!

A couple of years ago, I registered caitlinburke.com and then promptly forgot about it. The registrar sent me a reminder to confirm my contact information recently, and I thought, what the heck, why not use it. My plan is to post every weekday, a mix of what's on my mind and photography (mine and pointers to others').

"Huh?! Huh?! I can't even hear you...! Huh?! ... Huh?!"

Also, someone reading a book called Sailing Home: using the wisdom of Homer's Odyssey to navigate life's perils and pitfalls.

And a man to my right who keeps coughing and then, turned very slightly toward me, saying "excuse me." Three times so far. Also, there appears to be vodka in the Gatorade bottle he's drinking from.

My day needs purpose. Perhaps that purpose 
is bringing you a sausage and a pickle. 
Where do you work?

Over the last few months, I've been going back to film photography. Negative scanning and photo editing for the desktop have it possible for me to really - really - enjoy it again.

(Perhaps they are referring specifically to this front-page story today: Feinstein says she'll fight 49ers over "SF" identity.)

Not all the time, but pretty regularly. He has a bit of a shy bladder, though, so this shot was very hard to get. He seems to enjoy looking at his litter box while he uses, um, mine.

I am on a mission to declutter my apartment. I've already moved two large objects out, and I've stacked up lots more things to be recycled and donated. Mr Bun is not superthrilled about all the disarray. (I am not actually getting rid of anything he sits on, no worries there.)
