Good morning, guten Morgen.
Photograph of a living room. Gray sofa pushed in front of a bank of windows covered by blinds. White throw pillows and folded blankets at each end. Warm, glowing light coming from a lamp on an end table. Walls are cream. In the background, a poster of Caspar David Friedrich's painting Wanderer Over the Sea of Fog, a camera tripod, and a large whiteboard pushed up against the wall. On the wooden floor, a cream area rug with sepia and blue designs. Blurry self portrait taken looking in a mirror. Subject holds a DSLR camera in front of her face and wears a dark, greenish hoodie and a mauve winter cap. Some long brown hair is visible. In the background, a bit of a dark sofa shows with a white throw pillow. A window covered by blinds lets in a little light. Cream walls.

Good morning in this blur we call the world.
Just slightly blurry photo of a view through the open blinds of a window. Bleak grayish-white sky, faded green treetops in the background, also visible on the upper RH side of the photo: the cream-colored window frame and the pulley that allows the bottom portion of the window to be opened. Blurry self-portrait looking into a mirror. Background is cream-colored wall and window with blinds, morning light streaming through. Subject is wearing bright red fluffly bathrobe (with a little bit of white piping visible around the neckline) and blue knit beanie, a little brown hair visible. Face largely hidden by DSLR camera. Hands (peach-colored) holding the camera are prominent in the foreground of the photo.

My Stairwell and I, a Dyptich
Sunny inner stairwell of an apartment building. Checked brown carpet on wooden flooring, brown and white walls painted in a geometrical pattern, photo taken from the landing looking down the stairs, with a window in the background. Purposefully blurry, like how stuff looks underwater. Blurry self portrait of a woman dressed in a black hoodie and gray beanie with a little brown hair visible holding a DSLR camera up to her face pointed at a grainy mirror. Light from a nearby window streams from the right side of the photo at a downward angle...striped pattern due to blinds on the window. In the background, another sunny window is visible.

Hullo Hallo. Since my mom died, everything feels blurry, so I guess that's why the photos need to be blurry, too.

Still proof of life, though--at any rate.
Purposefully overexposed and blurry image of tiger lilies in tall green grass.
