Since 2001 I have undertaken four “A Day in The Life” photo journals. I take my camera with me all day long, and take pictures during my entire day. This is my attempt at a few things:
A way to document what my life is like.
Whenever I watch Ken Burns documentaries there are the slow pans of old photos of seemingly normal things. Who takes those photos? I do.
Having fun!
My first ADiTL was
February 20, 2001, while I was a junior at UC Berkeley. It was a rainy day and I spent much of it with Colleen, a good friend of mine at the time. I attended two classes, studied with Colleen, went home and then hung out with Sarah, Ruth, and Jeremy.
June 18, 2001 was my second ADiTL. I was attending the 2001 Physics REU at the
University of Georgia in
Athens, Georgia. There I worked on the
“New Theoretical Line List for the B 2+X 2+ System of 24MgH” using various computer simulations (you”ll need a subscription to the ApJ to see the article). But I had some
real fun there. I went to an Atlanta Braves game, the
Atlanta Symphony, a
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers concert, a
Space Shuttle Launch, a hike in
Tallulah Gorge State Park in North-East Georgia, and many other fun things. It is in Georgia that I really discovered riding my bicycle, and I learned that I can ride in the rain.
After a long break (too long I think) I returned to doing ADiTL on
November 19, 2003, during my first quarter of graduate study at
the University of California, Physics Department. I rode my cyclocross bike, went to class & did some cross training with the cycling team. But all in all it was an unexciting day.
My most recent, and fourth ADiTL took place on
November 29, 2004. This was my fourth quarter at UCSD. I specifically choose this day to be one in which I was at school from 8 am to 8 pm. So I actually did quite a few things, and took quite a few photos to match. I did homework, ate food, had meetings, went to class. Exciting, I’m sure.
I hope to continue this projecct, check back from time to time.
