7/52-11 Unexpected Egrets

For this week’s 7/52, I decided that the theme would be “not at home; not at work” and made ‘limited’ myself to shooting in areas outside of a 100 yard radius of my apartment or desk cubicle, and also disallowed shooting from the car window. One of my main goals with this hobby is to …

MM #5: Is it really? I’m not so sure…

This bad picture is sort of a teaser for something I’ve been thinking about whilst munching a piece or three (or 13) of (not) dark (enough) chocolate most night after dinner, while watching a bit of tele before bed.

It started when I noticed some leaves reflected in the window of the open door.

So it’s just …

So today begins my 7/52 project. What is a 7/52 project? It’s sorta like a cross between a 365 project (one picture every day for a year) and a 52 project (one picture per week for a year). The goal for the 7/52 is to produce 7 pictures per week (defined as the period beginning …

365.367 Olive

Well, I shot a bunch earlier today—went by the old apartment to take loads of pictures of how nice and clean it is for when the former landlords try to charge me for cleaning it…—and kind of had to force myself to find something to shoot this afternoon. Luckily, cats are always around. Unfortunately, this …
