365 Fail
Sorry folks. I failed to use the camera at all in the past 2 days. I’m going to try and get back on the bandwagon, but it’s hard with a lot of very stressful things going on. Either way, It’s now a 363 project… and counting. FAIL.
Day 131: I see you
The neighborhood dogs hate it when I walk down the alley.
Day 130: Dandelion World
Floating in micro space are orbs of the dandelion variety, covered in their seedling forests, pockmarked with the holes left when the cosmic winds take up the forest trees and send them soaring out into the ether, never to be seen again.
Day 127: Exit Only after 8 PM
I have spent entirely too much time working on this photo tonight. My fascination with dimly lit doors in alleys continues. The grime and grit helps too.
A little on my process here– I took a single exposure HDR and blended it with a regular shot using a dozen adjustment layers with various masks. This is very much a “making pictures, not taking them” deal. It feels good to do it again.
One of these days, I am going to use this wall and door as a backdrop for an interesting portrait shot. Remember, you can click on the image to see the larger version.
Day 126: When it rains
I kept waiting for the weather to do something different today, but it never did.
White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)
This sucker was like a freaking jumbo jet coming in to land. I had no idea how large pelicans were. According to websites, they can weigh up to 30 pounds.
On my early morning walk along the lake, I watched a cormorant pull up a trout bigger than his head. It just flopped around in his beak while the bird pondered how the hell it was going to eat its catch. A gull swooped in, screaming, and he cormorant dived and didn’t return to the surface in the time that I waited. Maybe the fish got him.
Day 124: Fire Brings Growth
City workers burned the weeds along the creek in the park. Today, fresh growth makes its way up from the ashes.
Day 122: 25 MPH
A late night walk through the park was just want I needed after expensive camera troubles today. It seems to be holding together at the moment, fingers crossed.
We have now crossed the 1/3rd marker. I can’t believe I’ve kept this up for that long. Here’s to the next 243 days.
Day 121: Alien Abduction
We have long suspected that I am the subject of nefarious alien experiments. I set up my camera on a timer last night, and managed to capture this bizzare image.
That’s right. I’m being abducted by plushy grays. On the bright side, their anal probes are much more comfortable.
120: Tulips
One of the things I really love about the 365 project is that it makes you so much more aware of the passing of time. I wonder if this is how people who keep daily journals feel? My perception of time is very different doing this. I am really enjoying the feeling of spring in particular, although perhaps doing this project is why winter felt so damn long.
Day 119: iPad Close Up
A toy? A tool? A little of both? All I know is, I’m off to snuggle up to it in bed.
Day 118: Mite Spider on a Nut
That tiny little red speck on the nut is a spider. I didn’t even see it until I took the picture. about the size of a pencil tip.
Day 116: Spring
Spring has sprung, and not a minute too soon.
