Day 131

Other than setting the light balance, there are no edits on this image. That's actually me as seen through a small round mirror sitting on a colorful tablecloth.

Day 130

I like the patterns on this microphone. For some reason I'm reminded of an ice cream cone.

Day 129

Yep, another Olivia sighting... I took this just as I was leaving this morning. She is going to grow up way too fast!

I used natural light as it was a bit dark making this image a bit grainy. You get the same effect (graininess) shooting high ISO film -- but for an entirely different reason. The digital grains are amplified noise. The film comes from the actual grains on the film. OK, it's way too late to get into this. Let's just say Olivia's a good baby and leave it at that!


So, at lunch today Angel and I were playing with the macro setting on our small cameras.


This is Angel's almost empty cup of tea. I used a flash on this and saturated it a bit.  Check out Angel's image of this cup.

 Angel was capturing the reflected image of the overhead light off his iPod. And I caught his image while he was shooting.   The focus is on his dog tag in the center. It looks upside down cause he was sitting across from me. You figure it out.

 And I caught the elevator guy fixing this hydraulic elevator. This is the top of the elevator cabin. Not as Gucci as the James Bond films, but interesting anyway. I took the other elevator by the way...

Day 128

Today I'm celebrating the return to active duty of my Canon PowerShot SD 950 IS. Had a lens problem that a local camera shop fixed for me. I'm going to throw in a few more images to celebrate.

Here are a couple of images from lunch at Jason's Deli.

Just a pile of electronic junk. I feel like a kid with a ton of stuff in my pockets. Angel and I emptied our pockets for this shot -- and it doesn't include my Canon...



And this just as I was leaving the complex after a long day at work.

Day 127

Self portrait with emphasis on Olivia.

For those days when I get a bit down it's nice to know there is one female who loves me no matter what -- unless it's dinner time or a poopy diaper...
