Project 365 - Day 8

Today's photo features the Galileo Thermometer I bought last year. I haven't found a place to put the thing yet so it's just been hidden away in its box in a corner. The glass bulbs with the colourful liquid makes it look very pretty. Since Galileo is pretty old I thought using a preset to make the photo look "aged" was quite appropriate. In my head I thought only my eye would be reflected but clearly I didn't pay much attention in high school physics during the reflection chapter. Nonetheless, I think it turned out alright.

Project 365 - Day 7

Very normal shot today. I usually like to take pictures of my cousin Logan but thought I'd take a picture WITH her today. So I had her help me set up the tripod and this was the result.


The munchkin is very talented, this is the result of her second shot. I think she should start a 365 of her own! She kept coming up to me saying "one more time" after I took the remote from her.

Project 365 - Day 6 (The Eye)

The Eye. My right eye to be exact. I think I might try to take pictures of each feature on my face and build a collage. I'll probably come out looking like a monster...LOL.

Inspiration for this came from my 2 year old cousin who has a lot of potential for photography. I see great things in her future. She picked it up very quickly, she was pointing and pressing while saying "cheese" in a matter of seconds.

Item 3: Swiss Deux, Monkey Bar!

I'm at the Monkey Bar in Switzerland. Why did I choose this photo? It's one of the few bars that I went to that let you smoke indoors. I heart this place. There's also a gigantic electric humidor and you select a cigar. I had to get a recommendation from a friend about what cigar to have. He had some absinthe if I can remember. Anyways, a post-work cigar was awesome.

Project 365 - Day 5

I often put my feet up against the wall to help the blood flow. Something I learned from my yoga classes. So I decided to put on my silliest pair of socks today and take a picture.

Those socks seemed like a good idea at the time I bought them. It has individual sockets for each toe. It feels horrible!

Project 365 - Day 4

There were two birthday gatherings today so I got home very late (4AM). As I was walking back to my house from my car I looked at all the lamp posts on my street and I had an idea to take this picture. This was the only shot I took today. Long exposure of me walking down my deserted street at 4AM. The long exposure captured all the motion as I walked away from the camera. It turned out the way I expected, except for the lights. Those turned out better than I thought. I want to capture the same scene for all the seasons.

I used some spot healing in Lightroom for post-processing today. There was a plastic cup lying on the ground so I had to take it out because it was grabbing all the attention.

Item 2: Swiss Hotel

That's me before heading off to work in Zurich Switzerland. I was living in Zurich between 03-January-2011 till 28-February-2011. So about a good two months. That's the apartment that I was staying in. It was an incredibly swanky apartment. There is an ensuite bathroom and then one of those bathrooms with just a sink and toilet. What's behind me is my dining table. Behind that is the living space with the sofa. The key that's attached to the door is a special key. It's like magnetic or something. It sounds really nice, but this was one of the lower points of my life. I take this photo before I head off to work and put in my resignation letter to Infusion Development.
