Cool, eh? Yeah, I feel cooler just looking at sunglasses. Mind, I also feel healthier looking at salads, so . . . Another foray into product photography. This time, the ‘product’ was the sunglasses of friend James. =)
daisy chain
“Sometimes, I wish we could start out old and grow younger.” A profound musing from the girl with daisies in her hair. Happy birthday, Kaitlyn. =)
TETRAN love joo
Greetings and much unstoppable cuteness from TETRAN. These adorabubble little things are called TETRAN. Their diet primarily consists of earbuds and, while their tummies aren’t big enough to eat any more than just the buds, they’re handily equipped with 23 “slip-stop” spikes around which to twirl the remaining length of cord. TETRAN, faithful website visitor. Faithful website visitor, TETRAN. I’m …
treefall
Lotsa rain + more rain = soft ground. Soft ground + lotsa wind = treefall at UVic. A bonus Friday photo ’cause, damn, was it ever some crazy kind of blustery this week. Thanks to Steph for the heads up on this one. =)
straight flush
I win! . . . right? Okay, I know zip-frickin’-diddley about poker, so you actually might’ve won with your pair of sixes. A product shot using the very low-tech, yet surprisingly effective no-background technique created by taping two 11×17″ pieces of white paper together. =) Not perfect, of course, as evidenced by the left-hand corners, but not bad for using …
Polly want a friend
An Earl’s parrot sits alone after the theft of his compatriot. There once lived a pair of brothers — newly of their manhood at ages 19 and 22 — who, one night, came upon an idea so brilliant, so grand, so capital that, were it not guided by blood alcohol content, one might almost call it revolutionary. “How wonderful it …
Swan Lake sun
The sun reflects off the surface of Swan Lake, covered in its thin layer of I’m-not-really-sure-what. I don’t think it was algae bloom, ’cause an algae bloom’s supposed to be slimy and gross, right? This was more like zillions and zillions of itty bitty leaves and whatnot. Fascinating, but not slimy and gross. Mind, I didn’t dip my head in …
real live snowflake
No electronical trickery or photographical manipulation here — that thar’s one real live snowflake. Ya hear all about it when you’re growing up . . . snowflakes aren’t just white specks, but actual six-sided flakes, no two of which are identical. I accepted it as truth, of course, but it just became so much more real when I leaned in …
the day after
“Aw, man! My achin’ skull! That’s the last time I try to eat my way through a bathtub full of candy.” =)
creepy candlelight
A single candle casts a wonderfully spooky shadow on the wall. One of my very favourite occasions approaches: All Hallow’s Eve. Also known as Samhain, All Hallows (all the time) and, of course, Hallowe’en. It’s the first time since the summer months to get “in to” a feeling or mood. In this case, the spoooooky one. =) And, a damn …
