How are your New Years resolutions holding up? … hey, where are you going? Look, there’s no need to be embarrassed. No one ever follows through on their resolutions. One of my major ones was to take more photos – - specifically, to take a photo every day. Both to practice and improve, and to create a record of my life at this time. Well, jesus, that’s quite difficult. And ends up with me taking ridiculous photos to Fill a Quota. Do you wanna see? Do ya do ya? Of course you do. You are Nosy and Lazy. That’s why you read blogs. (Well, that’s why I read blogs. You know what? You should all post more photos. I dare you. Double dare you.)
OK, this is my iPod at my desk at work. Can’t you see how taking a photo a day has improved my photography? In an amazing plot twist and story continuation device, my iPod case (which is under the iPod) is one of the purses created by Laura, mentioned below. Coincidence? I THINK NOT. (Also, now I kind of wish I had turned the case over, because there are Pelorian kittens having a picnic on the other side.)
I really like this shot; it’s the lighting. It makes me think of Dutch paintings. I will understand if, rather than chiaroscuro, it makes you think of mad people who allow large hairy animals into their home.
This is a sunset taken from my parents’ deck when I was home. I like to go home.
OK there’s a long story associated with this photo. At one of the many malls I went to in Auckland, the food court table tops each have a map of the coastline of the North Island. There were about 80 tables, each with a different map. At one stage I said to my mum, “hey, where are we sitting?” and lifted up my noodle bowl. Underneath it was the beach where my parents have a bach and where I spent most of my childhood holidays. BELIEVE IT … or not!
