Days 9-14

Ok, so I have been slipping up seriously lately. I didn't shoot anything for Day 9, 11 or 13! Bad, right? But I do have photos for:
Day 10:


A co-worker received flowers for her birthday.

Day 12:


Another snack-time closeup.

and Day 14 (today):


A common office item seen a bit differently.

So now I'm caught up. YAY!

Day 8

Thought I'd try to get a nice winter shot with the new snow looking so pretty.

Days 6 & 7

I did take pictures yesterday, I really did! But it was 11:30 at night. I was struggling to come up with something interesting. I read on someone's blog that when you're at a loss, shoot shoes. So that's what I did. Here are my sneakers:


Today I decided that Max deserved an appearance here since Merlin was already featured. So here's a photo of my Max. The lighting was kinda cool in this one:

Day 5

Happy Valentine's Day! No, didn't take pictures of hearts or candy. I'm not sure the following photo is all that great... But I couldn't find anything else. Guess I'm not all that inspired tonight. Here's a shrub outside my back door.

Day 4

Took a bunch of pictures of my cats today. I read that portraits are best when the eye is in perfect focus, whether the rest of the face is or not. So true. My 50mm has such a narrow depth of field that when taking photos of cats, if the eye is in focus, the nose is not and vice versa. Definitely better when it's the eye in focus. Gives it a sparkle. Here's my Merlin. He's an orange tabby. Thought the mood was better in black and white...

Day 3

Ok, so it's really Day 4, but I didn't get in til 2 am this morning. I'll just post yesterday's pic now and repost later today with the Day 4 photo.

There's a jewelry store on the first floor of my office building and I wandered around shooting random sparkly things. Here's the top choice:

Day 2

Today was tough. Didn't take any pictures during the day. When I got home, I pulled out my camera and played with my food...
