Nearly....there....got a bit bored [irritated?] with it about half way through but have persevered [as I tend to do] and glad that I did... Day 28 - Good thing these are [earth]ed....how's that for a stretch on word play!  This is a contemporary chandelier in a cafe we had lunch at yesterday.  It is a bunch of antique [replica?] glass light fixture covers all grouped together, such a cool idea.  Did a bit of heavy colour editing on this so the different tones came out in the lights, the … [Read more...]

Humm, playing a bit of catchup, company keeps us busy!  First up, 30 Days in Pictures...this is what I have left on the list: Furry/Earth/Water/Tree/Lunch/Morning/Borrowed/Family/Friends ...and this is what the past few days have looked like...

We have moved alot in the past few years, family, friend's apartments, house-sits, countries, blah, blah blah.  This most recent place saw us finally move everything out of storage, and we have been slowly getting everything from RJ's mum's house too - there have been many trips to Vinnies to say the least.  This computer is one of … [Read more...]

I [hate] the colour of the kitchen bench in this apartment.  I had to get that category out of the way [my own fault for adding it in the first place] at some point and well, yucky yellow gets my wrath today.  Food photography is a horror on this thing without elaborate staging that I have no time, or props, for right now.

Still new enough to be [new].  Even caught a bit of a grin to boot.  Was a doll for us today and let the ladies natter on for quite a while - hope his mum and dad get a good night tonight too. Bonus round - OMG look at that pouty lip!! See all 30 days posts here… … [Read more...]
