Day 127 (7/5/2013)

It was my wife's birthday, so I arranged to finish work about 30 mins early. At 5:30pm I was out the door and 10 minutes later I was at the train station. As soon as I got there I found my train (or so I thought) waiting for me at the platform; how lucky was I??? Unbeknownst to me this train was running express, bypassing my station and several stations after. It took me an hour to get back to my station.

Instead of being 30 mins earlier than usual, I was 30 mins late!

Came across this on a walk back from a meeting today.

Flat out at work at the moment. We're two weeks out from a site move which I've been planning for about 6 months.

Had about 30 seconds today to get a shot. This is the best I could do.

My impulse buy of a bokeh kit arrived in the mail today. Tried a few variations but I think the star works the best.

We had our nephews stay with us for the weekend. This is 4 year old Simo. He has the most amazing blue eyes and I couldn't resist emphasizing them by de-saturating the rest of the shot.

Took the kids for a walk this afternoon. We came across a front lawn which was 'littered' with toys, statues and numerous other objects. I believe the intention was to make the front lawn look like wonderland and my son wanted to explore it a little more. All I could think about was Hansel and Gretel heading into the gingerbread house, and almost eaten!

Needless to say we had a very lengthy conversation on 'stranger danger' soon afterward.

On my way home from work, I came across this rainbow. In fact it was a complete 180 degree arc which I just had to capture. By the time I had my camera out of my backpack though, it had dwindled to only one side visible.

I went for my usual lunchtime stroll and thought I'd go through the Royal Arcade which I haven't been in for years.

Every image is just one really interesting creative exercise after another....really nice work all around. I'll have to go back in the thread a bit more to see what I missed.

I've been so busy with work lately, and the impending office relocation that I haven't had time to really switch off. I've found I'm coming home more and more stressed each day.

This is a photo of me staring out of my current office window and taking a much needed breath!


One week to go.

Day 137

We've been trying to reduce our son's afternoon sleep as he has been waking up in the middle of the night. He didn't have a sleep all day, so he ended up passing out on the couch about two hours earlier than his bed time.

My wife's belated mother's day present arrived today. I didn't know what to get her so I arranged two photos to be printed onto canvas an mounted. This is the first time I have had any of my photos mounted on a wall. I like seeing them printed and not on a screen. I may have to do a few more.

I spent several hours trying to get this to work. Unfortunately, many tears later, this is the best I could do.

This is an alleyway near my new offices. It is always being photographed by tourists, posing and the like, but I managed to get it when most civilized people are still in bed!

Day 142

This is a shot as I was leaving the new offices for the evening. I wanted to get a shot of the street lights but as I was shooting through a window and kept getting the reflection of the opposite side of the street.

In the end I didn't mind the reflection.
