photos are done...

1 day
2 rolls
72 exposures
30 finished photos...

I learned something about my photo "work flow"... it's way slow compared to pure digital.

This is the start of my typical weekday. Off to the shower. Almost every morning I have to hunt for myshoes.

All dressed (no, not my underwear.. yet) I head downstairs. I don't normally open the fridge, but today I made an exception.

When you get up that early unless it's summer around here it's rather dark. That was a really long exposure that makes it look kinda light out, but don't let that fool you. This shot of the car with the door open and the garage light on.

I went to work as usual I got there before 6:00. It's early so maybe I need to read a little.

That particular day the sun rose at 7:18am local time. From the third floor of my building it looked like this. After that i headed to breakfast and I cross this little bridge from building to building and this shows that it was raining (the weather). I got my breakfast and came back.

As the sun comes up you can see the last bits of autumn out the same window. Leaves of various tones here and here.

It was taco salad day. (That has to do for my "dinner" shot as dinner well was left overs and didn't look too good.)

After that I brushed my teeth, which I always do after eating. I'm sure you know why.

Bill is my favorite service person. He our UX designer. He draws stuff for our team. You can see in the photo that he's from New York and they lost to Boston.

Heading for home I had to pick up some of the around the house shots. This is my desk. No I didn't clean it for the shot.

Large is relative, right? I found these "large" rocks in my office...

I don't normally photo my underwear... It's not my thing at all, ya know. And all my underwear is the same so I don't have a favorite. I mean I grab them in the dark and there is no slection process so enough babbling about it here it is.

Under the bed is kinda boring because it's our dresser.

I went outside because I was headed to the store. The eastern sky looked like this. It was about sunset. I think thats my favorite shot for the whole day. While out there I turned over a rock and found a pill bug. It's circled in red. I didn't mess with it to make it roll up because as a nature photographer it's important not to mess with bugs when you take their picture. OK so moving the rock pissed him off and likey the worm too, but hey thats life, it's my retaining wall.

This is one of my favorite rooms in the house.
As you can see we really value books. Books, Books and More Books.

The room isn't just about reading. There is also craziness and mayem happening all the time.

I stayed up later than usual that day, and I tried to take a photo of Tammy having carrot cake. We didn't have any asparagus and she doesn't like peas.

The end of my day looked just like this....

I learned a lot doing this. It was a long day and the hours of work that went into editing them. Thanks to Michelle at work for keeping asking me when they were going to be done. Thanks to Bill too for taking the macro shot of my teeth, I couldn't have done that myself.

Fantastic Work JR!!!! I'm so impressed not only by your photographic abilities, but the way you were able to weave all of the bizarre requests into a cohesive thread! My favorite picture by far is the underwear :)

(Leila of Leila and Ted... of the ones in Boston that ate Indian with you, Gina and David... when you all were in town for someone else's wedding)

p.s. how do you know it was a pill bug and not a sow bug, if you don't find out if it curls up or not??

Leila,

I remember who you are. I also saw you at Dave & Gina's wedding. We had Max & Sam claimed over 7 years ago so I think we can call 'prior art'.

I didn't want to disturb the bug and I don't know which kind it was now.

Thanks for reading/commenting! :-)

JR
