Alison: Day 17 -- My kids.

these are my kids. I love these girls and this is where they sleep every night -- right next to my side of the bed.

Such good girls.

Alison: Day 17 -- anatomy of the dead.

Went to a picnic and found this guy on the steps headed out to the dock. He's totally dead. Appears his head was crushed. This is how I found him. As gruesome as this may seem, I really should have taken a picture of his bulging eye and blood-crusted mouth I discovered upon flipping him over. Weeee!

Harry: Day 16, 17

So I totally spaced Friday night on posting. I recently remember now one of the first assignments we had in my first color photography class. Go and take photos of black and white things in color. I really can't quite remember what the purpose of the activity was, but I might give it a shot again. These two are of the brick exterior wall of my apartment.

Jason: Day 13, 14, 15,16, 17, 18

I have been a bum lately. Here are the pictures I have taken on the specified days.

Day 13
I have seen this pile of parts for many days now and decided to take a photo. It is very out of the ordinary and catches my eye every day. It is on the sidewalk on the east side of 34th Street here in Gainesville.

Day 14
I took this photo on a rainy day while I was waiting for Lily Rose to come pick me up from work. I like how you can clearly tell that there is a great distance between the trees in the foreground and the trees in the background.

Day 15: "Why Is Everything Wet?"
This bathroom, located at Shands, is always this wet on the counters. It's the most notorious one that I know of at Shands. I took the photo when it made me think of the Dane Cook joke about everything being so wet in public restrooms.

Day 16: "STOP ...And Think"
I took this photo at first to see what the stickers on the stop sign said, but I couldn't figure it out until just now. I did some basic equalizing and desaturated the photo for dramatic effect.

Day 17
I took this photo late on the 31st. I saw the moon and whatever planet that was supposed to be lined up this way and thought it made for a good photo. The shot was a bit shaky, but I think it turned out great. I did some brightness/contrast adjusting and desaturated the picture for the final effect.

Day 18: David Archuleta
I got off work around 2pm and Lily Rose wanted to go see David Archuleta, who was playing at a local restaurant. It was packed by the time we got there, so no way to get a good shot. Unless I climbed up that tree... lol. Anyway, my apologies for the blurriness, but this is the best I could do.

Oz: Sun Dance Party

I have left LA and begun my trek east. I am currently in park city utah participating in the sundance film festival. I have seen cool movies and met cool people. With so much to see and do, its hard to get out and get some cool pics, but here is what I have come up with...

Day14 – Arrival Day – I arrive in park City and it is beautiful. Get all situated with Sundance and get a really nice condo for the festival. I explore with my roommate and his friends. Meet some cool people, its going to be a good two weeks.

Day15 – Warehaus Day - A stack of New York Times in front of the warehouse that I have to deliver as part of my job. I usually arrive about 15 minutes before the rest of the crew, perfect time to take photos before the sun comes up.

Day 16 – Delivery Day – Make more deliveries, go to an advanced screening of a documentary, enjoy the mountain air. People keep stealing the pallet jack from the warehouse, so we brand it.

Day 17 – World Premiere day – I see two world premieres in one day, here is a photo from the audience, you can pretend like you are here.

Day 18 – Hungover day – too much to drink at the bar = miserable day. After work I take photos while I am waiting for the bus. Here are the instructions for a propane heater.

Day 19 – Shot tree day – Walking to lunch I discovered a grove of shoes. I got so caught up I was late to work. There must have been hundreds of shoes in these trees and no explanation. I wanna go back at sunset…

Day 20 – Latin Lover day – Ran into the Spanish actor again, I didn’t know he was also in the devils backbone…flirted…again, saw some movies, took this photo walking down main street, the blue lights seemed cool.

Alison: Day 16, Day 17, Day 18

Well . . . I took a mini-hiatus not because I didn't want to be here, but because over the weekend, I literally never sat down at a computer. It was a long and exceedingly exhausting weekend -- one I both enjoyed and cursed.

But I did take some pictures, and so, here they are:

Day 16: Kelly's Camp.


This is a hunt/fishing camp about six miles or more from my house in the Ocala National Forest.

I've driven by it literally almost every day of my life. The camp has sort of a down-home American country feel to it that's always appealed to me. And that's just what I aimed to portray.

Day 17: Voluntary Fire Fighters.

In the small, rural area I live in, our emergency fire crews are 100% voluntary. On my way home they were doing an apparent run through of all the sirens and lights.

This is one of the fire engines stationed near my house. My primary goal with this one was to capture the po'dunk, country-ness of the fire station. I ended up more photographing the truck than the station itself, but I think the truck says enough that we don't even need to see the station to understand this is no NYC fire department.

Day 18: Siblings.

This is obviously a snapshot, but I can do no better for yesterday. And actually, this was taken around 2 A.M. yesterday. So this one might kind of be cheating. oh well. It's the best I can do for yesterday.

The people pictured are Susan and Jeff, my sister and brother, myself (allergy-riddled), and Jorge, my brother's best friend and our unofficially adopted brother.

Mat Ryan: 17 January (-15 degrees Farenheit)

It was a really cold morning. There's a bridge that I cross every day from Vermont into New Hampshire over the Connecticut river and since it was 15 below zero, I tried to take a picture of the sublimation off of the river since the river moves to fast to freeze, then noticed that the railing was just really cool looking. So I took a picture of that as well, unfortunately the focal point was really wierd so I posterized it and smoothed the fuzzyness. I like it, it's a little wierd, but I'll include the picture I intended to take as well.

17th January 2009

BEWARE of the Birthsday-cake! ; )
Yesterday we celebrated the Birthday of that "young man" on the photo. "Wiesi" turns 23 today and as you can see - he´s still a little boy, who ´s playing with his food!
