Alison: Day 22 -- Nh-Nh-Nhyya!

My god daughter. She's going to be three in February and I'm stoked. She's growing up so quickly, but it's fascinating.

Anyway, she's never thrilled about hats, but this one was too funny, too furry and TOO big.

Harry: Day 20, 21, 22

I'm back everyone. This week has kindof been insane. I had two hundred thousand million things to do, and I fairly well successfully reversed my schedule back to the being awake in the day way all at the same time. Anyhoo, none of that really matters now. Tonight was "Martha Stewart Holiday Craft Gay Bingo," (It's a once a month AIDS charity fundraiser with a ridiculous theme each month. The bingo is really second to the hoot of a show that goes on.) so The first picture is of my friend Amber, the second is of one of her festive holiday crafts, and the third is a photo of my friend Matt. I don't know if it's just me or not, but I find something enjoyable about taking less than flattering photos of people. Maybe it's me being a jerk subconsciously, or maybe it's more of a challenge to make the people unflattering and have the photo still hold up. I don't know. I'll muse more about this later I'm sure.

Oz: The Return to the Land of Oz

Day 21 – Take my picture day – While at an after party at sundance this women drunkenly approaches me to take photos of her. I tell her I am a famous photographer from New York. She demands that I give her instructions on how to pose like a famous model. I am drunk too, and fumble with the controls and the framing. I tell her she is naturally beautiful, I believe this to be true. She is dissatisfied, with my photos of her, she is ugly she states. I have failed again…

Day 22 – Summer in winter day – The warehouse lets out early, so I skip across the street and photograph the windmills made of tin. They look so cool against the stark blue sky.

Day 23 – Close to the end day – Things at the fest are winding down and I am tired. I am waiting to go home to my Vermont home. Posters are everywhere screaming about the last showings before it all ends

Day 24 – The last day – The Egyptian looks so cool at night. I trip and fall on my face after meeting a film maker. They can’t all be gems. It starts to snow around 12am. I get drunk and make out with a boy who cannot dance. Mistakes are around every corner. I choose the less complicated of two evils and am subsequently disappointed.

Day 25 – Lucky Travel day – I used to love to fly, now I hate it. It seems like every trip I take lasts an eternity. Due to sleep deprivation and possibly a hangover I leave my camera at the gate in Utah, and don’t even realize until a flight attendant makes an announcement. The camera is returned to me, and out of sheer panic I photograph the gate to prove to myself how fucking lucky I am that my device didn’t get stolen.

Day 26 – Welcome home day – If feels good to be home, and we have a potluck for Jenna’s birthday with delicious cake. Joey looks like a goof, and makes a big mess, but I love him anyway.

Day 27 – fortune day – The irony of finding this fortune upon my arrival from a 6 week expedition of self discovery is not lost on me. Perhaps I am destined to be a wandering soul…

Day 28 – thermometer day – Everything is frozen and looks like jewelry.

Day 29 – snow day – The snow keeps coming. It looks beautiful. It looks like it will never stop. I secretly hope it dosent…

Alison: Day 22 and Day 23

Yesterday's shot is of a local "landmark." It's really old building in a tiny town called Eureka. My parents owned it once, for several years. We call it the barber shop because when we bought it, there were barber supplies in one part of the store. But apparently at some point it was more like a general store.

Anyway, fascinating old building. I'll have to take a full shot of it one day to show you all.

The second picture of my work computer. The first thing I got to do when I got to work today was disassemble the CPU a little bit to get all the dust out. It's strange how dusty these things get.

Anyway, I saw the intel part and thought of the commercials. =]



enjoy the weekend everyone! happy photographing!

Lily Rose Day 21: Signs & Day 22: Guys on Campus

Day 22: Guys On Campus
Jason and I both had today off, so we went to UF's campus and tried to get some inspiration. We walked around for a little while and found ourselves in the "Plaza of the Americas", taking pictures of various buildings and whatnot. Well, in this shot, I was trying to catch the guy on the skateboard, that's actually halfway out of the shot, and ended up with half of him, half of Jason and some other guy in the background. So it's a nice triangle sample of guys that can be found on and around campus...not too shabby!



Day 21: Signs
I took this shot on my way to pick up Jason. It's the corner of 34th St and 16th Ave, but I was able to get the pedestrian crossing sign in the picture too. I really like the colors in this picture; I felt that they were all pretty vivid and crisp.

Mat Ryan: January 22 (times deux!)

2 pics tonight because I skipped the 21st, as in I should have brought my camera to work, but didn't, and then got pre-occupied with a more important thing later. So, I'm using 2 pictures from tonight.
My friend Kerry lent me her tripod, so I decided to go out with her and get some time length exposures, because, well, it's night, I have a tripod, and stuff. I just like the idea of having a not blurry night shot! It's novel! Anyways, one is a hearse in an ally, I like the fact it's parked kind of below the real estate (dead housing market joke?) and there's a corner store next to it that's not actually on a corner.
The other is the Wilder Dam. It's a dam. It gives us electricity from water. I mean, in Vermont, we were green before green was cool. It's not very wild. I let some cars pass, and I like the fact that you can see a haze in the clouds from Hanover.

22nd January 2009

Do you need a new haircut!?! ; ) .. Found that "add" outside of a hairdresser in Vienna. Here you can first try how you´d look with your new haircut, before you´d make the wrong one! ; )
