299: The office

Haha have been watching lots of episodes of the American 'The Office' recently. Makes me laugh :) So I had a giggle when I had to take some photos around my office today. The only thing missing is Michael Scott.

298: Late afternoon

A quieter day today, with much more mundane things like cleaning the bathroom and doing the laundry. But low and behold great photos can be found anywhere. As I was bringing my washing in late this afternoon I noticed how great this view, in paticular at this time of day, would look through the lens of my camera. So I ran inside and grabbed it and here's the result!

297: In the wild wild west

I had a fantastic day out today with Ben at Movie World on the Gold Coast. Lots of rides, lots of shops, shows, food and fun. While I've never been a rollercoaster person - I just wasn't brave enough! I bit the bullet and alongside Benny braved the Superman ride and the Leathal Weapon! Kinda cool.

The Wild Wild West here was one of my favourites though, water rides always have been. Plus on this one you get mega saturated (as you can see) and on such a hot day this was perfect for a cool down.

296: Mr square head

A funny looking graffiti man crossed paths with me while I was walking to the bus this afternoon. Simple but cute, Mr Sqaure head caught my eye, my camera and my heart. The white fill complements the other colours in this palette perfectly. Not too bright or harsh on the eye (like some graffiti), warmed just enough in the afternoon light.

295: My heart is beating like a bongo drum

Mmm a really great handmade drum found it's way under my lens this evening. Belonging to my musical bud Liam, we had some fun making silly drum beats and pulling African dance moves. I love the detail the camera has picked up in the skin and the colours of the rope holding it down around the rim.

294: Lola

Some product photography today! My beautiful boyfriend has spoilt me with the new Marc Jacobs scent Lola, I've been lusting after it since having the promo card thrust into my hand in Selfridges in England. Perfume bottles are always so creatively designed, this one is no exception. A lovely subject.

293: Glowing sky

Walking through West End this evening I was stoked to witness such a beautiful suburban sunset and have my camera on hand to get a picture. What marvelous colours! Such warmth. Summer is definitely here folks!

292: On the menu

This evening's dinner is cooking up nicely in the pan. Aparagus and dill omlette with sautéed mushrooms and spinach in between. Yum.

Sometimes I feel I take too many photos of my food. Although I do love food and I think about it alot, and since another random goal of mine is to put together a recipe book one day, I figure this is great practice at getting some good looking food pics.

291: Colour and light

Reminance of the party, but I just had to stop mid clean up and snap up some of this gorgeous light spilling through the green bottle and onto the wall.

290: Party games

Beer pong, great party game, great photo opportunity! As the boys got ping ponging, I got snapping.

289: A night at the gallery

Found myself heading to Nine Lives gallery again this evening to check out some awesome New York photography by Dane Beesley. After watching an amusing episode involving 6 guys trying to get a vintage dresser through the 2nd floor window of the gallery (successfully I might add) we climbed the stairs (the more customary option) and had a good look around. This little old chair in the corner caught my eye and looked great against the stark white walls with someone's shadow cast aross it.

288: Playing with sparklers

This post was lots of fun. I popped by the supermarket on the way home and bought a couple of packs of sparklers. Then with the help of my flat mate, a tripod, the night light (or lack thereof) I was able to capture this rather cool shot. We had to do a few practice takes to get settings, timing and handwriting correct but it's ended up producing a great photograph to represent the 365 project!

287: Empty coat hanger on door knob

The title pretty much says it all tonight folks. I promise you more tomorrow!

286: Pacman ghost

Eeeeeek there's a pacman style gost in my bedroom!!! Quick snap him up. With my camera of course :)

285: Special delivery

When I noticed Frankie was selling their first ever 'photo album' I couldn't resist diving in with my card and treating myself. Much to my excitement and not too many sleeps later, I was delighted to find this gorgeous book in my letter box. Mmmm, pages of inspiring and pretty photographs from around the world in a very delicious Frankie style. Maybe one day one of my photos will be in a future edition!
