This was the beginning of my dinner outing to Hog's Breath (Milton, just let me add) with Ben. So the order has been taken, we've got drinks and are just happily chatting and waiting for our food. The picture wasn't this rosey an hour and a half later when we discover from the manager that the waiter you can just see in the background here forgot to put in out order (obviously in the photo he is entering someone else's into the computer!!!!!) So with the promise of meals on the house and at our table in 10-15 minutes we agree to stay (since we are STARVING). A whole 2 hours after we ordered we received very sad looking steaks and obviously the reminance of the curly fry bowl (since it is now 10pm and they are starting to clean up). Very disappointing, thanks a lot Hog's Breath, I was willing to give you another go but this proves it, you and me are history.
Quite obscure and random I know but it was this or a photo of my bed, because that's what I was grateful for today. I actually got to bed by 9:30pm an all time record for me (Rachel you'll be proud). So instead this symbolises my closed door ready for bed. I like the quaint old fashioned handles in my house with the old school lock. Wish I had a key!
I see a little series starting here amongst the other 365 project photos! Taken in a similar setting to my 018: 'self take' the other night with the headphones and the amp, tonight I've finally got a shot of my wonderful boyfriend Ben doing one of his favourite things: jamming on his guitar. Out of a few more shots I took tonight this one was my chosen for the angle and black and white just seemed to suit like the other night.
An exciting and slightly wacky piece of wall art I found when out sampling the Grill'd burger bar at Chermside for dinner. Now my flat mate tells me one is opening up around the corner from our house. How exciting, but this could be dangerous.
I wasn't terribly excited about getting my camera out tonight, as yet again I find myself at home, late, with no idea what to shoot. Sitting down at my desk to get on with some design work I noticed how nicely the light spilled across the table top. Plus my desk is actually quite neat at the moment (ok ok in a sort of organised chaos sort of state) and I liked what the scattered objects symbolise. Everything that is involved in my design work is here, my pencils, paper, text books, inspiring books, posters, pantone swatch book, computer the list goes on. So after all that I quite like how my desk has come up in today's photo. Bring on 028!
Well it's here. My favourite public holiday of the year. That's right, Australia Day. Happy Oz Day to everyone! All I wanted to capture today was the Aussie spirit. Ok the flag is not very original, but the deck with the big green shed and the hillshoist in the background are all symbolic. Plus it was either this or a photo of my stereo tuned into triple J! Haha bring on the Hottest 100.
Today was dedicated to getting some washing done and despite waking to the pouring rain (actually quite a nice sound to wake up to) I was determined to get it done. Luckily for me the day cleared up into a bright and rather hot day. Now late in the afternoon I thought it suitable to shoot some photos of our old hillshoist (a subject I've been dying to get some decent shots of, although I'd been unsuccessful until now). I realise you can't see any laundry on the line, I promise it is there though, just on the other side. Sorry I wasn't so keen to expose my underwear to the world. Instead I choose to focus on the pegs and the line. This is probably one of my fav pics to date. I think because it was well challenging me.
This photo is almost a two in one deal (and I even had another good one from today which made it really difficult to choose for 365, sorry, not the point)! I was a bit excited when I got my camera to capture the moving taxi in the street here. And I love the fading afternoon sunlight highlighting the corner of the mirror and the cars on the other side of the road. It was interesting playing around with the mirror in a photo to capture what is both in front of you and behind. I like it, it feels kind of sneaky.
This was probably one of my most spontaneous shots so far. I'm trying to get the hang of carrying my camera everywhere and snapping anything that crosses my path throughout the day that is possible 365 material. Anyway I was just heading to the bus after a spot of late night shopping and was delighted to see a warm purpley pinky sky upon exiting the shopping centre. It is only accentuated by the tones and lights of city hall. It's just a shame that modern (slightly ugly building is in the background)!
This was really a sitting, waiting, oh - photo opportunity! drive, kinda shot. I was keen to capture the traffic light colours shining bright late at night and I was pretty happy with the way this one came out. I like all the different light sources lighting up the night, Traffic lights, red and green plus the fuzzy glow of the streetlight too.
Oh no! Kermit has been made captive in our kitchen! Maybe he'll do the dishes while he's there. Just a fun one today, had a few laughs setting it up.
This evening I sought inspiration from objects scattered around my bedroom. This old antique flip clock that was a gift from my brother a number of Christmas' ago. I'm hopeless at finding the treasures in the op shops so lucky I have all these people around me that are talented in this department (you know who you are). I experimented with my lamp as a light source to achieve a very soft and warm glow.
So I made it to Bookfest yesterday, a rather exciting trip that saw my friend Anna and myself trawling through bargains galore for much longer than we'd anticipated. Now while I've come nowhere near close to the staggering 57 books that my friend Alarna (of Little Jane St) purchased I did find myself a couple of lovely old arty/crafty books for a bit of creative inspiration. Both books have the delicious smell of my childhood favourites and will hopefully inspire much greatness in future designs. The book on the left is from the Thelwell series, containing many lovely illustrations and clever quips while the book on the right promises to teach me poster design from lettering and basic design, right through to the use of colour. However it's the pictures here that caught my eye, because while the book dates back to the 1960's I still see great layout and typography. So now I must apologise as today's photo was really not about the photography but the story I was just bursting to share about my book finds.
I'm sure everyone is wondering how I can post a photo of myself as a part of the 365 project, where I'm supposed to be taking the photos?! Well, with the timer set and a bit of fiddling to get the camera positioned correctly I managed to be both the subject and the photographer! Trust me I'd have avoided it at all costs but I left my photo a little late today and didn't have a whole lot to work with. I haven't experimented much yet with taking photos that include people. Despite being a little embarrassed about posting a photo of myself, this was quite fun and not a bad place to start, I can't wait to try and get some more people shots.
I decided today's theme should be wide open spaces since I was taking a trip out to Beaudesert to visit Holly in her brand spanking new hair salon. So I thought I'd take advantage of some pretty scenery on the way home. My favourite thing about this photo is the way it's captured the movement in the grass blowing in the breeze and the sun glistening on the lens!
