Day 269: Shroomin'

We have these crazy mushrooms growing in our yard. I thought it'd be neat to shoot them at night. So I did.

Day 268: Golf. Yeah Golf.

Adam and I went golfing today. It was my first time out since at least May, if not sooner. I did okay. Here's a golf ball.

Day 266: The Reader

Took a quick photo while I was reading for class tonight, reading tonight for class. I don't have class tonight. It's Saturday. Duh.

Day 265: Abstraction

When I wait to take a photo until really late, it's hard to find things in the house to do. So now I have to take photos that become abstract just to have stuff to photograph.

Day 262: Fall On Me

Went and saw Drive this afternoon (awesome movie; maybe my favorite of the year so far). And when I was leaving the mall, I noticed that the tops of their trees that line the parking lot were changing colors. So I pulled off really quick and snapped this.

Day 258: Forny Moggin'

It was really cold and foggy this morning. Nice, but chilly. And made for some great photos. Which are shown below. Sentence fragment.

I like the solo tree one the best, mostly because of the apples on the ground. I also really like the second one because of the blue sky creeping through the fog.

Day 257: Spider

Was messing around with my new flash again tonight, but then I took this one instead because I liked the spider's shadow (which got washed out with the flash).

Day 256: The Flash

My new flash came in the mail today, so I took a few photos to try it out. Here's one.

Also, the new Saves the Day album is pretty amazing. Check it out if you like them (or even if you don't).

Day 254: Spoil the Goldenrod, Spoil the Eddie Murphy Movie

I'll admit it right off the bat. The only reason I took any photos of goldenrods today was so I could use that title. So here's that image, followed by some random plant by the river.

Here's one that came out pretty cool. I was hanging my leg off the dock by the river taking photos of some ducks and there was a flower growing out of the concrete. It looks like the flower is sitting in front of a movie screen, but that's just my reflection in the water behind it.

Here's one of the ducks that I made black and white. Not sure how well it works in monochrome, but whatevs.

And these last two are of a flower. I was messing around with the whole move-the-zoom-while-the-shutter's-open technique. They came out kind of cool, I think.

Day 253: Tower of Power

Went for a little drive today, but it was cut short by a crazy storm that started brewing. So I decided to head home. I did manage to get one pretty decent shot though.

Day 252: So Wine-y

There's a bottle of wine that has been sitting in the bathroom at the Book Nook for a while now. I've worked there for two years, and it was already dusty when I started then. I took a photo of it today.

Day 251: Park, But Not the Way You Think

I was out and about in Pittsburgh today, mostly doing some grocery shopping/picking up some odds and ends now that I'm not completely broke anymore. I took this photo from the Target parking garage in East Liberty.

Day 250: One Big EGO (Group)

We had our first general meeting for EGO today. It stands for English Graduate Organization. I'm the historian, which basically means I'm a picture taker for the group. I took a couple of group photos today, one nice and one goofy. Here they be.

Day 249: Moon Light

Yep. Another moon shot today. I was looking through the back door window at the moon after class tonight, and thought I'd see what kind of a shot I could get through it. Since I left the kitchen light on, it was reflecting in the window too, so I got this interesting little mash-up.

I'll give a high five to anyone that can guess what today's photo is of.
