Day 163: Ditto

More shots similar to yesterday's of the empty Philadelphia St. in downtown Indiana. The first is a darker exposure that I took to use as an HDR image, but I liked the darkness of it that I just kept it as is. The second is an HDR image that I converted into a sepia tone in Aperture. Hope you lieeek.

Day 162: When You're Alone and Life is Making You Lonely...

...you can always go, DOWNtown. They closed off part of Philly St. today (specifically the part in front of our store, which made for quite a boring day). But the benefit of being bored out of my mind at work meant being able to walk in the middle of the street and get some interesting shots that I couldn't have otherwise. Like this...

After I took these, I walked the long way around the block back to my car and found this neat little alley/walk/between-building way. This is an HDR composited image.

I think the street is going to be closed again tomorrow, so maybe I'll get some more shots of downtown after work tomorrow. We'll see. See. Ya.

Day 161: Going Blind

Quick post today. Sorry for that. Sleepy, with work in the a.m. Deal with it. I am. Enjoy the photos.

Day 160: Oh, What a Tangled Mess We Leave

Adam and I have been podcasting for what seems like non-stop all week this week, trying to stay on top of E3 coverage. Rather than put everything away every night, we've just been leaving the mics and cables and etc. and stuff strewn about the living room. I liked how it looked. These photos I took(ed).

Day 159: Shoop, Shoobay Doop, Shoobay Doobay Doobay Doop

Here I go, here I go, here I go. Well, here I went. To Tres Amigos for dinner. Where I shot the salt and pepper shakers on our table. And here they are. Good night.

Day 158: Pan, Meet Cake

Made some tasty raspberry/strawberry pancakes (vegan, of course) for dinner tonight with a side of fake bacon (fakon?). It was quite, quite delicious. Here is a photo of my dinner, pre-devouring.

Day 157: Mow, Mow, Mow Your.... Boat?

Today I've been watching E3 live streams all day with Adam for www.gamejournal.tv (go there, sign up, make friends, enjoy), so I'm feeling pretty fried right now. I decided to go out and take photos of our lawn mower (mostly because of its proximity to our house). Here they are (and actually... they aren't that bad!).

Back to more E3. At least it's time for Sony (which is the only one I really want to watch for personal reasons; the rest are cool for what they are too though). Go to www.gamejournal.tv for more game related updates (yeah, cheap ploy; I know).
