Cory's Trick


A simple shot of me cheering myself on as I play Wii tennis against myself. I've seen other people doing this sort of thing lately, so I figured it was time for me to give it a try. Hopefully it isn't breaking the rules too much...

Q's trick


I couldn't come up with much, so here's a remote shooting trick.

Taptaptap.... Is this thing on?

"Trick" due yesterday.
"$3.27" will be this week's topic.

$3.27!?!? Uhmmm.... errrrr..... Ok.

Ryan's "Blue"


Introducing Fugs, the Blue Doll Faced Persian. Sometimes his bluish tinge is apparent, but it is overpowered by electronic flash. I tried a light blue gel on the strobe, but it shifted him too close to Grover color.

/rl

Cory's Blue


For my blue, I present a close-up view of my messenger bag.

Lis thought I should have posted this shot of the sky instead though.

Saturday, January 10, 2009

"Blue" due tomorrow!

Looks like next in line is "Modern".

Sunday, January 4, 2009

Many apologies to Q!

When I posted the last poll ("Christmas"), I added a "g" to his name! I blame insane blood sugar levels - I was sitting on Mom & Dad's couch sucking down peanut butter balls and toffee.

Oops.

Cory's Foreign


I've got a busy weekend, so I'm posting my picture now so I don't forget about it. Also, I never posted a picture of my light box a few weeks ago when Ryan asked about it. Since I used it for this, I finally took one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cluening/3120289441/

Next week...

Next week: Christmas! Plus, pictures of Christmas.

"Foreign" due Sunday.

Ryan's Wild Card

Per Cory's request, I give you my left thumb. Complete with blue ink and antifreeze stains. Try to get a well focused, shallow depth of field photo of your own left thumb. It's not that easy!

Q's wildcard



My friend Melissa was in town this week, and we took a break at Yuxing's apartment.

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Both time and inspiration have failed me...

I don't think I will be entering a photo for this topic. Grrrr....

Cory's Wild Card

Toot toot! I pulled out the old trains this weekend to set up around the Christmas tree.

Q's motion



This is a variation on a picture I made a couple years ago.

Sunday, December 7, 2008

Ryan's "Motion"



I briefly thought I was going to miss the deadline - then I thought of a topic. This was quick and dirty, but might be fun to play with in the future.


/rl

Cory's Motion

A spinning top, caught as it jumps around the table. If you look closely you can see Sophie's teeth marks from when I left her alone with it.

"Motion" is due today!

Next week's topic is "Wild Card".

Three generations of city in downtown Boston.

Suggested topic for the last week of 2008 - "Best of 2008". Break from the "Weekly" portion, concentrate on the "Photography" side. Any thoughts?

Q's out of place



I myself have been out of place this weekend, visiting friends in San Francisco. But not as out of place as the guy in the lower right.

Ryan's "Out of Place"

Photographically, this leaves something to be desired. I found this wolf spider in my tent while packing it up after two nights of camping. I though it was out of place...
