Category: 365 Photo Project

Lost in the music

Commuting to work on Thursday was not a lot of fun. Hey Snow, stop it.

This is how I summon my beer.

I wanted to work on my off camera flash technique on Tuesday, so I decided to keep it simple and use a fork as my subject. Believe it or not, getting the shadows from the fork completely straight with an off camera flash was not very easy.

We had a lovely sunset this evening, this was taken over in our new hood on the West Side.

What does the number 300 and cashews have in common? Nothing.

The new apartment has these pull-string lights that I hated at first, but now that I am used to them, I rather like them. Chains make for some awesome bokeh.

On Friday night we got a bunch of friends and family together for my main man Andrew Baker’s 30th birthday. We started the night off with some Thor birthday cake, then proceeded to get rowdy throughout the little city of Providence.

Never a dull moment at The Colosseum Providence.

I own 24 pairs of underwear, all the same exact color and style. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

I was presented with the suggestion of taking a photo of myself in the shower, from the shower head’s perspective. This seemed simple enough, until I tried to execute it.

I did not factor in the steam from the warm shower, which fogged up my lens immediately. The lighting was also crap in my small bathroom. I then set up my flash remotely in the sink, pointing through the shower curtain. Using the shower curtains as a flash diffuser basically turned my shower into a big light box.

I tried toning down the temperature of the water a little bit, but it still fogged up the lens. There was no way I was taking a cold shower for this, so I opted to wipe the lens and take the shot almost immediately  I also shot this with a little more flash than usual, as I think the steam actually looks good in a high key style.

I tried to coordinate a large “Harlem Shake” YouTube video at India Point park on Sunday, but the weather forecast called for rain and snow. I moved the project to Saturday afternoon, but many people could not make the new shoot due to such short notice. I have another shoot planned for next Sunday March 3rd at 2pm at India Point Park Providence. You can find more info about that here: http://www.facebook.com/events/129812920529564/

This is one image from the few hundred we took to make the stop motion clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDuB08zqA8Y

Snapped this shot while shooting DJ Wubson at a Northern Lights event on Friday night.

Our apartment had this really ugly gold, fake wood, and wicker kinda ceiling fan. Instead of buying a new ceiling fan for a rented apartment, I decided to spray paint that sucker white and grey. I wanted to post the before and after as my 365 but I did not get a chance to take a photo of the finished product until Friday. Over all I am really happy with the results.

I put together a quick spinach and pasta casserole on Wednesday night for Baker and myself. All vegan, all delicious.

Can’t seem to break this bad habit. I managed to stop eating animals in a heartbeat, but quitting these things seems impossible.

Monday evening was the first time I cooked a full meal in the new apartment. I enjoyed the mexi-asian cuisine with good friends while drinking my cheap Yellow Tail Merlot. Some mushrooms, onions, peppers and rice for the main mail. Salsa, chips, and Edamame on the side. Here’s to many more meals in our new kitchen!

I love juicing up a Pineapple with some Apples, Carrots, and a hint of spinach.
