I had a long day of working then headed to Providence with the guys for a few beers. I almost completely forgot about my 365, but at 11:20pm I pulled out my camera and started shooting random buildings downtown. I liked this shot because of the way the lights from the building made the clouds look almost yellow.
I have been so busy lately that cooking a proper meal has become a challenge. These Amy’s frozen meals are currently one of my favorite meal replacements when I am in a hurry. The lentil soup is also in heavy rotation lately!
I have been falling behind on posting my 365’s but I have been taking them! Finding the time to edit and post them lately has been tough though. Here is a photo that really does not need much explanation.
I was not sure what to take a picture of today so I decided doing some macro work would be a good way to get my creativity flowing. This is a close up of a pine cone I accidentally took from Yosemite National Park in CA. The pine cones from the east coast and even Yellowstone can not compare in size to this huge cone.
Monday was the first day I had to pull out the sweat shirt. This usually indicates the end of Summer, which I am ok with because I love the Fall. I am however NOT looking forward to snow in the winter!
This was the final day of camping. We had just woken up, packed up the tent and where on the way to the car when I asked everyone to take one more photo with me. I set the timer, ran in to frame, and this is what we got. We where obviously tired and hung over in this shot, but it was well worth the great times with good friends.
I was lucky enough to be camping during the blue moon this weekend, unfortunately we didn’t really have a clear view of the moon from our campsite. Even though we did not have a good view of the moon itself, the blue light that was lighting up the campsite was amazing. The amber color from the fire and the super blue sky made for a very colorful shot.
I used the tent as some sort of light diffuser for the fire so I could shoot at a longer shutter speed without blowing out the fire light.
On Friday, Andrew, Nate, Dennis, and myself, drove out to Mashamoquet Brook State Park in Connecticut for a weekend of camping. I really needed a weekend away from technology so I did my best to make my camera the only tech I used. I did turn on my phone for music and a flashlight at one point but I stayed in Airplane mode and did not use the interwebs. Spending time in the woods in the company of great friends, some booze, some food, and the blue moon was exactly what I needed to reboot myself.
Here is a picture from day one, nothing amazing technically, but the photos over the next few days document a great weekend with good people.
I went camping for the weekend so there was a delay on me posting up my 365 photos. They have all been taken and will be posted over the next few days.
On Thursday night DJ 11:11 aka Jason Pond and myself DJ’ed at Local 121. It was a super fun night so I figured a shot from the night would make a good 365. This is a photo of DJ 11:11 taken at 11:11pm.
I have a closet full of old tech that I will never use again, but for some reason hang on to “just in case”. Here is an old motherboard. I shot in Black and White as if this where some old long lost photo of some long forgotten tech.
On the way back from watching a movie with my buddy Baker we noticed how awesome the clouds in the sky looked. We pulled over but the view just wasn’t as good as it was from the highway. We then hopped back on the highway and I attempted to take the shot from the car. We then saw the moon pop up right about the awesome cloud formation. It’s quite hard to get a nice open sky / landscape shot in the city, so the highway was the next best thing.
I spent the day meeting with clients and setting up photoshoots. Here are some of the tools of the day, obviously the camera is missing because it is in my hand!
So my seasonal allergies are kicking my ass. This is how I felt on Sunday. Fuzzy. I am purposely out of focus to kind portray how I feel when I am all stuffed up – un-focused.
Saturday’s almost always include DGAF. This is by far one of my favorite events to shoot. There are so many fun, loving people that come here every week that make my job super enjoyable. This week was Glover’s Paradise, it was a gathering of glover’s to showcase their skills and to participate in a competition. At one point I looked over and saw Brian getting a light show from at least 4 glover’s at the same time and had to make this my 365.
Friday night’s I almost always end up in Providence to eat, and have a drink or two. I love this city to bits and can not wait to move back. This is a multi-bracketed, manually HDR shot. Nothing to amazing here but it’s usually the area of Providence we start in before heading downtown.
Thursday’s usually consist of working harder than any other day. Maybe because I am gearing up for a short Friday and a stress free weekend by getting as much done as possible, I’m not exactly sure why, but anyway.
I have been meaning to take a cool photo of my computer mouse since I use my mouse quite a bit, probably something scary like 30% of each day. I figure I might as well pay a tribute to this simple piece of gear. As I framed up some shots and figured out some lighting, I realized I could make this a bit cooler with some long exposure tricks. I lit the scene with one off camera flash to the left of the camera. There where no other lights on in the room as I needed complete darkness to capture the light trails created by the laser on the mouse pad. I decided a good exposure length would be 108 seconds, since this is day 108 of the project. I think I want to turn this in to some type of series with super long shots, as in 3-4 hours at a time.
Wednesday’s are my mothers day off so she babysits my awesome nephew, William. I was planning on taking a photo of him but ended up spending the day working in Providence, RI. Wednesday nights usually involve grabbing one or two beers with close friends to discuss life, how our week is going, and what we are doing the upcoming weekend. Yes, beer was a previous 365, but here is another one from a different location and a different beer!
There is nothing set in stone for Tuesday’s. This Tuesday I photographed NextHype Providence’s Filth Fest at Fete. It was awesome to shoot in a new venue, a beautiful one at that. This Praying Mantis was hanging out outside the venue and I had to try my best to take a photo of it. Low light, but I did my best with my flash.
Here is a quick annimation made from a few photos taken this evening at Fete for NextHype’s Filth Fest
For the remainder of this week my 365 photos will be of what typically happens to me on those days. Monday’s is Karaoke at The Hot Club. Even though I do not sing, I enjoy the people watching and hanging out with some of the best cats in Providence. This crazy fella you see here is Jimmy Ray, although I can not remember what it was he was singing.
