Week 35

Spooky we both chose people for this weeks posting, and ended up in black and white!

L - I had to take some shots of my (nearly) niece and nephews for some family project they were working on. It rapidly descended into chaos with lots of silly shots. Good fun.

R - after spending a whole day up on the rooftop enjoying the holiday weekend and missing so many photos opportunities because I forgot my camera, I snapped this inside and went for an over processed black and white look. I really like the way you can see the outline of Niall's hand. Oh yes, meet Niall, the first person to feature in side by side!

Week 34

L - Well, I got myself a new bike this weekend and I spent most of my time this weekend either looking for it or riding it!! Therefore an apt shot of bicycle spokes was only right.

R - We went up the funicular railway up the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland which have had snow every month for the last 9 months! The funicular operator called this season "the big dig" because they spent most of the winter digging out the funicular tracks and the car park. Was weird to see so much snow in the middle of May. Seeing the tracks got me thinking about how all the snow must be melting from the bottom into the mountain and then down, the turn tracks were still so clear.

Week 33

L - We don't get the same lovely autumn foliage that I am used to from home, this yellowy colour is as good it gets in most areas. These leaves were just as they fell on the ground.

R - On a trip home for my friend's wedding I did a wee tour of Scotland and got this photo. It's not a joke, there really is a place called Lost

Week 32

L - Well I have been sick for the last couple of days and apart from a trip to Ikea I have not been doing much at all. I caught Missy enjoying the sunshine, so here it is.

R - We went to Kings Dominion for Cesar's Birthday, it was fun, it was scary, we got battered and bruised by all the roller coaster riding. The old wooden ones were just as scary as the new GIGA-coaster The Intimidator 305. A fun day was had by all and my 93mph hair after The Intimidator 305, had all kinds of volume!

Week 31

L - The best of a bad bunch from my day of capturing water droplets...! The result was about 3 half decent photos and a LOT of water everywhere.

R - This is the view from the rooftop of my building looking east down H St towards downtown DC. You can also see the Washington Monument to the top left of the photo. I've wanted to take this for a while to give it as a gift to a friend so now that I've got a tripod I was finally able to capture it. Not super happy with it but it's a good intro into some long exposures. I'd like a few more cars for light trails, but it just wasn't happening.

Week 30

L - Japan Travel Diary: I started to put together my travel diary probably more a scrapbook when I was away but didn't finish it off. I carried where I left off this weekend.

R - Creepy Face: C found this old plaster cast of his face at his parents place. It that was used to make a mask for a play, it's creepy but so cool!

Week 29

L - A view of Tokyo at night from the Government Building. Didn't have the right camera gear to take a good pic but I improvised and got an ok shot.

R - Macy's had a one day sale (pretty much a weekly event) so I got a waffle iron. I've wanted one forever but always thought it would end up collecting dust but my friend Ryan said I'd use it so here goes....Peanut butter and Jelly flavour! yummers they were amazing, I'm very happy and will waffle every weekend!
