Day 195/365 - I said, I'm sorry momma, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry but tonight....

Another month and I can do a new self portrait. I had been looking around at other people's to get some ideas, I took all kinds today which I didn't post but were pretty cool, I thought this was definitely something unique for me.

I set up the tripod pointing towards the top of the closet and climbed up. The remote shutter works so great, I snapped a bunch in different poses and liked this the best...

...I'm cleanin' out my closet...

Day 194/365 - Blue, blue, my world is blue...

I stopped by the library yesterday to pick up some books on CD. I drive around a lot during the day and this way I can learn some new things or hear some great stories. I'm listening to Jon Kerkauer's Into the Wild right now, sad but true story...

I decided to take the stairs exit and entered this grand hallway, I had to come back in after grabbing the camera from the car for this shot, such a great looking hallway , great detail in the arches, just wish we had sunlight flooding in through those windows..

...Blue is my world now I'm without you.....

Day 193/365 - Put on your old brown shoes, right on your feet....

Wearing one of my favorite pairs of shoes I have, some people say they look like bowling shoes, I have those too, ha ha. But these are just a pair of comfortable shoes I picked up a few years ago.

Neat shot with a different perspective on the shoe. Used background light and normal lense on camera.

....time to move on, get away....

Day 192/365 - Saving nickels, saving dimes, working until the sun don't shine....

A little pond I've been to before on my way home from work, it's loaded with lily pads now! This is right off of a major road running through the city , you wouldn't know it though, quite serene for the busy proximity.

I like the way this shot came out with the sky light reflecting off the water, wasn't expecting the shot to work at all, I was kinda rushed.

...Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou....

Day 191/365 - And the rockets red glare.....

Cumberland fireworks were delayed until the 5th due to the nonstop rain we had been having , that day was scattered storms, so we waited until after the 4th to see them. The 20 minutes or so of blasting was capped off with a great finale. I brought the camera to snap as many pictures as I could to hopefully get some good ones..

I love the way this particular shot came out , the red, the lines, the hint of blue inside of the ball, great shot, and I don't notice the graininess in it like some of my other shots..

...the bombs bursting in air....

Day 190/365 - Swing low, sweet chariot.....

Another month another Brendon shot! This one happens to be on his 5 month old day! Wow he's getting so big already I can't believe how fast the time flies these days. Here he is so peaceful in his swing, zonked out from playing and doing baby things..

I like the shot with the bright blue background and nothing else just the boy...

...coming forth to carry me home...

Day 189/365 - Everybody's working for the weekend...

Stopped by Michelle's work with Brendon on Friday so he could visit with everyone. It was a quiet day there as a lot took an extra long weekend. I had it off so we went and visited. I love the building she works in as it is one of those old mill type buildings, it has great architectural detail with the high ceilings and exposed ductwork.

I pointed up at the ceiling and took this unique angle on things.

...Everybody's goin' off the deep end....

Day 188/365 - Stronger than yesterday....

Here sits one of my dumbbells that I do some light workouts with at night while watching the tele. It helps out with some arm strengthening and conditioning, I work that in with 75 pushups and 75 situps.

Just a closeup of the barbell, it's a little blurry as I was only using my hands to steady the camera in the low light....

...Now it's nothing but my way.

Day 187/365 - He's the greatest He's fantastic Wherever there's danger he'll be there....

Here's a shot of my gaming mouse I picked up a few years ago. One interesting thing about this mouse is that it has a removable weight cartridge on the bottom to add diffrent grams of weight, so if you want that heavy mouse for a game or you are busy with something arduous and need the light weight you have that option to...

Closeup shot , in low light, hand held, but achieved the effect I was looking for.

Day 186/365 - Cracklin rosie, get on board.....

Thought of some new ideas for taking shots, this one I pointed the camera at the parking space line next to my car, I thought it looked kind of interesting close up like this, at first glance it's hard to really realize what you are looking at. I like the crackled paint effect from the worn down stripe

Gray skies help with this shot not being washed out, in fact you can feel the grayness in the air I think.
