Day 209/365 - Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape....

A made shot today, I love this little Planet of the Apes character sitting on my desk, I'd like the rest of them in the collection as well, anybody ? I don't like Dr. Zaius at all but the figure is pretty cool...

I set this up with a brown paper background and a pendulum light off to the left side (obviously). I like the way the shot came out and may try more backgrounds with other figures after this one.

....You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!......

Day 208/365 - groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon....

Was dropping off my Audio CDs at the library and was closing the car door when I saw this older gentleman across the lot just reading his paper or whatnot. I thought that would make for a neat picture. I don't this person, I did my spy techniques and snapped a few shots....

I don't know what's going on in the picture behind this man, but the camera made it all wavy and funky looking, hmmm....

....I can't imagine anything that's better....

Day 207/365 - All you have to is tap it in....

One of the exits off the highway coming back into RI I needed gas and found this golf course along the way. A gray day a little rain and noone on the course, set up for a nice picture.

I like the great greens in this shot and the backward 18th hole flag made for a cooler shot then from the front side....

.....Just tap it in. Just tap it in......

Day 206/365 - There's smoething weird in the fridge today. I don't know what it is...

Another quiet day, and why not see what is in the fridge today, we had just gone grocery shopping the day before so it was well stocked. Front and almost center is my Orange Tangerine Lifewater, these are quite tasty, although a bit too much sugar I think.

Closeup shot in the fridn't, avoided the fridge door open shot frame which actually may have looked out if I cropped things, light from the fridge was enough...

...And living in the fridge....

Day 205/365 - If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.....

A really quiet day didn't go out anywhere besides grocery shopping. Michelle put a dry rub on this and we let it chill in the fridge all day and then I cooked it up on the grill , tasty! I had put some garlic, paprika, onion, cilantro, and cayenne pepper into the mix with this.

Boring shot, closeup of a hunking piece of pork ribs...

....how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!"

Day 204/365 - Money, Money, Money, must be funny...

Thought I'd take a closeup of the change I was counting the other day, it was an immense pile on the floor and my mind said, photo op! There was a good chunk of change to buy myself something nice with once I get it wrapped or dumped off at the bank.

Took the camera down low to the pile and used the sunlight from behind to get the lighting. A bit hazy from the sun, but I wanted it to be a bit less focused seems more surreal that way.

...in the rich man's world....

Day 203/365 - I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known...

Wanted to try some night shots so I drove out to the monastery last week to try some shots on the tripod and see what I could get. This is taken at the end of the entrance road to the library in Cumberland.

I like the shot a little, you can see because the shutter stayed open longer the red streak from a car that past as the picture was being shot. It came out a bit blurry for being on the tripod but it's kind of a neat shot. The light in the foreground is from my car's headlights. When I shut them off it was too dark to expose anything...

...Don't know where it goes but it's home to me, and I walk alone.....

Day 202/365 - I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda....

Nothing today, I tried to take the 3 ghosts from the Empire Strikes back and do something different with the background. It didn't quite come out how I had hoped. It's a neat idea yet it wasn't completed the way I would have liked. I do like the effect created from the backlit monitor creating the shadowy silhouette look.

...I saw the little runt sitting there on a log, I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said Yoda.....

Day 201/365 - Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smilin' at everybody she sees Who's reachin' out to capture a moment....

You wouldn't expect to find to many windmills in the United States and then particularly one as part of a store, the Christmas Tree shops. Yet this is part of the building on the way to the cape with a "working" windmill. It spins, not sure if it's electric or actually windpowered but it's quite impressive.

I walked up rather close and got this shot with the bright blue sky in the background. Love the detail of the shingles and the blade of the fan coming into view...

...everyone knows its Windy...

Day 200/365 - Feel the rhythm with your hands....

This is a little metal dog I picked up in Jackson, NH last year for Michelle, I thought it was cute and the fact that it is made out of spoons was kind of interesting as well. Not sure what you can do with him but display him on a shelf , but oh well, there he is.

Placed it on a few different backgrounds to get something I liked, I think this one with the clear in focus face and blurred rest was a good shot for my non-eventful day.

....Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman.....
