I'm sure it is fairly obvious what this is but I wanted to make a somewhat abstract B&W image today.

Heartlight

My apologies up front for any soft rock songs that get stuck in your head (Neil Diamond's Heartlight) but what else could I call this? My neighbor made this heart-shaped display of red mite-lights and I saw it coming home from the chiropractor. I like the glow in the snow. Processed this through Schloss' Bleach Bypass 1 preset in Aperture.

I've seen a lot of Jenga shots lately so I thought I'd do my own. My blocks are actually from an LL Bean game called Ta-Ka-Radi but its all the same build a tower and pull out blocks till it falls over game.

Chew Toy

One of Olivia's Pet Stages toys that is intended to promote chewing for cleaner teeth. She won't do anything with it unless you throw it or hold it right up to her mouth. But I still think it is a neat looking toy, especially up close.

Shave Soap

A traditional shaving kit with soap-bowl and horse-hair brush. I used this for about a month but I didn't find the shaving to be much different than shaving creme. It does, however, take a bit more time to use so I've gone back to shaving creme in a can.

I'm watching my friends' cats while they are in FL and they have this cool multi-colored lamp.

A macro shot of Olivia's black ear, which as you can see has quite a bit of white fur as well.

Scorpion Sucker

OK so on the East coast we call these lollipops not suckers but Scorpion Sucker does sound better. I'm going to post an alternate as well but I think you have to admit the tension of having a scorpion facing you, even when encased in sugar, overrides any focus issues. This was in the goodie bags that the company gave out at the reception.

Click through for the alternate shot.

Macro shot of some dried apricots. Didn't have a lot of time because I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. This also means I won't be posting again till Friday or Saturday. I don't want anyone to think I'm quitting.

Marble Pyramid


Marble Pyramid, originally uploaded by srcleaves.
013/365

A pyramid of green marbles shot in a makeshift "studio" with dark background and side light (admittedly harsh). Silly putty (which you can see) was used to anchor the marbles.

This was really just an experiment to see how it would work. The S95 doesn't have great macro focusing unfortunately.

Mug of hot chocolate, pen, and cool-looking journal. I'm attending a free fiction workshop tonight at the local bookstore. I liked what the Toy Camera preset did with the red on the cover.

My shower curtain. This wasn't the shot I had been planning to make but my original idea just wasn't coming together.

My eye. I had hoped to get closer but my camera just can't focus closer and this is pretty heavily cropped as a result.

Orange is my favorite color so of course I have an orange sweater and it seemed like a good macro shot on a cold January day.
