This week is Valentine’s Day in honor the bloody massacre of a bunch of mobsters by some other mobsters during the prohibition in 1929. You gotta have a lot of passion to do something like that.
Week 8: Jerry note to self I may need to burn this rug
I had an interesting time with this, for the life of me I could not get the camera to auto focus on this. I would take it off of AF and try to manual focus which wasn’t happening either. As I started to contemplate using a different lens I noticed that they had a ‘macro’ comment on the lens which said 1 m given I was significantly closer than 1 m from the rug I quickly backed out and here the photo was.
Week 8 Theme: Abstract
I have it on good authority that abstract means the following.
So abstract it is!!
Week 7: Jerry gets chilly
It is Jan in Illinois, it is a historically warm winter, but it was just below freezing and there was water rushing on both sides of me. I took all these photos while wearing gloves.
Week 7 Theme: Water
One thing I liked about growing up in the Upper Midwest is all the water. This weeks theme is water.
Week 6: Jerry muses now how the heck did that happen?
When I was younger I would shoot a roll of film, save up some money and get it processed (and buy some more film.) There was a delay between when I took the photo and when I saw the photo. Interesting things would happen and I would wonder ‘now what the heck did I do that?’ Now with digital cameras the feedback is so fast I see the image and realized what I did. This time it was a happy accident but it will be deliberate in the future.
Week 6 Theme: A night landscape
It is winter, which means we have lots and lots of night (today we will have more than 12 hours of dark and less than 10 hours of light.)
Week 5: Jerry says ‘don’t worry that is green, honest.’
Okay, so here is the deal. I HATE taking pictures where people can ask me what I am doing, srsly it creeps me out. I wanted to do something at work cause Groupon has a lot of green. I brought my camera for a week but I never found the time to go get some photos.
It is also January here in Illinois, so not a lot of green outside… except it is unseasonably warm. So I went for a little walk to see what I could find and I found some moss on a log. Boom Green Accomplished!!
Week 5 Theme: Green!!
So the method by which we decide what to do is decidedly unscientific, but decidedly hi tek. BTW is it just me or does anyone else get freaked out by a screen cap showing less than 20% battery?
Week 4: Jerry’s waiting onna train
I have a 2 hour each way commute each day. I try to spend as little time as possible in the trainstation. But today I decided to spend a little more time there. I feel very uncomfortable taking pictures in ‘public’ so I took the late train and arrived before it did to minimize the number of people around.
