The trouble with doing a mini-series is that once it's finished it's hard to get back into thinking up ideas. So I'm breaking myself back in gently by contributing another shot to my occasional kitchen table series.
For a bit of added interest I decided to include the book I'm re-reading at the moment: Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction. I've been a fan of this series since I was a kid, each book is a work of genius and I probably re-read the whole series at least once a year. Everyone should own the Adrian Mole diaries.
And possibly my favourite quote of all time comes from one of these books: "I'm a genius but at the same time I'm not very clever". Ha ha! It's always made a lot of sense to me, and I think that's why I love these books so much - I've always been able to relate to the central character. Sue Townsend, the author, is awesome.
And before I go, I just wanted to say thanks for all the cool stuff you guys said during last week's miniseries - I was only going to do one day, but you kept me interested with your own interest and kept feeding me ideas!
I know there are loads more I could've done, but there was a very tenuous narrative binding each shot together and the whole series was meant to join up as a kind of story. For anyone disappointed that I didn't do 'meh', I did try yesterday but frankly the shot I got was laaaaaame and I didn't want to end the series with something half-assed, so I re-shot using 'ha'. I seemed like a better parting shot than 'meh' too.
You never know though, next time I'm out of ideas (tomorrow?) you might see those letters resurrected!
Texture by MattNJohnson. In a slight change of tack I've not done a lot else to this shot, it came out of the camera pretty well so there wasn't a lot more I could do with it. I just wanted to gross the wall up a bit - our kitchen honestly doesn't look that messy.
Strobist info: SB600 to camera left at 1/2 power bounced off the corner of the room.
