I woke up with planets in my face.

I have had a hard week with illness in the whole family (me included) so there have not been many oppurtunities for photographing. But today I decided to try to take some pictures I have been planning for a time.

 

In Evander's room there is a ceiling lamp which I have not fastened to the roof and therefore it hovers a short distance over the floor*. I like its soft glow and Evander enjoys using it as a punching bag. I put him down next to it and let him do his thing while I laid down in the hallway, since I was shooting with the 50mm to use its 1.8 aperture.

 

Byt the way: Tomorrow Evander is 6 months. Time is sure going fast these days.

 

The title of the photograph is in honour of Peter Adams, peteradamsmusic.com/ newest album. I have sung "the Observatory" the whole day and I like to think of the lamp as an low orbiting planet. The first of many astronomy themed decorations in his room. ;-)

 

*I will fix this before it becomes a hazard, but as for now he only uses his room for sleeping.
