(I'd normally link to the blog, but given a lot of today's post had to do with camera issues, I'll just post here)
Alternatively, this picture could have been named "when bird owners look stupid" as I roped in the Boy to try and get Joey to stretch by stretching ourselves (I did participate and I'm sure I looked even more stupid as I was holding a camera to my face at the same time, making sure I wouldn't miss "the shot"). But hey, it worked! I got a few more that I'll probably share tomorrow.
As well, my challenge of the week of taking pictures with my 70mm f/2.4 lens has come to an abrupt, unplanned and sad ending today. The lens is fine - however, my flash, in all appearances, has died and without it, I just can't take pictures that would make me happy with my camera (I refuse to use the built-in flash) so I have to borrow the Boy's camera and external flash. And since he and I don't use the same brand, I can't use my lens on his camera. This makes me unhappy for many reasons; one, having to buy a new flash is not something I want to do but will since I've become dependent on it in a way and two, I know my camera very well and got to know my flash very well. Settings I used with them do NOT transfer to this new camera and flash I have to use. And given some nights the birds aren't entirely happy about sitting still for too long, I don't really have time to learn the subtleties of the Boy's camera.
I'll have to fix this sooner than later, but sooner might not be until Saturday.
Today is the last day of my 30s, so I thought I would indulge myself by capturing the day with a self portrait. As of January 1st (yes, I'm a New Year's baby) I turn (sigh) 40. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet exactly - after all, it's only a number right? Right?

Part of a series of drawings substituting cigarettes. To help me quit smoking I have decided to draw whatever is in front of me when I would normally smoke.
Day 39 of the 365 Photo Journey February 8, 2010.
I have signed of a 10km run on the 28th of Feb which runs through the newly built Clem 7 Tunnel here is Brisbane.
I want to finish the race inside 45 minutes and I'm hoping these super lightweight 220 gram each racing flats will do the trick. I have never run in them. My brother gave them to me as they don't fit him.
I once ran a fair bit and wasn't too bad at it. My Brother is the real runner in the family.
