This one was particularly aggressive and was chasing ants that were passing by. Too bad I couldn't snap a photo of it while it was in action.

Last I saw of this super-docile spider before the first snow. I assume that, because it was so fearless of me, that it could have been eaten by a bird or squirrel that it was equally unafraid of.

I lend my camera to my friend today, in return, I get his Leica. So, today I won't be able to post any new shot. Instead, I will post one of the "out takes" from the previous days.
I took this picture on Day 4. I really like this picture. The picture was took at the Market by Granville Island. There are lots of tourists, vendors, street performers, artists, students, fruits. books, crafts, colours, soup, and pigeons. So, it's a photogenic place. This performer (sorry that I forgot his name) was standing under a huge skylight, resulting a nice, warm, spotlight-like, lighting on him.
By the way, I love that sunburst-finish Ovation guitar. Sexy thing.
Busking for a new sax
After shooting photos with Ryan earlier in the day, I knew that the blue hour presented a great challenge for more photos. While theoretically, I could have found a landscape to fully utilize the blue hour; I decided to wander down State Street towards the sound of a saxophone playing. It was pure luck that just at the end of the 100 Block I found the source of the melody, I pulled out my notebook and took a few quick notes. (I've started to carry a notebook to jot down simple things about my strangers, so that I can be more accurate with my write-ups). Once a crowd of people had passed I was able to step in and introduce myself to the sax player and thus stranger number 90 was had.
I introduced myself as Chris a stranger photographer, an he was Daniel a student of philosophy at UW. The obvious point of any musician out busking on State Street is to make money, Daniel's income from playing is going towards making ends meet as well as saving up for a new alto saxophone (he is pictured playing the tenor sax). At 20 years young Daniel has played sax for more then half his life (11 years) and although it started in band as just an instrument it's grown into a passion as of late. Strangely he never got more into playing the flute, although he did play for three years.
When he's not busy with philosophy and busking on State, Daniel performs with the Wisconsin Singers as an instrumentalist (a group of people with many talents). Daniel also works under Prof. Richard Davis, in a group called the "Black Music Ensemble." With one more year left in school, Daniel plans on keeping with the music and looks forward to being the Assistant Music Director for the Wisconsin Singers until Spring 2015. Ideally, once he graduates Daniel hopes to explore a career in music performances by gigging on a few cruise ships to make some real money.
When I asked Daniel what the hardest part of playing saxophone is; he informed me that he plays with a lot of VERY talented people. Sometimes he struggles with the fact that they are so talented, he feels that they are above his level ten fold. Alternatively, he informed me that the easiest part of playing is that it comes second nature to him and the most important thing is to make sure you are having fun. Once our conversation was done, I lifted my coins out of the depths of my pocket and threw them into his case (it may not be much but with his talent a new sax should be chump change).
Obviously the goal of the 100 strangers project is to get to know someone you've never met before. This has become second nature for me, the second part is just as easy (almost) in snapping a photo of the subject. I allowed Daniel to just go about his night as he was before I came into the picture, and we clicked a few photos; after he played a tune I had him turn and smile for the camera. ISO6400 has noise, but I've come to accept the noise that makes the photo. Before parted ways, I gave Daniel a business card so he could locate his photo here as well as contact me with anything further he wished to add to my write-up. So these words would not be possible if not for the kindness of Daniel allowing me to include him the project.

A grove of moss covered Maple trees in Olympic National Park's Hoh Rainforest. This image is a composite of 15 original photos, with five unique vertical compositions bracketed at +2 and -2 and later exposure blended. The resulting five exposure blended shots were then stitched to build this panorama.
The Hoh Rain Forest is located in the stretch of the Pacific Northwest rain forest which once spanned the Pacific coast from southeastern Alaska to the central coast of California. The Hoh is one of the finest remaining examples of temperate rain forest in the United States and is one of the park's most popular destinations.

Made with a canon 5D Mark II, 17-40mm f/2.8L Wide Angle, developed with iMovie
I received my Canon 5D Mark II in the mail yesterday (finally after a week of FedEx missing us!) and I am so excited to start playing! I really haven't done much since I had to edit photos last night until I passed out but here is the first one I ever took. The photos seem to come out quite crisp and bright (this is SOOC with a 50mm lense). I bought the kit so I will also be playing with my new 24-105mm L IS USM lens:-) I think the thing I appreciate the most with this new camera is being able to shoot in full frame! I didn't have to get incredibly far away to shoot this cup...with my Rebel I would have had too...LOVE IT!!!
