This is the state of our current living situation. This morning there was a cockroach in the bathtug, now there is only this note. And the little bastard is lurking underneath...
This is the jaw (or mandible if you prefer) of a Cockroach. Due to how far we're zoomed in here it is very hard to get much of it in focus at the same time. We can easily see 3 teeth on the nearside, but you can just about follow the line of teeth round to the farside if the jaw from top to bottom.

Let's play a game.
Pick one item from the very beginning of your original Flickr stream and pick an early item of what you shoot a lot. These should be items within the first four pages. Compare it to similar items at the halfway point of your stream.
One of my first 10 images consisted of flowers and my 365 makes up most of my collection. I've had a Flickr account since 2008, so I'm using pictures from late autumn/early winter '09. Get the idea? I just want you to look at what you started as and what style evolutions may have taken place.
Do you think you've grown/changed in a positive matter? Or is it just something different, neither good or bad, to you? Note any changes in gear, location, etc.
