this photo is part of the Straight From Camera series.
It's been a really good, but busy day, and it deserved a good dinner. We used some of the produce from our CSA share and made a Potato Kohlrabi Gratin. Wonderful.
Since Christmas, the Rainbow Loom has travelled with us (as has the Christmas Jammies song). We have bracelets everywhere. This is the loom in action. I used a 28mm JCPenny manual lens I picked up from an antique store, I think the older JCPenny branded lenses were made by Pentax. The adapter cost more than the lens. 28mm, 1.3 seconds, F/2.8, ISO 200 #photoaday #project365 #xmasjammies #rainbowloom #bracelets

Here it is! The first book I have been published in. According to my fathers count I have 17 photos in which I am well chuffed with.
Some of my flickr contacts also have many amazing shots included in this fantastic book -

we all met up with Raine this morning for our own personal walking tour. first we visited the famous Infant Jesus of Prague, which is housed inside a church. we weren't the only ones there to see him, i guess many people make religious pilgrammages to Prague just to pray to this infant doll. afterward, we made a pit stop at Starbucks for some warm holiday drinks before heading back out into the cold. we walked across the Charles Bridge again and this time it was very crowded and full of artisan stands. after some photos on the bridge, we walked down to the John Lennon wall for a photoshoot and to each write our own musings on the wall in gold sharpie. Brit, Mahala and i met up with our tour guide Filip again for a tour of the Prague Castle. it's interesting because the towers you see from the city actually belong to the enormous cathedral up there and not the castle itself but is still considered a part of the whole. again, we listened to so many intriguing histories of Prague while freezing from windchill on the hilltop. after our tour, we met back up with Raine and grabbed dinner at the corner restaurant, Meduzzy's. i ordered gulas, a typical Czech meal. after relaxing for only just a little bit, we decided to go check out the five-story club called Karlovy Lazne, the largest club in Europe. it was a very fun night to finish off the weekend in Prague.
I almost forgot my photo today!!! I had a busy day and was sooo exhausted on top of it and kept falling asleep!!! This is an icecream sandwich that I enjoyed immediately after I took it's "portrait" It was very yummy and refreshing on such an warm evening here in the summer heat :)
Flying a Parrot AR Drone in the Campaign Monitor offices. See a short video of Ben's shaky flying skills here. :)
Some custom made joinery specifically installed at Campaign Monitor for the storage of table tennis balls. We take our pong seriously.
went to the Australian embassy, had a productive day at work, salmon and potatoe gratin for lunch (selfmade with the noisy boys), went to the gym and watched a movie
OUSFG had a visit from Philip Reeve, author of the Mortal Engines series of books (and others!). He gave us a really interesting talk about how he'd come to write Mortal Engines, and the talk was accompanied by a series of slides with photos and book covers. This is him talking animatedly in front of his favourite illustratoin of Mortal Engines :-)
