Day 44 / 365 (#410)
Over a foot of snow overnight, with a couple inches more to come. So, snow tunnels were made.
23mm @ f/8.0, ISO800 1/2000s
#32: Cheap fags. Soon all fags will look this if this ridiculous new "grey packets for all" legislation gets passed.
Was walking into Sheffield this evening and loved these colours with the contrast of the street lights and the colour of the sky behind them
this is my first (and for now) only tattoo, and i've gotten a lot of shit for it. people assume that i just got it because it's cute, but there is more to it than that. i've thought long and hard about what i wanted, and i'm happy about it. i love it.
it's a tokidoki koi fish, original can be found here, and i'll most definitely be getting more tokidoki ink. c:
also, fyi: i've got to get a few places touched up. i know.

[04/16/2011] My friends performed Sushi Girl 4 years ago (top). 4 years later they decided to re-enact it at one of the girls' birthday dinner. (note: I know, two sushi dinners in a row. I'm sick of sushi now)
Today's Project365 pic is of the crane that was assembled during the week on the site of what will eventually be the new Cancer Centre at Ballarat Health Services.
I took this shot from a couple of blocks away with my new lens.
I work in Dalgety Bay, in Fife, Scotland.
Dalgety Bay is a moderately up-market town, housing around 10,000 souls and located on the north side of the River Forth. At this point, the rive is over a mile wide, so going to the waterside really does feel as if you're at the seaside. It's a lovely town, with some beautiful houses, shops, offiecs etc and of course the proximity to the water, that just does something to make me feel good.
However, the town also has a small problem.
During the second world war, there was no town in Dalgety Bay. Instead, there were various military facilities, along with a small factory where aircraft instrumentation was built. In order that the pilots could see the instruments at night, the important features were picked out with luminous paint. That luminosity came from radioactive radium.
Well, after the war, the demand for such equipment faded and the factory was closed. All its supplies were buried or thrown into the river, and the town was built. Now, every so often, some of that equipment bubles up to the surface, and shows itself as radioactive particles.
Yesterday, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency said that a routine inspection of the beach had discovered a particle that was emitting 10 MegaBecquerels... that is ten million nuclear decays per second. Which sounds like a lot, but I suspect is in fact very little.
It was enough to set the media into a feeding frenzy, though, and the papers described the beach as being "cordoned off".
And that's where today's picture comes in.
Here's the beach. Here's the public notice describing the problem. Yes, it's a single laser-printed page, laminated and stuck onto a piece of board.
And don't you like the cordoning off? A few spikes stuck in the ground, a little bit of plastic tape, whivh is tied off on a rusting old boat trailer in the nearby grounds of the Dalgety Bay Sailing Club.
Actually, I rather like the understatement, but could do without the media screaming about the horrors of it all...
I was down in Melbourne for Today's Project 365 photo at a Family Christmas Lunch.
The extended families have become .. well ... extended..... and as a way of being able to get everyone together, Mum's side of the family catches up on the Sunday before Christmas.
This year we had two new additions to the clan, they aren't actually twins, but my cousins both had sons born on the same day in the same hospital.
Here they are with their Great Grandmother.
I prefer taking candid shots of people, so I waited until all the fuss died down after the Aunties got their posed photos, then snapped one of my own.
I have been drinking Coke with everyone else's names on it, so when I saw these at the supermarket, I thought I might as well drink my own.
Well that... and they were on special.
Today's Project 365 pic is of one of the WMDs that the Coalition of the Willing couldn't find.
Actually, I don't know what the hell it is, but its sitting in an industrial estate in Ballarat. I think it may be a movie prop.
The vehicle itself also has machine guns mounted under its headlights. It looks a bit like one of those little carts at the airport that the tows the trailers with all the baggage on it.
Seeing spots.
Nya put this look together especially for today's shot.
Lighting info: SB600 (1/8) into 42inch silver umbrella, camera right.
Day 5: As we went out to lunch today, the guy who drove parked next to this area in our garage. So after work I took this shot when it was a little darker.
Today's Project 365 pic is of the old Carriers Arms Hotel in Ballarat.
It is now an office, but you can still see the evidence of its former life.
By the look of it, the Tiger Beer advertising was painted over with the Melbourne Bitter advert.
The Tiger Beer ad may have been for Richmond Tiger Beer, a brewery bought out by CUB in 1962.
Day 99: As many of you know, while doing this project you have learned to take your camera pretty much every where you go and the times you don't you'll probably see something interesting. I decided to take my camera while taking the trash to the dumpsters and it paid off.
I tired a new black and white processing technique on this shot
October 26, 2008. Remember when you were young and you would take leaves and crayon shavings and press them with a warm iron between sheets of wax paper? Now my kids will have that memory also.
May 29 Today is Sunday. I know one of these is definitely a gear, but I'm hoping the other is a sprocket so I have a photo of something that starts with an S. Weird I know :-)
This controls the gate to a lock on the River Avon in Fladbury.
Supper is done! Ok, it’s not done, but it’s done. If you read my post today (http://digiscrapping.net/blog/?p=2758), Christiano is sick. I took a few minutes while he was playing good to throw chili together in the crock pot. Now, I know in my recipe (http://digiscrapping.net/blog/?p=2529) I said to cook the meat first, but I didn’t have time, I was racing a baby who would get cranky at any minute. My mom makes it this way and it’s always good. I just cook it before I stick it in in case for some reason we have to eat sooner than anticipated. The rest is hot and I know the meat is cooked thoroughly. No soccer tonight, nothing special to do, so it’ll have a good long time to get done.
