This girl was about 9 feet away from me as I shot her with an old 200-400mm zoom. I liked the way the light was illuminating her bangs and the compression from the lens.
It's only February and weather is getting so much nicer, it almost feels like spring is here already. Went to study out on the weekend, and while I didn't get much study done, at least was a nice time out :)

The art is waiting for wallspace. Ty purchased eight print from the Missed Connections series by Sophie Blackall (http://www.sophieblackall.com/) specifically for this room.
It took us nearly two years to figure what to do about the fireplace insert. We can't afford a gas fireplace right now, so it just needed to be closed off. I saw this in a design magazine and knew it was perfect for us. We found faux brick facade at Rona, cut it to size and painted it our trim colour. It's just sits behind the mantel. Yah!
A few weeks ago we finally "finished" renovating the living room and turning it into Ty's study. (I say "finished" because there are a few things to still do, like find new chairs, pillows, curtains, and we want to have built-in bookcases built in the corners on either side of the bay window.

The Winter Garden Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 1634 Broadway in midtown-Manhattan.
It was built by William Kissam Vanderbilt in 1896 to the be the American Horse Exchange.
In 1911 the Shuberts leased the building and Architect William Albert Swasey redesigned the building as a theatre. It is the fourth New York City venue to be christened the Winter Garden, it opened on March 10, 1911 with the early Jerome Kern musical La Belle Paree.
It was completely remodeled in 1922 by Herbert J. Krapp. The large stage is wider than those in most Broadway houses, and the proscenium arch is relatively low. The building is situated uniquely on its lot, with the main entrance and marquee, located on Broadway, connected to the 1530-seat Seventh Avenue auditorium via a long hallway, and the rear wall of the stage abutting 50th Street.
The theatre's longest tenant was Cats, which opened on October 7, 1982 and ran 7,485 performances spanning nearly nineteen years. The auditorium had been gutted to accommodate the show's junkyard setting, and after its closing architect Francesca Russo supervised its restoration, returning it to its 1920s appearance.

'Cats,'
Broadway's Longevity Champ, to Close
After almost 18 years, $380 million in sales and untold gallons of makeup, ''Cats,'' the longest-running production in Broadway history, will close on June 25.
The musical, at the Winter Garden Theater, will end its run after 7,397 performances, a streak that began while much of the show's current cast was in grade school.
The closing, which has been rumored for several months, was confirmed yesterday.
An audience pleaser with seemingly endless appeal for children and tourists, ''Cats'' will have been seen by more than 10 million people in New York by the time its final curtain falls. Since opening in 1982 it often ranked near the top shows on Broadway in gross sales. It outlasted hundreds of other musicals, and will have come close to outlasting three presidential administrations.
In recent years, however, the well of audiences has slowly run dry, leaving the theater half full on some nights, with the show's producers taking losses during the winter with hopes of making a profit during the tourist-packed summers.
Reached in London yesterday, Lord Lloyd Webber said the closing was bittersweet. ''Obviously, I am sad that 'Cats' has to close on Broadway at the end of June, but it is also a day of great celebration,'' he said. ''Eighteen is a great age for a cat.''
In the end, ''Cats'' may have been simply done in by its own success. The musical has been produced in 30 countries worldwide and seen by an estimated 50 million people, or roughly the population of California and New York combined.
Financially, ''Cats'' ranks as one of the most successful musical of all time, churning millions into the pockets of its investors and making international stars and multimillionaires out of Lord Lloyd Webber and the show's lead producer, Sir Cameron Mackintosh. It also acted as an economic engine for the city of New York; a 1997 study by Audience Research and Analysis said ''Cats'' had contributed more than $3.12 billion to the city's economy and more than $195 million in state and local taxes.
But more than a financial juggernaut, ''Cats'' fundamentally reshaped the Broadway landscape by ushering in the era of the megamusicals: big, flashy spectacles that required little theatrical sophistication or knowledge of the English language to appreciate. As such, ''Cats''' proved that tourist audiences could drive a show's sales. Tourists filled the Winter Garden long after ''Cats'' had become passe among New York theatergoers.
But ''Cats,'' with its lavish design and elaborate special effects, also whetted audiences' appetites for increasingly complex stagecraft. Soon Broadway was witness to all variety of expensive stage magic, from falling chandeliers (in Lord Lloyd Webber's 1988 musical, ''The Phantom of the Opera'') to helicopters landing onstage (in Sir Cameron's 1991 production, ''Miss Saigon'') to the foundering of the Titanic (in the 1997 musical of the same name).
While visually arresting, these effects raised the cost of producing musicals, making producers' prospect of turning a profit -- always slim -- even more forbidding. Higher production costs led to higher ticket prices.
As the run of ''Cats'' continued, the musical also became a cultural touchstone, becoming synonymous with longevity -- and, eventually, longueur -- in comedians' routines and among theater gossips. Even its advertising slogan, ''Now and Forever,'' suggested a certain eerie, inevitable immortality.
And in an industry populated by old-time showmen, ''Cats'' also made its mark in marketing, adopting a text-free and thus internationally recognizable logo. The production also saturated the airwaves with television commercials and made its posters a permanent fixture in New York City subway stations.
It prompted a cottage industry in show-related trivia. More than 1.8 million pounds of dry ice have been used during the show's run to create fog onstage. The sheer poundage of yak hair used for wigs, 3,247 pounds during the run, outweighs a Volkswagen Beetle. One of the musical's most popular songs, ''Memory,'' has been recorded 180 times by different artists around the world. ''Cats'' has employed 284 actors, 19 of whom have died. One, Marlene Danielle, has been with the show since the beginning of its Broadway run.
''Cats'' opened in New York on Oct. 7, 1982, after months of pre-show hype and a sold-old run in the West End of London. (The London production is still running; ''Cats'' is now the longest-running show in the history of the British theater.)
Based on ''Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats,'' a slim volume of poems by T. S. Eliot, ''Cats'' follows the tale of a group of alley cats, one of whom, Grizabella, ascends to kitty heaven, known as the heaviside layer, by show's end.
But story was really never the appeal of ''Cats.'' The musical, with a catchy, melodic pop score by Lord Lloyd Webber, had no book and little plot.
Instead, the production's focus was on theatrical spectacle. The actors, directed by Trevor Nunn, are outfitted in feline body suits, foot-long whiskers and swirling face makeup and prowl the theater's aisles, stealing popcorn from children's hands and purring into people's faces. Aiding the illusion is a series of ingenious effects by the designer John Napier, who transformed the interior of the Winter Garden into a overrun junkyard seen from a cat's-eye perspective. At the musical's finale, a giant hydraulically powered tire lifts Grizabella into the sky.
Frank Rich wrote in The New York Times: ''Whatever the other failings and excesses, even banalities, of 'Cats,' it believes in purely theatrical magic, and on that faith it unquestionably delivers.'' He also predicted that ''Cats'' was ''likely to lurk around Broadway for a long time.''
His words proved prophetic. ''Cats'' won seven Tony Awards in 1983, including best musical, and in June 1997 it surpassed ''A Chorus Line'' as the longest-running production in Broadway history. The occasion was celebrated with a reunion of former cast members and a block party in front of the Winter Garden.

A young monk studying at Wat Rajamontean, who was kind enough to let me take his photo. We had a quick chat, then I let him get back to his work.
"In Thailand and Burma, it is common for boys to spend some time living as a monk in a monastery. Most stay for only a few years and then leave, but a number continue on in the ascetic life for the rest of their lives." -Wikipedia

A little nook I made myself for studying during finals week.
Been behind on my flickr. I haven't updated my pro account and I'm kind of mad I lost a lot of my shots that were viewable on here. On the other hand, I've started a blog of all my recent shoots! I've put off photography for the time being to try and work a few more hundred dollars into my bank account to buy this 35mm f/1.4L. I'm sooo close and really can't wait to make the purchase.

Really only looking for two things with this one: first, what fun could I have with camera movements (camera angled down, rear standard returned to vertical to keep trees from converging, but front standard with exaggerated forward tilt, to throw the top 2/3 of the frame out of focus; and front swing, to shift plane of focus roughly along the front of the open shed; the result is some weird geometry on the shed roof, exaggerating the apparent convergence of the roof edges). And second, how much detail from the shed interior could I retain. Altogether, I'm pleased with the result.

Texas and Pacific 4-6-0 #316 catches her breath on the trip from Palestine to Rusk, in the service of the Texas State Railroad. Her pause was prompted by a meet with an opposing motorcar excursion. I find this image particularly rewarding with delightful details in every corner. Of note, "Study #2" at the beginning of this album is of the same driving wheel, but out of service awaiting renewal.

taken about an hour before my first half yearly HSC exam. I have been off school for two weeks and have missed a lot of lesson content etc. Needless to say I was stressing out a bit, so sitting outside and going over my notes with a coffee was just what I needed. That latte was fucking delicious also.
