This is actually for last week, when creative juices were running low. I'll upload this week's 52 Weeks photo tomorrow.
PS. I had no idea my floor was so shiny!
PPS. I love my remote.
You can see what everybody else creates here.

My bookshelf broke when we moved, so a lot of my books got shoved into corners. Now we know that the new house has a condensation and mold problem. I threw a full trash bag of books away today. :( I love my books. I will probably never again read most of the salvaged books, but they have memories. They were given to me by loved ones, or acquired during special times. Some of the people in my family don't understand that, especially when they hauled the heavy boxes of books from the old house! But I'm guessing someone on Flickr gets it. So that's my highlight of the week. Cleaning mold.
P.S. If you have any hints on condensation problems, please let me know!!! I live in the second driest state in the U.S. and this shouldn't be an issue!
For the Metal theme at 52 of 2014. We've been hanging pictures at the new place so I happened to have a pile of nails! Eight second exposure. Explored!

Everybody is free to create an image
based on his/her own interpretation of these lyrics :
"Come gather around people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
And if your breath to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who that it's naming
For the loser now will be later to win
Cause the times they are a-changing
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's the battle outside raging
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
Cause the times they are a-changing
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slowest now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
Cause the times they are a-changing"
© Bob Dylan
I came to this location because only a small stretch of the road is paved, but you can't really see that with the snow. :)

I want this year to be an opportunity to be more present and aware of the privileged life I'm fortunate to live. 2019 was a year that often kept me in low places, and I continually found myself beneath a weight of burdens that I let tie themselves to me rather than let them pass over me.
To that goal, my partner suggested journaling to me. To write down the things that I struggle with. Write down the things I'm grateful for. Write down the things that are important to me.
My photography goals in 2020 mirror that of my mental health goals. I want to feel more open to being creative, and I want to be less selective about what I share. I want to spend less time under the weight of being perfect, or better than the last shot. I'm not built for that grind.
I scanned through the first journal entry I wrote in my new journal and came across the phrase "I want to be happy."
I wanted to share that piece of my journal without revealing all of my other sensitive things I'm writing about, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to embrace my photography goals as well.
I want to be happy. I want the people around to me to be happy and healthy as well.
Here's to a happy 2020.

I'm starting a 52 weeks project this year. It's going to be a little different, everything is going to be uploaded onto my blog. I feel doing it this way will make me more likely to finish this. I'm going to try and write about every week and have more than one photograph. View week one here.
Week two. Theme: Red.
It took less than a week for me to remember why it is I'm not fond of shooting self portraits. Getting the focus sharp, ensuring the settings are how you like them, composing a shot nicely without really looking through the viewfinder, trying to look at least vaguely photogenic, plus (this time) shielding the camera from the lovely English rain... cor blimey. 51 weeks from now I'm hoping this will all be second-nature! From this week's shoot I came out with a handful of serious shots, a handful of smiley shots and this slightly scratchy, very frowny out-take (wind blowing hair into eyes = grumpy face!). Nathalie & Serena told me to go for the frowny shot (scary!), so here it is. Might brave a little blog post of the rest later this week. Hope you like it :]

A new crop for this photo, as recommended by Jerry Van Dyk. I do like it much better. Thanks, Jerry.

I finally managed to take some new photos even if it was now how I imagined it. I'm pretty tired and ill but next weeks seems pretty exciting so I hope I will get better.
52 Weeks of 2019
Week No: 1 — WooHoo — we’re off and running!
Theme: New Year / New Goals
Category: Creative
One of my resolutions for this year is to take more pictures--more specifically, to take weekly pictures. Last year was the first time in about a decade that I haven't fulfilled a weekly photo challenge. Not the best year for my creativity all around but I'm going to do my best to turn that around.
I took this shot on my morning walk (another resolution) and am going to get back to carrying my camera along with me and not just the phone.
Happy 2019 everyone!
Explored!

when I took this photo, i was just soo hot that gah, no words.
I have had such an overwhelming amount of support in my photography ahhh, I love every single one of you. Thank you all soo much, I really appreciate you all.
I am posting this 52 weeks pretty early in the week (well early for me) since i will be busy over the weekend with a wedding to attend! But hopefully, I will have some time to take photos!
Blessings and love.
And yeah, I've completed my photographic project named 'Project52' that lasted for the past one year. A BIG thanks to one and all who have supported me with their blessings and love (check notes). With the project, I've learnt a lot that surely had helped me in photographing better. For several times, I've thought of dropping the project. Lack of subject/good photos was the reason. But, the Contact uploads inspired me to continue it. I, once again thank everyone who had appreciated as well as criticized me so far.

and in an instant,
I had my life back
on monday and tuesday I had my last exams. and there I was, on april 20, 12 o’clock, done with my a-levels. I can’t describe how I felt. it was over. the exams I have been afraid of for years, the ones I studied for like crazy, over over over. the weather was amazing and we sat in the park until 8pm and we had the best time. and on wednesday we spent time there again because two of my friends were finished then, too. and I slept. I slept really good for the first time in weeks. on thursday I spent my time with Nina and we stayed up until 3am although there was no exam we had to study for. we stayed up late because we wanted to. and on friday the people who took an exam in spanish were done too, so we spent another day in the park and on saturday we had a big party in a club and on sunday I did nothing. I was busy all the time but I had the best week. and my a-levels are over. finally.
in contrast to my week, this photo was a pain in the ass. I had it all pictured in my head, but the photos didn’t come out the way I wanted them to, so I took them again. and again. I used different locations and different clothes and different times of the day, but I was just not satisfied. they didn’t express my week in the best way. so I had pictures from three shootings, but they didn’t fit. after I had taken the pictures for week thirty, I took some other ones for about 10 minutes and when I had a look at them, I knew that one of them must be the picture for week thirty one. so here it is, different from what I imagined, but the perfect picture for my week.
I posted pictures from the other shoots in the comments. :) there is also a collage of some other ones that won’t mean anything to you, so you can just ignore them, but I want them to be here for when I look back on my project in the future.

This was totally an idea Anthony Castro suggested and I sat in front of my laptop for ever trying to make it work 😂 I will show my concept somewhen during the next days :)

I'm on a mission to complete the 52 week photo challenge, to capture at least 1 photo a week for a whole year.
Welcome to Day 9 of Technique Week! Today I get to present to you what may be my favorite technique yet.
It's a flooring pattern! Though it's inspired by legostrator's most recent technique (which you should totally check out), it's really more closely related to my own brick wall technique than anything else. The picture shows pretty well how to make it, but I'll run through the process anyways.
First, place 2 layers of 1x4 plates, one vertical and one horizontal so they form a strip that is always 4 studs wide and each plate is offset by one stud from the next. Repeat this several times. Then, attach 1x1 tiles with clip on top to the strip as shown in the picture (the red clips are oriented horizontally, the black ones vertically). Then, attach 1x2 tiles to 1x2 plates with horizontal bar, and attach those to the clips. Now, you have several strips of an offset tile-pattern. You connect those using some headlight bricks, 1x1 bricks with stud on one side and 1x1 plates as shown in the picture to offset the strips from each other by half a plate both vertically and horizontally.
I personally love this technique and definitely plan on using it in a moc sometime soon.
Click here for more days of Technique Week and and here for previous techniques.
I've also used this technique in an actual build, unlike most of my other ones. :P So you can see this one in action.
