for this week's photo challenge!!
It was definitely a challenge....our spring has turned into summer already.
Active Assignment Weekly 2/6: Water
WIT: 2 soda bottles. One filled with water and glitter and connected to the other with a plastic coupler and washer. 2 off camera flashes on snoots with camera below. Black backdrop. Some PP contrast and highlight adjustments. Lots of swirls and random testing of camera settings and flash position in order to minimize reflections and expose the tornado.
It's been a while, I know, I'm having another depressive episode that's been lasting for weeks now and haven't produced much. I can barely bring myself to update my bujo/planner. I usually fill in the blanks on Sunday.

Het is even geleden, ik weet het, ik heb weer eens last van mijn depressie die nu al weken duurt en heb niet veel gemaakt. Ik kan mij er nauwelijks toe zetten om mijn bujo bij te werken, dit doe ik meestal op zondag.
Radish and broccoli sprouts on a pita with homemade hummus. Sprinkle some lemon juice and olive oil, along with some salt and ground pepper, and this sandwich is complete.
I love the Chronodex design but I'm a night owl so Patrick's original design doesn't suit my needs. I came across Jo Larsen Burnett's modification of Patrick's Chronodex and saw how versatile it is. No time shown, and all I needed was to add my own mod - adding another ring within to make space for my night activities. Works great! If anyone wants it, let me know and I'll upload a PDF version.

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: A mile in my shoes
My boyfriend complained when he was visiting I have too many shoes (clearly a sign of being a girl), and he gets by with just one pair of shoes and one pair of sandals. I pointed out that he lives in California where the bloody weather never changes, but as I'm in Ottawa where we get not only the full range of seasons, but often the full range of extremes in each, plus a good amount of precipitation... he can suck it about it being my *gender* that results in so much footwear. ;)
So when I saw the assignment, I knew I had to take a picture and annotate it. So here are my shoes! The picture is missing the slip-ons I wear for taking out the trash, 'cause they're not really essential.
What it took: carrying a lot of shoes out to the side door and trying not to feel too foolish as people walked by as I was piling them on the step and photographing them.
Post processing: Cropped, boosted the colours some, cloned out a shadow from the house that I found distracting. Plus, labelling all the shoes!
From the splendor of Christmas Past, to today's sketchy lodgings.. Unfortunately the beautiful awnings are no more... maybe some day it can be brought back to splendor? I went out to capture some Christmas fun at 2.7 megapixels. Because film isn’t challenging enough. Nikon D1 digital camera, still a pro, even if it isn’t up to modern ‘Hype’. It can get the job done. These were shot at ISO 200 and f/22. Using a Kodak DKL Schneider-Kreuznach Retina Xenon 50mm f/1.9 lens adapted to Nikon. That lens is late 1960s vintage repurposed from a retired Kodak Instamatic Reflex 126 camera. I meant to set the shutter speed as well, but in the end, I forgot and left the D1 to its own devices. These are Downtown, Ogden, Utah shot on Boxing Day 2021.
This group took forever to get their umbrella and bits and bobs ready to sit back in the sun ... but they got there!!
Flickr Lounge - Weekly Theme (Week 38) ~ People, Places and Things ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
One of my goals for the Journal Class is to get back into the habit of doing ‘weekly pages’.... One of my constant challenges is to find ways to make interesting 'text pages' as I really want my journal to be a record of my life.
So here is this weeks. The concept behind this is to create a spread at the beginning of the week that I can use to dump various random trivial things on it during the week. I have found in the past that I really LOVE reading these when I come back to my journals months or years later – there is something special of being reminded of absolutely useless trivia that no one is interested in but yourself – maybe it is because it is so personal (in a trivial way not a private-no-one-must-see way) Does this make any sense?
What I like to do is to make the text not that easy to read so as to discourage people who look through my journal to read it because I am sure that no one really wants to know how many headaches I have in the week!?!
One of my other goals was to slow down without taking much more time. I don’t think that I achieved this this time... Look at how different those two shoes are – the real profile is in between the two. Although I would have liked for them to be more similar I am not going to lose any sleep over it. Maybe tomorrow I will remember that I want to spend 1 minute extra at the start of a sketch....
Trying out reds with my Daniel Smith paints – oh! Nice!
