Our Daily Challenge - Wild Goose Chase
49:365
So panic stations to choose the challenge today (you know that Monday morning brain blankness?!!) So TheStev pipes up - This Daily Challenge is always such a wild goose chase.
Voila! Challenge set!
Afterwards though I wonder what the hell was I thinking. I mean I rarely listen to TheStev on any given day - and now I'm stuck with a challenge I can't get my head around!
Anyway I've been chasing the idea of a Diptych (it is my 365 challenge this week) that is a little more than 2 photos put together.
This is the result, a wild ride, more than a goose chase - but all yours anyway!
Today the weather was dreary so I shot some utensils in the sink using different settings on the Lumix, from Sepia to something called fantasy. I wasn't impressed with my results, so instead I cut them up and made simple kaleidoscope images.

49/365 -Around the house - Day 49
Based on this portrait of Siouxsie Sioux by Austin Young which is currently her Facebook profile image.
A friend suggested that she looked like me (I've heard it the other way around before but that was a first!).
I haven't done the portrait (or her) justice, but it was fun to Sioux up again - haven't done that for possibly a couple of decades! I had to do this with the camera on a tripod, my daughter holding up a mirror so I could see the screen on the back of my camera to frame the shot, and firing the shutter from there (using the timer would have meant moving several times whilst trying to hold that thing on my head!).
I would love a studio and some proper lights.
I hope to do more homages/impersonations throughout the 365 - could never do a week of them so it will have to be an occasional series.
Seen in Explore.
Following my 1965 LP "Love Songs For A Misanthrope," I decided that my music needed to take a new direction.
So I left my jazz bluegrass roots to trailblaze a path in the psychadelic classical genre. Imagine Hendrix meets Bernstein. Actually, Jimi and Lenny did meet once at a Black Panther fundraiser at Jackie O's New York City pad.
Unfortunately, I was in the bathroom trying to cough up a pubic hair that had been stuck there ever since my dinner the night before with "Tricky Dick" Richard Nixon. So I missed that historic exchange.
Oh well, they're all dead. And I'm sure others will die, too. I think it was Col. Sanders who said that there are only three real choices in life...boredom...suffering...and extra crispy.
Again, this is the LP cover photo from that set that I called "Don't Bogart That Joint Beethoven."

49/365 -Around the house - Day 49
It rained all day today, cold, miserable rain.
I moved my home office to the kitchen so I could enjoy the heat from the stove.
And I really couldn't be bothered trying to get an artistic shot, so here's my desk on the kitchen table.

This is my new picture for my 365 project for the weekly theme "reflections".
Just a quick catch with my iPhone for our theme and sadly the last day in the Swiss Alps.
Captured with an iPhone 5, post processed in Lightroom using VSCO Film.

Day 49 of 365 (Year Two)
Today was President's Day. Unlike many, but like a whole lot, I had to work today. As much as it may be viewed as an official holiday, I've never worked anywhere that closed on President's day so for me it is just another day. Sure, it is a day of light traffic and an easy commute, but still just another day.
I'm off camping again on Friday, this time to Northumberland near another dark skies forest. So, I thought I would get a bit more practice in this week before I go, especially with a fairly clear night. Still not much to see though!!

February 18th. It's half term but I'm working. Still, it's quiet so I managed to get home this afternoon and take the dog out for a sunny but chilly walk. Oh, and I accidentally took my camera. I've put a vintage effect on this to try and even up all the blue (I'll just repeat that - BLUE) tones. I think it works but would be grateful for your thoughts. Not one, not two but 4 pics in the diptych theme!
And now the post-Christmas blues set in. There's just something depressing about preparing and going all-out for Christmas, and then when it's all over, you ask yourself, now what? :-P
Ah...but we have the New Year to look forward to, eh?!
I...am...tired.
** 30 on explore! yay :-D
OK, so it's not a "captivating or interesting" shot, but these are MY bottles, for Flickr Group Roulette. They are Coca-Cola bottles, of course!! (Christmas special edition...)
