5 Good Things:
1: Getting to go home at noon on a Friday (Thanks boss) 2: Coming sooo close to completing my calendar (Barbara... I will be bringing them with me) 3: Leaving for Prague in less than 5 days 4: Seeing family this weekend 5: Homemade mac n' cheese!
The shoes always tell the story,' said the shoe poet.
'Not always,' I countered.
'Yes, always. Your boots, they are expensive, well made. That tells me that you come from a wealthy family. But the style is one made for and older woman. That tell me they probably belong to your mother. A mother sacrificed her boots for her daughter. That tells me you are loved, my dear. And your mother is not here, so that tells me that you are sad, my dear. The shoes tell the story.

Love is a phantom thread. We don’t feel it much till it breaks and only things are left behind.
Strictly speaking a confluence is a meeting of rivers/streams, but here I see a meeting of streams of air between closely packed buildings in a crowded London.
I look forward to returning here with my fish-eye lens.
Each eye of a chameleon operates independently of the other. When both eyes are looking in the same direction it means they are focusing on something. In this case it was me. The view is from directly above the lizard.
I was really excited for the chance to spend some time outdoors this weekend. We always do our weekly shopping on Saturdays so this weekend, we stopped downtown to go for a little walk in the late afternoon sun and to possibly grab a hot drink.
I knew the shot that I wanted to get since we only have a limited number of large buildings in our area. I also happened to follow a friend on Instagram who inspired me to go and do my own "looking up" shot. What was funny, is when we made our way to the corner where this building is, there was another group of people toting their cameras around doing the same thing.
I find these types of shots (along with the iPhone perspective shots) to be difficult to compose and execute. Getting things exactly centered can be a bit more tricky than it looks. The more symmetrical your scene is, the more difficult it is to keep completely straight. It isn't until after in post where you find where things may not be as straight as you would like.
I wish there were more sky-scrapers in Regina to get in more experience using different architecture. That being said, you may see some doubles of the same building. I am hoping to go back to this spot for a day when there is some decent cloud cover and stretch some exposures right out.
