This picture comes from a friend asking me to make a shot with "procrastination" as theme: this is what came out, I hope you can appreciate it.
I decided to try to upload some pictures taken with my mobile phone (Sony Xperia Z1) I already had on Instagram: I was basically having fun looking at what I could do with more technical limitations.
Some of the things I got up to when I ran out of inspiration for the project that actually NEEDS doing.
Lavender heart sachets that I was suppose to deliver to a shop last week. I found every reason possible to not work on them. It's midnight and I just got home from work. Guess what I have to do before I get to go to bed. The price of procrastination.... ugh.
It is a lifestyle. I spent most of my afternoon and well into the night obscessing over a small problem I needed to fix. I took my camera out early this afternoon but had a dog with me so she occupied the seat my camera likes. Tonight when I went out a second time I forgot it. as the last seconds ticked down to midnight I paniced and had to shoot something for the challenge and my 365. So here it is captured seconds before midnight. Thank goodness for fast flashes for I am often under the gun.

I drive by this little log cabin in the quakies, close to the Idaho Montana border, every time I drive to Yellowstone. For years and years as I drive by I always think about stopping and capturing this spot, but it seems I can always find a reason to push North up the road. Now that the roof has collapsed, I've finally gotten around to making this simple stop... I think there is a word for that!
Procrastinated today's shot again. AND my camera's battery died so I had to recharge. Maybe that's a good thing. I had time to get some inspiration.
Anyway, I sort of like this photo. It's pretty daring for me. And I look exhausted....this is what happens when you procrastinate your photos every day...haha. :]
I wanted to thank everyone for your overwhelming support during this 365. Anyone who has commented or favorited a photo....it is so appreciated, you have no idea...I love you all.

It is a fine art form, not many can do. There is discipline involved and perseverance. It does not lie in just anyone's bones to twiddle thumbs, or wood - or hair. Some motivation is required to, to make you want to do it. Pep talks, and a few hours of surfing the web. Ah yes, a true Procrastinator must practice to reach excellence.

I'm supposed to be doing yardwork. Instead, I'm taking pictures of the yardwork.

'Never put off until tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow.'

I shot this Klein bottle in a dark room, and illuminated it using a red laser pointer.
The Klein bottle has a little water inside (i.e. outside). View On Black

The usual messy book shelves. I am trying to rearrange them - but usually end up looking at the books instead. Great excuse for procrastination = as if I ever needed that.
My "lego" block Nikon F is put aside for the moment as we have had visits from small kids and expect another in a couple of weeks. Would be too tempting for a 6 year old.
"The Procrastinator's Hereafter. Take a friend's advice: Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today--Answer that letter." Sign: "Bottomless Pit Drop In."
Pity the poor procrastinator who doesn't answer his letters! This pathetic fellow obviously failed to keep up with his correspondence while he was alive, and now in the "hereafter" the devil is looking over his shoulder to make sure he responds on time--and for all time!
In order to avoid falling into the fiery "Bottomless Pit" below, the procrastinator is precariously perched on an endless roll of paper as he scribbles out his message. The last few lines he's written on the paper suggest that he's trying to explain away his current predicament: "...in my new home. Although everything is up to sample, I'm not stuck on the place but circumstances over which I have no control impel me to stick...."

I'm curious how much others procrastinate over shots they put up?
I seem to be getting worse as time goes by - previously I'd just post any old thing but now I worry about them tooooo much I think. Maybe I should just chuck em out there and leave it to people to view them ? Anyone got any thoughts on this ?
taken August 06 in County Cork.
and best viewed large imho!
no photoshop on the colours at all :-)
only cropped to get rid of nasty telephone wires at the top and crappy bushes that served no purpose in the photo at the bottom !
oh and this was a full on zoom of the same scene.
That is the moral of this photograph. I was not happy that this was sharp enough and kept meaning to go back to this spot and this puddle (sad life I lead...Lol!!) but I never got round to it until the other night and the petrol station has closed down!!
A truly Machiavellian woman. There is no better way to describe the Iron Lady of Elavia. Simultaneously of a steely disposition and a silver tongue, Marquise Reglay is one of the, if not the finest of aristocratic minds in all Roawia, let alone Lenfald. The youngest of 9 siblings, and a girl to boot, the Marquise adroitly outmaneuvered her father, and all 8 of her siblings to place herself on her family's seat of power all without spilling a single drop of blood. Ruthlessly effective, and cunning to a fault, Marquise Reglay is well-known for always coming out on top in virtually every scenario she is placed in. Two weeks before a Loreesi army detachment reached Elavia during the War of Loreesi Aggression, all citizens of the region were ordered not to drink from any of the wells within a hundred miles of the city, instead being issued rations of water from alternative sources. Reportedly, the Loreesi Army detachment, over 5,000 souls, their horses, and elephants fell gravely ill and perished within a week, only a day's ride from the gates of Elavia. Not a single drop of Lenfel blood was spilled: furthermore, after the wellwater was inspected by Lenfel forces who had accused the Marquis of war crimes it was found to be quite drinkable and seemingly un-tampered with. Her involvement in the issue was never proven. During the Reign of Queen Galanir, Elavia was notably silent during the entire time the Queen held sway. A veritable dead zone, no one of the rest of Lenfald or of the Queen heard from Elavia until the Queen's power had loosened. Upon inspection of Elavia by an army sent to "liberate" the city, Elavia was found to be in perfect order, with not a single dragon to be found in the entire city. When asked about it, the Marquise easily deflected the questions and provided no solid answers. Marquise Reglay is also well-known for giving the aristocratic backing necessary to form the now-legendary mercenary company: The Emerald Wolves, in exchange for an undisclosed favor, and the permanent assignment of protecting Elavia with no less than 1/6 of their total forces, effectively granting the region with a large, self-maintaining standing army at no cost. It is unknown what her contribution to the upcoming high council may be, but whatever the outcome, the Iron Lady is certain to benefit.
