So, I'm not too happy with this one and neither was my camera when I shook it awake this morning. It was in a bad mood and said, "Dude! Turn the light back off! My iris hasn't adjusted yet. Can't you just give me thirty more minutes?"
Then it began to berate me on how this was a shitty angle and, "Go shave man, you look like a damn fool... wait... that shirt again!?! Seriously?"
"I'm going out tonight," I said, "and none of my friends have seen it yet. Plus, scruffy is IN, asshole. I'm sending you with Mother to Colorado for pictures of my pissy over-dramatic Aunts. I'll find some other way to continue my 365 over the weekend."

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
May have to resort to my iSight or Film for the weekend.
Symbols Of Versatility - Ducks
If you are lucky enough to live in a part of the world that is also a home to ducks, you will no doubt be familiar with the image of their cute feathery bottoms sticking up in the air as their heads disappear under the surface of the water. Perhaps you’ve even taken a moment to wonder what they see in their underwater world, and if they will resurface with a fish or a water bug in their beaks. As we observe them, we see that ducks are denizens of three worlds—the world of air, the world of water, and the world of earth. As such, they have adapted themselves to be able to swim, fly, and walk, and they seek and find nourishment in more than one place. They are symbols of versatility and can inspire us to explore our own ability to adapt and find nourishment in a variety of places.
Ducks are able to float, swim, and dive into the water, fishing for food. They can walk on the ground, eating vegetation and bugs, and they fly in the air to travel long distances relatively quickly. Equipped with feet that are equally good at paddling and walking, as well as wings to fly, ducks seem comfortable in just about any natural environment. Next time you see a duck bottom, you might be inspired to examine your own ability to both float on the surface and to dive beneath it. In many traditions, water symbolizes the emotions—to duck our heads into our emotions means we are able to surrender our minds to our hearts, to go into the watery realm of feeling and see what there is to see, often coming to the surface with nourishment and treasure.
At the same time, we share the duck's ability to get solid ground under our feet by connecting to the earth on which we live simply by walking on it. And finally, when we reside in our spirits, we fly above the mental, emotional, and material realms, free of all the ties that bind us to this earth, traveling faster and farther than we ever thought possible.
Wakeup campaign is a campaign striving for equality, development and sustainability in developing and developed countries. The aim is not to dictate or force development issues onto people, instead it is to raise awareness by stimulating and awakening people visually by using design methods to develop people’s consciousness. One doesn’t have to be a millionaire nor a celebrity to help people suffering in developing or developed countries, one should not wait until a catastrophic event before helping, many things can be done.
Wakeup campaign uses interactive, engaging techniques (methods and processes) such as role play, design activities, craft work shops and loads more to help spread the issues of development in a social way for a sense of responsibility and duty to be conjured up, and effectively, begin to see not only change in people’s attitudes or perceptions, but begin to see actions, positive measures and steps towards a brighter future.
Wakeup campaign has already featured in local newspapers, magazines, zines, radio and many art/design and fashion blogs as well as having a presence in two successful pop up stores in Brixton Village Market and Carnaby Street. The campaign is reaching a wide, diverse audience and working to continue this by delivering quality, factual and engaging methods to further the success of the movement.
