Photo a Day: Patches Edition


Jen’s in the office today. As I watched her pull out of the driveway I couldn’t help but notice that the sky looked really cool. I had a bag of bird seed to put out today so I took my camera when I went outside and took today’s photo-a-day picture.
I also tried and failed to get a cool pic of the sun through the trees.
I also did another one of these stinkers.
And there you have it. My quick trip to the backyard on this day that I fear is going to be a royally shitty day. The good news though, Harry comes home tomorrow and Bellana comes home on Sunday. That will make it all better.
Weather wise, today is an absolutely shitty day. Everything else wise it’s pretty crappy too.
I did take a picture of this bird though. As I was focusing the point and shoot there were actually two birds, but one of them flew away like the fucking asswipe he was.
Day 72. It was either this or yet another picture of the cat curled up on the couch.
I snuck a pic in for the photo a day just before turning in for the night.
What do you think… next year’s photo a day done entirely on film?
I took three pics around the house this morning because I couldn’t decide which one should be the official pic for today.
And the winner is that cat, because it’s always the cat.
I tried to goad myself into playing the guitar at lunch today. I even took a picture for the photo a day thing.
Nope. I had a bad reaction to a piece of chicken instead. I guess it was just too big of a bite. It took me three hours to get through 4.4 oz of chicken, but one hour of that was just dealing with stomach pain and nausea and another hour was spent in a meeting at work. You know how it is.
Speaking of problems eating that stem from my gastric bypass surgery, the organization that determines the rules for qualifying for weight loss surgery has just rewritten those rules. They lowered the BMI requirement from 35 to 30. According to that I still qualify. My BMI is 34.4 even after losing 169 pounds. Can they bypass more of my stomach? WOOHOO!
I am not necessarily planning on putting all of the photo a day stuff onto the blog, that’s what Flickr is for, but I’m putting up yesterday and today because I can… I guess.
Yesterday:
Today:
I am 13.69% finished with this year’s photo a day. Fascinating, yes?
Still planning to go with black and white once the film comes back into play. A couple of weeks, I think. Be prepared. I’m going to use Dad’s camera with his zoom lens to start with. I took a few shots with that lens before, but they were all on rolls that either jammed and got exposed when I had to open the back of the camera to fix the jam, or they were on the roll that broke. I’m also planning on getting (or trying to get) an adapter so that I can use Dad’s 50mm prime lens on my ebay Nikon. We’ll see.
