A Tisket a Tasket...

The gorgeous weather yesterday allowed me to get outside for a much needed shoot. I had wanted to begin working on a specific project, but a few of the locations I needed to shoot were under construction and very un-photogenic...unfortunately. Instead, I trotted around town on foot looking for anything that caught my eye. The result - one of the best shoots I've had yet! At least...I was pleased with the results.

View the rest on my flickr.

Pixelate my childhood, please!

Remember the good old days of Atari and the original Nintendo and the hours crappy graphics and thumb aching entertainment? It wasn't so scary back then and pixelation really helped take it down a notch. But what if these...things, invaded the world? No...really.
Not only did French director Patrick Jean create this insanely awesome retro pixel invasion...but he leaves me thinking that although Earth could actually look pretty sweet pixelated...I'm now more scared of Tetris than I have ever been, at 27.

T-G-I-F!

It's the end of a work week, thank God! Some of us work for the weekend and usually makes Friday just a little easier to deal with work-wise. We're pretty much checked out anyway...at least I am. Hence why I'm blogging rather than focusing on print specs and mail lists. Meh.
I'm about to start a new photography project this weekend (completely unrelated to Friday) and it's left me feeling a little photo antsy. Being that it's Friday I want to know what TGIF looks like to you!

Here's what I wish Friday still sometimes looked like to me...

 Long Beach - Ocean and Temple

This is not my photo, but it's what some of my days use to look like. This was the end of my street in Long Beach, and that's my BestFriendRoommatePerson (BFRP), now former roommate but forever best friend. I miss her and this view every single day and wish this is still how it was (LE SIGH). Did I mention I could see the top of the (derrick) highest point of that island from my bedroom balcony? Great photo, yeah? She's also a great photographer.

And here are a few random TGIF favorites...

It's Friday, I'm in love...

When I went into flickr and typed in "Happy Friday" oddly, a lot of the photos are flowers and animals. I don't look at a dog and think "yay Friday!" However, this one made it into the mix because...duh, he's effing adorable and...a beagle, FTW!

Happy Floppy Friday!
