Seeing the world through my viewfinder.
Mugging for the Camera
[Taken 19 November 2014]
I set up my dedicated strobe in preparation for the upcoming family photo, just to make sure I remembered how to work all the settings — how to sync the flash and the camera, where to position the flash, that sort of thing — and Connor immediately jumped off the recliner and in front of the camera lens.
We’ve had “camera time” every evening for three days straight, at his request. I’m guessing he’s not going to have any problems with pictures this year.
New Glasses
[Taken 3 November 2014]
Seems I go four to six years between new prescriptions. This time, I was getting headaches (and was getting tired of my poorly-fitted glasses sliding down my face), so I decided to get a new prescription to rule out eyestrain as a cause of my headaches. Wasn’t the glasses — like four years ago, my prescription barely changed — although the headaches could still be caused by either my neck injury or my orthodontics.
The interior of my new glasses are a turquoise color that really brightens my blue-hazel eyes. I also like the different shape; it opens my eyes and suits my facial structure better than the rectangular frames.
I think so, anyway. So far, I really like them.
Fall Mums
[Taken 23 October 2014]
I saw these on Wednesday evening, as I was walking out with Connor to fetch some garbage that had blown into our yard. I don’t remember seeing them last year — of course, there were so many tall weeds in the borders last year that they might have been hidden.
I just had to take a little photography detour this morning before taking Connor to daycare, since who knows when we’ll get our first killing frost — then all of this will be done until next year.
Kitty Mei
[Taken 4 October 2014]
I don’t take nearly enough pictures of my kitty cat lately, so here’s one of Mei enjoying the sunroom recently.
She’s a healthy kitty, and she’s still pretty active, but she’s ten years old. It makes me sad to think that our time with her is more than half over.
