Day 181 - Another One Bites the Dust

This was taken at the Davis Centre today during the UW Photo Club meeting. It was colour-themed and my particular colour was black. I kind of failed it and just took a photo for my 365.

I'm kind of a disaster this week. The state of my room scares me each time I enter. I have a list of things to do and I think I have already forgotten some of those things. I cannot wait to organize myself again.

Day 180 - Lunch at Sushi 99

We went to all-you-can-eat sushi at Sushi 99 and we stuffed ourselves to the limit. I had a good weekend but I am a little behind in my work now. I shall have to make up for it and catch up this week.

Day 179 - Allo Allo

Today my friend chihuahuandchinchilla came down to Waterloo and we explored uptown. It was quite a successful adventure. We found lots of cute local shops and did a bit of shopping. Afterwards we went and tested my newly bought snowboard. I shall master it eventually!

Day 178 - Proud Snowboard Owner

I got my paycheck today. Hopefully it was not a rash decision to spend a fraction of that on a snowboard, bindings and boots. It saves a lot of rental fees in the long run. I shall have more photos of my adventures with it later.

Day 177 - Ready for Flight

I bought this a while ago and I'm not entirely sure what the function of it is. It's kind of like a giant safety pin with a bunch of charms on it and I think it's supposed to act as a fashion accessory or something. I think I'll just take photos of it.

Day 176 - 4 Lens Lomo Camera

I'm really behind right now. I am only taking one course this semester and somehow I am four or five lectures behind, with an assignment due sometime soon and an upcoming midterm too. I guess I shall have to try a little harder.

This is a camera that I bought online for about $15. I have yet to develop a roll of film on it yet but I am super excited. I love toy cameras.

Day 175 - Beadie Buddies Squirrels

I made these last summer out of strings and beads. I used the same method to make the chick that I posted a while ago.

They were quite fun to do. I remember watching a Harry Potter marathon while making these. I'm happy with how the focus is. You can actually see the dust on the beads of the squirrel.

Day 174 - Monopoly Mayhem

Today for Family Day, my cousins came over and we pretty much played Monopoly all day. It was pretty intense. It always gets tiring in the end. It will forever be one of my favourite board games of all time though.

Day 173 - Disco Ball

My friend used to work at a dining hall and then it closed down. My friend asked for the disco ball and they gave it to her. It's surprisingly heavy.

Day 172 - Origami Flowers

I'm back in Windsor! I always get homesick after about a month without seeing my parents. It's always so nice to be at home and be spoiled and not have to worry about anything.

This is a photo of some origami flowers. The focus was a bit off, but I'll get it eventually.

Day 171 - Wallet Pattern

Another close call today. I've been quite the busy one today. After work, I went snowboarding with my friend and it was lovely and painful at the same time. I'm starting to be able to control the snowboard!

I'm heading to Windsor tomorrow for the long weekend. It's been a while since I've gone back. I still have lots of packing to do. I was also hoping to clean my room but it looks like that's not going to happen today.

Day 170 - Depressed Flower

Those close-up filters really are interesting. It makes everything distorted but I kind of like how it is in this photo.

Day 169 - Squirrel Eating Grilled Cheese Sandwich

There were about five squirrels gathering today eating several grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not sure why there were so many grilled cheeses tossed away but the squirrels seemed to enjoy them. I wish I had a zoom lens with me to get closer but this was the best I could do.

Day 168 - Silver Steal

I bought a silver dress today for $5 (technically it was on sale AND I had a coupon) but the point is I ended up paying only $5 for pretty much a full outfit. This is a quick shot of the fabric it's made out of. I was pretty impressed with my find.

I barely made my photo on time today. I wanted to do something with my flash today and I was playing around and didn't get any good shots at all. I have however, learned a few things and will implement some ideas some other day.

On another note, I'm starting to feel a little better now.

Day 167 - Red Velvet Cake

This cheesecake was delicious.

Day 166 - Icy Unknown

Winter does some crazy things.

Day 165 - Help Me I Can't Get Out

I'm finally happy with a photo. I'm not feeling too well right now.

Day 164 - The Path

I'm not very fond of this photo at all, but I only have my compact digital camera with me and I was really cold and so I didn't want to take any more photos. I would like to allocate more time in the future for this Project 365 so I can take photos that I can be proud of.

Day 163 - Lock It

This is a photo of a lock. There's not much to say. I'm exhausted today for some reason. I need more sleep.

Day 162 - McDonald's Cone

I went to McDonald's today. It was the first time this year so I guess that's not too bad. I always feel kind of guilty after I eat their food there. Oh well, it's only once in a while.

Day 161 - The Switch Pitch

I'm surprised I have never posted this before. This is the magnificent Switch Pitch. It's hard to show you through a photo exactly what it does, so I shall redirect you to this video which gives a glimpse of how awesome this toy is.

I had some trouble with this shot. I wanted to use my flash, and it was so heavy. I used the other hand to try and throw the Switch Pitch in the air and I was trying to focus at the same time. I think I sort of like what I ended up with. There's a weird vignette-like effect but I decided to keep that.

Day 160 - E5

At a UW Photo Club meeting right now. I am afraid I won't make it home by midnight. This is a photo of our university's newest building, Engineering 5.

Day 159 - Knit Graffiti

Today on my way to the university darkroom I was lost trying to find the entrance and came across this. I've seen these "knit graffiti" a few times now and they're very amusing to me. I would imagine it would be awkward being caught in the moment while you're knitting to the tree.

Day 158 - Non-Stop Snow

Today was relaxing and I would say productive too. It was a very nice day in the morning. I went for a swim and actually walked home for once. I finally did laundry and cleaned my room too. I feel quite accomplished.

Day 157 - Brownie Addiction Dessert

It's Friday! We went to Boston Pizza and couldn't resist getting dessert. I usually avoid buying desserts in restaurant but exceptions should be made every once in a while.

Day 156 - Speaker Splash

Today was a good day. I completed my midterm and I think it went well, although you can never really tell. Afterwards, UW Photo Club had a high-speed photography meeting today. I actually like some of the shots that I got. While sharing, I saw a lot of amazing shots taken by other people too.

This shot is actually of a speaker and using sound waves to generate movement. I won't actually say too much more because in all honesty... I didn't have any idea how it all worked.

Day 155 - Blinds

My photos lately have been lacking colour. I'll get on that soon. I also miss taking photos outside, but it's just too cold.

These are my blinds. I knew I would take a photo of them eventually. My head hurts today. I have a midterm tomorrow. My thoughts are really disjointed and incoherent today.

Day 154 - Digital Hello

I spent a long time wandering my room looking for a photo to take. It almost feels like I've taken a photo of everything in my room already. I'm going to have to get more creative if I want the rest of my shots to be remotely interesting. I'm studying for my statistics midterm on Thursday, so my calculator became the subject.
