Lathe detail: Photo a day #65

Had the urge to shoot indoors today, which is odd because the weather outside is great.

City Police West Division Station: Photo a day #64

I got to scramble up (and later slide down) a snow pile last night to get this shot.

Grierson Centre: Photo a day #63

I saw this building while I was getting my picture of HECLA Block a little while back, had no idea it was a minimum security prison ...

Signage: Photo a day #62

I find the signage on this store really eye-catching, not necessarily aesthetically pleasing, but eye-catching ...

Weekend shots: Photo a day #59, #60, and #61

My goal for the weekend was to shoot some buildings with the D80 ... the weather wasn't exactly ideal but I managed. Not crazy about Friday's pic, but quite like the way the colours mixed inside/outside the buildings on Saturday and Sunday.

March 25 2011, Photo a day #59 - St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church

March 26 2011, Photo a day #60 - Spartan Centre for Instrumentation Technology (at NAIT)

March 27 2011, Photo a day #61 - Coronation Pool

Guitar: Photo a day #58

One of my favourite subjects, this guitar also featured my pictures from Day 33 and Day 11. I'm still itching to get out and do some architecture and cityscape shooting with my new camera, hopefully there will be some of that over the weekend!

Torch: Photo a day #57

First daily photo with my D80

New camera: Photo a day #56

Well ... new to me anyway. Replacing my trusty D40 with the slightly higher end D80.

Outside City Hall: Photo a day #55

Edmonton's City Hall is quite a nice building as a whole, yesterday's shot was just one of the exterior walls though.

Weekend shots: Photo a day #53 and #54

Another church as a subject on Saturday, I love the light and the lens flare from the cropped out street lamp on the left!

March 19 2011, Photo a day #53 - St. Andrew's Catholic Church

I didn't stop to check the history on the building near downtown I shot on Sunday, but I liked the look of it.

March 20 2011, Photo a day #54 - HECLA Block

Cracks in the ice: Photo a day #52

At the risk of jinxing it, it kind feels like spring. The melting during the day and freezing at night is created quite the interesting ice covered puddle at my lab today. Here are some cracks in the ice

St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Parish: Photo a day #51

The story yesterday: Another church, another overcast day, another picture!

Playing catch-up: Photo a day #49 and #50

There never seem to be enough hours in the day, just got around to the pictures from yesterday and the day before.

Tuesday I took a shot of downtown, not crazy about the construction and the cloudy skies, but it happens.

March 15 2011. Photo a day #49 - Downtown from Shoctor Alley

Wednesday I saw a fly that I thought was frozen on a snow pile, a couple of hours later I saw him climbing very slowly up it.

March 16 2011, Photo a day #50 - Fly

Architectural Contrast: Photo a day #48

I like the use of brick along with compartively sleek, modern finishes

Pierced again

I got my nipples pierced on Saturday.  It hurt like hell but the healing has been entirely painless!

Up to 12 (current) piercings now.

Weekend shots: Photo a day #46 and #47

Decided on another church as a subject on Saturday.

March 12 2011, Photo a day #46 - Holy Rosary Church

Sunday I happened to get stuck at a train crossing as daylight waned and I was able to get a few pictures from my open car window.

March 13 2011, Photo a day #47 - Train

Sparks: Photo a day #45

Took this shot just to see how it would come out. I was completely pleased, no post-processing.

More fill work done

I sat yesterday to get my lens aperture tattoo filled, thrilled with the results. I'll still be back for one more sitting to make the lines between the aperture blades thicker.

Laser: Photo a day #44

I only took one try at this particular shot of a laser level, hesitant because of the potential to damage either my camera's image sensor or my eye through the viewfinder. On the camera's LCD it looked like it didn't turn out at all, but I was fairly pleased when I opened it on my computer.

Don't try this at home!

Old Strathcona post office: Photo a day #43

Actually two for one today. This old post office building now houses a couple of bars and an Italian restaurant.

Icicles: Photo a day #42

The icicles are bending strangely on my propane shack, couldn't capture it in a picture very well though.

St. George's Ukrainian Catholic Church: Photo a day #41

I think I mentioned I like churches.

Norwood School: Photo a day #40

More architecture today, under nice blue skies for a change!

Starlite Room: Photo a day #39

It was snowing and overcast today, but I've been itching to shoot outside. Since I went to see a show at the Starlite Room last night it seemed like a fairly decent subject

Knot: Photo a day #38

This rope is great, two days of pictures and quite a few decent out-takes I might be able to post up later. I'm not sure how I managed this terrible lighting, but I kind of like the way it came out.

Rope: Photo a day #37

Picks: Photo a day #36

Still suffering in the depths of winter's despair, so more pictures of stuff I have laying around.

Fountain: Photo a day #35

Had a hell of a time getting a decent shot today. You, good reader, were nearly treated to a picture of a lens cap. Thankfully it didn't come to that ...
