Disguise Day

Wow...I'm literally a week behind on blog posts. Please dear readers (all 2 of you) forgive me for the tardiness. The only valid excuse I have, sinus infection. Yes...a terrible sinus infection. I have heartburn from the antibiotics to prove it! How weird is it that I've never had heartburn (as far as I know) until I started these meds? Seems pretty weird to me.

So a week later...what day was this for? Ah, yes....Saturday April 16. I took my camera to work (for the first time) because I had intended to photograph downtown Pineville at night on the way home. This just so happen to be a 'themed' day at work...we could wear disguises. Guess who was there with her camera? That's right, me! Everyone had a good laugh.

Robby-The original Cheech & Chong of the day.

Rebecca with her awesome hat

Justin...looking rather homeless.

Johnny...looking like a construction worker.

Adam...looking kinda normal

Westley and his one word caption, "QUEUE" lol

I had such a great time taking those pictures. I'm sure that was the point to the whole day any way.

It was much easier to be serious, alone at night in Pineville. I put my tripod to good use due to the lighting. I'm pleased with most of the photos.

I was not concerned if the building was centered in this photo. I was only concerned with what my camera could handle in terms of lighting.

Sorry this is so late...fingers crossed I will accomplish more tomorrow!

Strung Up

1:23am...I've just worked 10 hours and I'm sitting in my PJ's rubbing my eyes. Another accomplishment? 3 more photos added to the month of March and another day closer to the end of this project.

I purposefully did not take my camera along for the ride to work today. I need to stop being lazy. Instead of just photographing the mountains and sun (or rain) I need to get the creative juices flowing ya know? Tonight's photos are simple...yet alluring in their own weird way. As odd as it may seem, I love lights. Yes yes I know, Ms. "I try to be all dark and evil" loves lights? It's true. The obsession with stringing Christmas lights on the celing didn't end in High School for me. 3 rooms in my home has them strung up. Yeah...I love lights.

This set of lights are strung up in the bedroom. :)

Enjoy.

Until tomorrow,

Mika.
