day 77: screwed... keep running out of time due to working overtime. happy to be employed. not happy to have to rush work. nature of the field i am in i suppose.

day 76: still raining... snagged a dandelion on the way in the door after work. set up an off camera flash shot through a chinese food container (cheap semi-opaque container) and set the flower... ok, weed on a lightbox. the water droplets seen are actual rain drops... ok, toxic droplets from south new jersey. i used a Lightroom Preset setting named "selenium tone". inspired by James Hill.

day 75: the wife decided it would be nice if i smelled like something other than gasoline and irish spring soap. se we stopped by a macy's sniffin' booth. instant light head and buzz from all the smells. a woman (more like joan rivers with an adam's apple) approached and asked what scent i was looking for. i said "nothing floral... something 'man-citrus'...." wish i could have retrieved THAT statement from the air. my wife was trying not to crack up. at this a rather tim gunn type of individual said ever so creepily "i can put some on your skin". i could feel my wife's eyes burning into the back of my skull... she knew what i was thinking. "put ANYTHING on my skin and i will put you to sleep for a month." instead i said "i'm good, bro". needless to say, joan (or john as joan) rivers got the sale. now i smell like gasoline with a twist of citrus summer.

day 74: rainy may. this is a shot of our clothesline. my wife has been hounding me to hang the line for about 3 months. as SOON as the line went up the rain came down. uncanny. we call this line the "beheader" as it is rubber coated steel. getting "clotheslined" by this insures breathing problems or loss of one's head.

day 73: back to my fence jumping ways! stopped at the soon-to-be-gone strawbridge & clothier building (built in 1951) on governor prince boulevard near wilmington, delaware. i scooted over a fence to get inside to snag some quick shots. there are a few more in the "abandoned" gallery. i didn't venture upstairs as there was a lot of loose chunks of concrete hanging from bent rebar. i remember this building when i was a kid so i am a bit blue. my wife and kids were out in the car so i didn't have the time i wanted to snoop around.

day 72: lazy to the point of doing a self-portrait. have only been getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night due to work. shot this in our kitchen. as soon as i started setting up for the shot my kids decided to mill around the area like ants at a picnic. need to work on my lighting skills. have a nikon sb24 off camera to the right shooting through a plastic container from a chinese restaurant and a set of shop lights aimed at the ceiling to my left. and then have the camera's fill flash set to it's lowest setting. post-shot i used lightroom to over expose a bit and then smacked an "aged photo" filter on it and tweaked the blacks.

day 71: dog tired dirty dogs. i think my 2 year old must run laps in dirt... or our dyson isn't really all that good at picking up dirt... or we really live in a log cabin with dirt floors.

day 70: one of our copy writers has a son who lives in japan, speaks fluent japanese and sends items back to his dad. this shot is a block of chocolate. he also had a box of what appeared to be a biscuit and was supposed to be cheese... if offered some i would have to pass. looked like something you would bait a rat trap with. if the copy writer doesn't show up tomorrow i wouldn't be surprised. thought the package looked cool and i just am plain out of time yet again to do anything crazy today... hoping for my workload to ease up.

day 69: not much is more off-setting than working alone late and then hearing the off key giggle of a toy baby doll!? the sound alone is way too rob zombie movie for me. if i saw McGiggles floating then i would have missed today's photo post as i would still be running far away from my house! no "floatage" so i figured i could stick around long enough to get a photo. here is the normal shot lit with an ipod touch using the flashlight app.

day 77: screwed... keep running out of time due to working overtime. happy to be employed. not happy to have to rush work. nature of the field i am in i suppose.
