I took a picture of this can last December. Someone recently tweaked it, and I've been thinking about how cool cans can be.

So here's a wide angle shot of a can. It's a good stock shot. The whiteground is my sink (it worked really well).

Day 292

factory

Driving home is pretty cool sometimes. I drove through Irwindale, where it's industrial and dirty. I've passed this building before, and the vintage-ness of it usually catches my eye. I wonder what this building is used for. It looks so old.

Day 291

drip

Occasionally, it gets to be 8pm and I haven't taken a photo-a-day-type photo. This was one of those days. So I took my camera and marched into the bathroom. After taking some lame Q-tip photos, I saw my faucet drip. That was the A-ha moment. Yes, A-ha, as in "Take On Me."

Day 290

red light, green light, yellow light

No photoshop trickery here.

Exposure time: 6 seconds.

I guess this is why people can't save up time. They would end up crashing their cars at intersections.

Sorry, that joke wasn't funny. That was hardly even a joke. But the cool photo makes up for it.

Remember that childhood game, Red Light, Green Light? Yeah.

Day 289

Fun with grain

ok, honesty time.

I took some really cool pictures, but they were of my kindergarten students for our newsletter. On the way home, I realized that I hadn't taken any shots of stuff that I can post online. So I snapped this after depositing a check. Trust me, I had some other way better shots. However, I spent some time with a Photoshop plug-in Exposure, and added some nice grain.

Day 288

Isabelle on the phone

That's the wife. She was talking to a friend who is gonna have a baby soon. Her friend lives far away, so they talk on the phone (instead of in person). Isabelle was happy to hear from her friend, and I was happy to photograph it.

Day 287

palm trees and animal fries

I really enjoy In-N-Out. Whenever I'm there, I want to take pictures. It's a mixture of having a really cool (and clean) looking place, and wanting to remember the smell of grilled onions. I've taken a few In-N-Out shots for my photo-a-day, so I was thinking of more interesting angles, and different ways of telling the In-N-Out story, if you will. I like the giant logo in the background.
