Woo hoo! This is photo #300 for my Photo-a-Day. If you're on Flickr, check out my Photo-a-Day blog. If you're on the blog, check out my Photo-a-Day set on Flickr. For everyone, enjoy the slideshow! Oh yeah, this is a compound saw, with a cool shadow outside.

Here's another upside to washing your hands (you find more photos to take).

Hanging out with the baby (not mine, fyi).

This looks cooler viewed large. btw, these are my teacher's editions.

Irwindale church

Irwindale church, originally uploaded by billaday.

I was driving down the street when I noticed the dilapidated roof and crazy shadows. Without looking, I aimed my camera and shot. A quick crop made for a nice shot. I've recently been mesmerized by these shots from one of my Flickr contacts. I was shooting for a similar idea...

EQ

This is my bass amp head. It's vintage, and it powers the speaker that's also old/vintage.

Depth

Is it too obvious what this is? (I think so.)
Either way, it looks awesomer large.

Whiffle

That's a whiffle ball on top of a piece of bamboo. And yes, I accidentally got my foot in the frame.

This mailbox has more character than some people I know.

the sky is actually falling

the sky is actually falling, originally uploaded by billaday.

It basically looked like this--there was a big gaping hole in the clouds. I know it's the sun, but it sure didn't look like it. I've never really seen this before (except in T2 and The Matrix).

Dirty nighttime windshield

Dirty nighttime windshield, originally uploaded by billaday.

Here's a one second exposure, while I waited for the green light to go home.
Red: street light,
yellow: street lamp,
blue: moon,
blurry thing: a car passing.
(Yeah, I know, my windshield needs a good washing, but it adds character to the scene.)

Shopping center

Shopping center, originally uploaded by billaday.

I think this is my first official panoramic photo-a-day. This is the new Glendora shopping center--270 degrees. It's a bummer, and yet convenient; this used to be a strawberry field. Now it's not, but it does look great when you View On Black.

the edge of the house thing

the edge of the house thing, originally uploaded by billaday.

What is this part of the house called? I don't know, but I do know that the light (and shadow) on it is pretty nice during sunset.

Being Bill Malkovich

This is a reflection; it is NOT photoshopped. I'm proud myself for avoiding Photoshop in this case ( because usually I seek it out).

The drinking fountain

Here's Andrew, the fountain that is drinking.

Dorky camera info:
shutter .8 sec
flash is slow synchro

Stop and smell the palm trees

Stop and smell the palm trees, originally uploaded by billaday.

Sure, most people stop and smell the roses, but that's just cuz they're closer to the ground.

Half moon (not the bay)

Half moon (not the bay), originally uploaded by billaday.

The weather's nice, the sky is black, the moon is finally in focus (for me).

Cycling

Cycling, originally uploaded by billaday.

Manny and I went for a really long bike ride today. I'm really tired now.

Evolution of a Shoe

Evolution of a Shoe, originally uploaded by billaday.

Here's my childhood shoe and my grandpa's childhood shoe. Both are bronzed. It's fascinating how far shoes have come--they definitely don't make 'em like that anymore

My car looks neato.
