300 of my best.


As we are coming close to the end of the classes, the photography teacher has asked us to submit 300 of our best shots. Special allowance has been given to "some of us" who have shown a propensity to take photos of small children, to submit those photos instead of the ones we were originally supposed to take. Being photographs of tall buildings, special perspectives, lines, curves, stuff like that.

I wanted to post a picture of one them tall buildings that I had actually photographed but as you can see I got distracted. This is a 12-year old Pokemon tee shirt (of which I have 10 almost identical versions) which I have worn to sleep every night since my second year in university. Well, almost every night. Anyway.

Speaking of antiques, the relocation of Chinatown market to Outram has resulted in my usual vegetable seller disappearing to sell her vegetables somewhere else. So I was forced to buy vegies from a complete stranger last Sunday. Boy was I surprised when I didn't have to throw out 50% of my silk squash because it was too old. And it was cheaper! I believe my previous vegie seller was charging me a premium because I was buying some genuine antiques from her. My maid suggested once that if we waited a few days, we could dry out the squash and use it as a loofah.

  2. Ugh. A fair number of them are already posted on this blog. I'd photoshop them but we are not allowed.

    It burns me that www.flickr.com is full of beautiful fantastic photographs taken by amateur photographers (as well as professionals) but their skills and knowhow still escape me.

  6. You should see him in my suit jacket! It kills me every time - from the back and with the tail of the jacket skimming the floor, it looks like someone sawed a mannequin in half and gave it wheels and a small head.

    One day when he's less resistant, I'll get a photo.
