Day 118


Yesterday was another full-ish day. I had my last spanish class, old testament, shower!, last fysx class, then lunch where I sat in the caf for an hour & a half with some friends just wasting time. I did go to the gym again with my friend (3rd day in a row!!) yesterday night so when I got back it was dark and probably after 10:00pm. I didn't know what to photograph but I was inspired by my tennis shoes because I had worn them over the past 3 days more than I had probably over the past month. I thought I could put them on the floor and get down on the floor with my camera myself to take a decent picture using the floor as a stabilizer because the lighting was low. How it ended up was that the depth of field wasn't focused on anything but the carpet. I thought it came out neat though to see the random strip of in-focus carpet then have my very blurry tennis shoes at the back of the picture. I like it because it is unique among my pictures so far in this project. :)

Day 117


Yesterday, April 27, 2010, was a pretty average tuesday. Unfortunately it was breezy & chilly outside which just isn't something I like in the end of April...I've gotten used to the hot, sunny weather! Anyways, I had my next to last spanish & education class and my last choir rehearsal for the year. The choir listened to our recording from our final concert two sundays ago. After classes I wasted a lot of time going through some random old pictures on my computer & hard drive because I had no homework. Oh yeah...I wasted between 3-4 hours just sleeping :). It was quite the lovely afternoon nap. For a picture I didn't really have much inspiration. It was cold outside & the sun had set. So I looked around on my desk, saw an old name tag I'd stuck on my desk, & photographed it. It's not a great picture but hey it's better than nothing!

Day 116


Yesterday was a pretty good day. It was full of the normal homework load, as usual, but I was slightly productive in a different way than normal by going to the gym with some friends & working out on the bikes for 45 minutes (I got in 10 miles so I was happy with that). Before the workout though, I went to figure out a picture to take. There is a park very close to my dorm so I wandered across the street to see what I could photograph. There are some swing sets & the sun was setting so I experimented with focusing closely on the chain from the swing set & let the sunset blur behind it. The pictures turned out better than I was expecting and I had a hard time choosing just one. :)

Day 115


Sunday was a fairly busy day. QuadWorks had voting over program proposals for 2 1/2 hours which, though long, was shorter than last year's session. So business taken care of it was time for homework. It seemed like a lovely day outside so I went with a friend to sit on the patio in the middle of our dorm. We ended up mainly talking instead of doing as much homework as we needed (what else can you expect?) & so I wandered around the area outside taking pictures. I choose this one as my photo-of-the-day because I think it's pretty neat looking having the brick in focus then similar brick behind it out of focus.

Day 114


Saturday April 24. I am a Tift Scholar at school & long story short it is an organization that has been in effect for many generations. We had an alumnae weekend and I was required to be in attendance. I took pictures for a friend's project & didn't ever take any more pictures that day so I had to choose from that selection a photo-of-the-day. I chose this one because this lady's face is just so precious & adorable. :)

Day 113


Friday, April 23, 2010. Full day of classes & such. But my boyfriend did something very sweet that made it a good day. :) He knows that I love photography (obviously) so he wanted to take out somewhere pretty to give me a good photo-op. So after classes we went to lunch at Chili's and were off to High Falls State Park. It's a very pretty place that I had been to before so I knew where we could walk and see the falls better. Once we got back to campus, we went to a Midnight Movie with practically the rest of campus. So Friday was a lovely day. :)

Day 112


April 22, 2010. Last Thursday. Hmm...I don't remember every single one of my actions that day. But I do remember why I took this picture. I had a paper due for my freshman literature class the next day so I was hitting the books hard Thursday night. I figured I'd take a picture of all of the things I would use to write my paper & use it as my photo-of-the-day. & I think it came out pretty cool. :)
