Week Eight: Mittens

Week Eight: February 19-25, 2010

Probably one of the things I was most excited to receive on Christmas morning a couple of months ago. These are EVERYWHERE right now as everyone I know, myself included, seems to have caught Olympic fever.

I broke a lamp in the taking of this picture... whoops.

I might be a bit behind posting next week's photo as I'll actually be in Vancouver this time next week. Unfortunately, not in time to catch any Olympic fun, but on the bright side, none of the crowds either.

Week Seven: Sharpener

Week Seven: February 12-18, 2010

Classrooms and the art of teaching are becoming increasingly more digital every day. But some things always stay the same.

I wasn't able to take my DLSR into work today, but I did capture this one with my point-and-shoot.

Week Six: Room with a View

Week Six: February 5th-11th, 2010

I've been in this building since August of 2004. In that time, the building owners have never hired window washers (it's a high rise, so it's not accessible to those of us leasing space). It's bad enough now that I can't see out of the left side. Maybe it's time for a formal complaint...

Week Five: Pineapple

Week Five: January 29- February 4, 2010

I've been fighting off a flu this week and so I've been pretty uninspired (and lazy). This bought this pineapple the other day after hearing some other teachers in the staff room talk about how great the pineapple in our grocery stores is right now (strawberries, very out of season, are not). So, I added some much needed Vitamin C to my diet, and tried my hand at a little food photography.

I also noticed a strange pattern in my photography while looking over my Flickr Photostream tonight: Anytime I use negative space or asymmetry in a photo, almost always, the subject is on the right-hand side of the frame. Something I'm going to try to pay more attention to in the future.
