Images taken of my living space.
It has been a warm January weekend here in the Bay Area (the halcyon days of February are a little early this year), so I got out there and tidied up the yard a bit. While sweeping the side patio our little iron frog on the mossy concrete caught my eye. In keeping with the “close to home” theme, I pulled out the G11 and grabbed a few shots.

Taking a cue from Andrew S. Gibson’s excellent 3 eBook series, “The Magic of Black and White,” combined with inspiration from Stuart Sipahigil’s eBook, “Close to Home,” I spied this lone winter dandelion out in my backyard and grabbed some macro shots. I like this vertical image the best.

Since the first of the year I’ve been working on a gnarly set of puzzles at work. Most days, by the time I get in the car for the long drive home, my mind is all but spent. Needless to say, stopping for photo ops hasn’t been on the top of my list. Once home, after chilling out a bit, I’ll usually get the “urge.” Yesterday we had a beautiful sunset so I pulled out the G11 and snapped a few shots from the street in front of my house. This is my fave.

Work has been a grind and the commute is long. Some days it’s best to just get home and chill.

Sunlight actually flowed into the house this morning. Before it disappeared I grabbed a couple of shots of this little scene in our dining room. Then I ate one of the apples thus spoiling my chances of recreating the shot. đ
