Day 20: Get Ahead

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Tonight could be the night I finally get my sleep schedule back in line—it’s still screwed up from the beginning of this week. I’ve finished up everything I’ve got to do today, and it’s only 9.

Day 19: Indoors

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

This weekend’s about freelance work and video games. I’m playing through Mass Effect (again) and jumping straight into Mass Effect 2 after that. Today, it rained all day. It’s was the sort of day for indoors stuff like this.

Day 18: All Sorts of Colors

Friday, January 29th, 2010

I’m trying to be a little more risky/a little less boring this yea. I’ve been doing more processing to my photos and trying new things—I just need to do the same thing in my life as I do in my photography, but that’s another issue I suppose. This shot, with all the colors I didn’t think were there, reminds me somehow of growing up in the Eighties.

Day 17: It’s Very Bright

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Looks like my camera’s image sensor couldn’t handle all that sunlight in this shot (stripe at right of image). It’s extremely bright in the morning lately. And I’ve been pretty out of it. I wasn’t able to post today’s shot in time because I fell asleep early in the evening and woke up again at around three in the morning. My sleep schedule is a disaster right now.

Day 16: Midweek

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

At the week’s midway point, I’m finally over the awful 16-hour start. I’m fully awake and alert again; I had a full night’s sleep; things are about back to normal. Let’s see if I can make something of the rest of the week.

Day 15: Long Exposure

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I shot this toward the end of my unbelievably long work day, in the early part of the morning. There is something nice about the middle of the night or very early morning. It’s nice to be able to set up a tripod in the middle of a parking lot and take my time shooting long-exposure shots like this.

Day 14: Two in One

Monday, January 25th, 2010

There isn’t much to say about today except that it was something of two days in one and that I’m glad it’s over. I worked a sixteen-hour day, not getting out of the office until past two in the morning. I never want this to happen again.

Day 13: A Good Sunday

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

I did all sorts of work today, as I had planned to. Leftover work from the main job, freelance work, and some spillover work for a certain well-known internet media empire I shall not mention. That was the best part. I did all my work while watching loads of sci-fi on Netflix and listening to the rain outside. This is more or less my idea of a good Sunday.

Day 12: Photos and Photoshop

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

This is about the only way this shot could turn out half-decent. I tried taking a long-exposure shot in the middle of a trail in the middle of the dark—I could see pretty much nothing but blackness—my tripod wasn’t fastened right, and the shot ended up blurry and generally bad. Now, it’s kind of cool. I got through some design work today, but I really would have preferred to wake up earlier. I’ll do that tomorrow.

Day 11: Being Busy

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

This is going to be a busy weekend, so today I’m kicking back and getting to sleep (relatively) early, and I’ve got a lot of caffeine locked and loaded. I’m going to have to do some spillover work for the full-time job and push my freelance project through past the midway mark if possible, all while trying to get some errands out of the way as usual.
