July 26, 2008 Anyone know what kind of spider this is? This guy has been hanging around my front door for over a week now. He usually runs and hides behind some molding as soon as I get near, but this time I think he was sleeping, so I managed to get a shot of him. I wish I was able to get more of the web to appear in the shot, but it just wasn't the right conditions. I've heard of spraying hair spray on the web to get them to be seen, but I thought would be a bad thing to do to a fully functional web. (and I didn't have any hair spray...)
July 15, 2008 Ice Cube Trays (Photo by: Martha Beggerly) There was an impromptu party at my apartment where my camera came out for a little bit. Martha (one of my interns from the opera company I'm working for) was getting artistic with some things around the apartment. I thought this shot was pretty cool, so I posted it. The lighting was from a flash, so it's not that great, but Martha definitely has an eye for composition.
July 25, 2008 Back to the Daily Photos I figured I'd take some easy macro shots to get back in the groove. Here's another shot of my jeans that I had to choose from for today's shot. I've been working my ass off (literally) for the past month. I didn't have the motivation to take any daily photos during my month long job as Stage Supervisor for Opera NJ. To give you an idea of what I've been doing, imagine 3 opera sets in one theatre at the same time. One of the sets is meant for a much larger stage that what we were on. And of course, it was rare that a set could stay on stage for more than 2 days at a time. There were many days when we had all 3 sets on the stage at some point. My crew of interns and I managed to get through it alive, but we still have a few more days left until we get all the sets packed up and returned. I may miss a few daily photos until I'm officially done, but I'll back, full force, in no time. The other day,I realized that I've been doing daily photos for over a year now. I took a look at my old 2007 gallery, and was amazed at how much I've grown and learned. I thank all of you on the DP Community for your support, help, and motivation.
