Yes That is a Bow on My Shoulder

10.9.10 – Saturday – Fall Wedding #1

This is forever known as the baby owl dress… I had to ask two people if I would look like a baby owl, and getting the negative I of course ordered it straight away.  But now someone just can’t stop whooo whooo whoooooooing at me!  I guess baby quail would actually be more appropriate, but I have no idea what sounds they make.  

It’s definitely becoming fall now!  I’m so glad — I’ve still been wearing summer clothing and feeling rather silly!  I might even be able to wear tights this week!!

P. S. Does anyone have any experience with camera remotes that operate on radio frequency?  I have some epic fail photos coming up with what is probably my last attempt at using it before it’s getting sent back.  Even the ones that are in focus look… out of focus.  Am I just dumb or are they actually pretty much impossible to use with autofocus?  

Black & White & Red All Over

10.8.10 – Friday

This is one of my favorite color combinations, although I hardly ever wear it.  I’m far more likely to wear black and white, or maybe black and red (although interestingly never red and white).  All my photos are so boring I’m only posting this one, the rest are me just looking up or down or right!  So boring.  Maybe I need to try jump photos or something, although I think heels are just a little bit prohibitive…

10.1.10 – Friday Evening

So it was really cold (okay, it was only 60, but still really windy) when I took these last week.  I think you can totally tell how cold I was, I’m doing that little scrunch in, yet still try to retain my posture thing.  

I wore this later on Friday to the speakeasy with my friends where I think we ordered at least 9 appetizers — most of it was dinner for three out of five though.  And I had the best Sidecar of my life, with sugar on half the rim.  I was breaking in my new (vintage) Ferragamos from BriFoster on etsy.  They got here from Canada so fast!  Totally my new favorite shoes, although I wish they had a platform.  Maybe I can have the cobbler attach some?  I don’t know if that’s possible though, seems like an intense job!

P. S. Some last Toronto photos are here.  

Adventures With DSLR: Is That a Ghost on My Left?

9.27.10 ~ Monday

So this is my first attempt at indoor photography and I guess it came out okay. The flash is quite visible. But I probably should have taken these before 6pm as well, it getting a little dark to do that.  Especially indoors.  And the background… could definitely be better.  I have to work on that, and really, I’m trying to.  I just bought The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby and I’m thinking about one of those photography-class-in-a-book sort of things as well.  And I need some decent software, iPhoto is good but Aperture or maybe Photoshop Elements would be better?  

I wore this to meet my friend from school for pho (Vietnamese) at a restaurant almost soft of halfway between us (farther for me, but highway driving long distances every so often gets that racing urge out of blood) We’re all so scattered now, from coast to coast and north to south… and even across continents!  It’s terrible not to be able to go to Starbucks with my friends every day at 6:30 for the after dinner/pre-studying pick me up!  I do wish we were all closer together.
