Day Eighty-Seven

I hardly ever take my camera with me to Taekwondo classes, not wanting to drag it around with me. But yesterday, Cara convinced me to bring it along. Unfortunately, she ended up being too sick to go to the class, but bringing the camera ended up not being a total disappointment. I managed to get this lovely shot of our female master.

Day Eighty-Six

When Grant came to visit me from South Africa, he did not come empty handed. He brought me a gift that he had commissioned an artist in New Zealand to draw. I have been very homesick recently, and looking at this picture tends to remind me of what I am going back home to in three months time.

Day Eighty-Five

Cara is leaving! This makes me uber-sad. Saturday night was spent saying goodbye to her and two of my other friends, Jacques and Sheelagh. While I am upset to see Jacques go, I know that I will probably be seeing him back home in the next few months. I have never been particularly close to Sheelagh, and while we have shared some good times together, the person that I am really going to miss the most is Cara! That is why today's photo is dedicated to her. This is her and her friend Josh at Pearl Jam, saying goodbye.

Day Eighty-Four

I decided to go out with some friends on Friday night. Photography in clubs proved to be rather more difficult than I had anticipated, especially when I was not all that keen to use my flash. However, I did manage to get this shot before I decided to put my camera away. I quite like the light reflecting off the glass even though the ISO is far from perfect and makes the photo rather noisy.

Day Eighty-Three

The sun has been beautiful over the last few days. I think that it has something to do with the cold weather, but when it comes time for sunset, it glows a brilliant orange. This makes for some beautiful sunsets, and I managed to capture one with the flags near my house flowing in the wind on Thursday.

Day Eighty-Two

Having really struggled to find photograph subjects over the last few days, I came across these lanterns outside a restaurant near my house and decided that they would just have to do.

Day Eighty-One

It has been absolutely freezing recently, particularly at night. What this means is that when you walk outside from the warmth of heated apartments and schools and such places, you can see your own breathe. I thought this would make a good photo, and Amy agreed to help me attempt it. It didn't work out quite the way I had hoped, but I did get this rather fun photo of Amy putting in her best effort.
