I spent a good chunk of this week trying to figure out what theme to use in my gallery. It wasn’t until I was setting up a Slayer vinyl in my turntable that I decided that I really wanted to do circles. I grabbed my camera and spent the next 20 minutes taking pictures of it before I decided on one I liked.
My next picture is of some vitamins I take. I popped one out of the bottle shortly after taking the photo of the record, and realized just how cool they looked. I poured some on to a piece of paper, lit it up, and took a pretty awesome photo.
The next photo is of a bubble being blown. I took it outside in -18 degree weather. It was so cold that I could see the air like smoke in the bubble, and when it popped you could see it dissipate. Admittedly this one was the most fun to shoot in this set.
By now the ball was really rolling (no pun intended). I decided that what I was shooting was too lighthearted and needed a little contrast. So I took a round noose into a forest, hung it over a tree, and turned it black and white. I’m really happy with how this one turned out.
This last one was actually inspired by the desktop background on the computer at a Tim Horton’s I’ve worked at. I hated that picture with a passion, so I was determined to take a better one. I like this one much better.
