I hadn’t taken any photos with my macro lens in a while, so I did that today while I should have been doing homework.

It felt great. Lots more (and a burger) here.

Stop-motion photography makes me happy. I have never been to Epcot, and this was a neat way to explore it virtually. (via OJ)

For the photo a day meme: a photo of someone you find attractive.

Indeed.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of something you cooked or baked.

Really? I never take pictures of food. This prompt is so awkward.

… not really. But it made me notice that for all the food photos I take, I hardly ever take photos of what I cook. I would like to change that.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of last summer.

I don’t know how to take a picture of a season, but here is a gigantic lava lamp I saw last summer. I am in the window’s reflection, so I think this counts.

Only three more days in this meme, and the timing is perfect. That’s a cryptic allusion to something that coincides with my final post next Monday, by the way. I am very subtle.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of you at Christmastime.

This was taken five years ago by my friend and former coworker AJ while we trimmed the Christmas tree. One of the best parts of working at that library was trimming the tree in our lobby each year.

I have always loved holiday decorations, especially Christmas trees, and I look forward to having a tree to trim someday soon.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of a night you loved.

What you don’t already know is how much I loved the night that Hawk treated me to my first omakase at Zushi Puzzle.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of you that your hair looks nice in.

I am starting to dislike this meme. It isn’t the meme’s fault; it is a perfectly good meme. I am just tired of only being creative when prompted. Also, my hair doesn’t look very nice today and this reminded me of that fact. Blah.

For the photo a day meme: a photo of one of your pets.

I always post photos of Zen, so this one will be of Torgi. He is the cuddliest cat I’ve ever met, and especially loves head-butting for kisses.
