The chef is always right!  Can't miss with this book.

Several months behind or...a new start?

Let's just say I blew last fall's 30-day photography challenge.  So I'm going to start my own.  I  love moonman.com, and I've been looking for a similarly small (2" or so) figure online, but this morning I realized I've had the perfect one all along:  a short Wallace figure residing in my apt for at least five, maybe 10 years.

Wallace is standing next to a bag of walnuts on the little kitchen wotsit table, which needs work.  It could hardly get more cluttered.  And one thing I learned when I shared an apartment in Chelsea owned by a moviemaker is that DETAIL is all.  There was never anything out of place in the moviemaker's home (not in the apartment, obviously, since she did not live there).  There was nothing in her rooms to mar the background if she wanted to film something spontaneously.  

Here Wallace is standing on a glass popcorn container looking at an MSF map of the world.  He's a bit out of focus, but maybe that's ok.

I have a lot of work to do to get everything, each layer, in proper focus, but that'll be the fun.  This will be my practice page for a while.  I need to give Wallace a bath, too.  He's been collecting dust for years.

Maybe three days behind schedule...??

I'm adjusting to a whole new schedule here...my son, Tom, has come to stay.  *:0)
Lots more cooking and trips to the grocery store!  So I'm behind in the 30 day photography challenge.  The next one I have to do is one of the hardest, too...the time-delay one--which means I have to learn a whole new way of working the camera.  It promises to be fun, but....jeez.  I need a little more time.

In the meantime, here's a photo of the Christmas tree in the Greyhound Bus Station on 1st St. NE.  No special technique needed for this.  And I used my cell phone.  Thought it was touching.
