Week 17 of 2011 - Architecture

National Shrine of the Little Flower Catholic Church.

I pass this architecture quite often while driving on Woodward Avenue but today the blue sky, fluffly white clouds and green green grass just beaconed for a photo opp. (And I just happened to have my camera!) An example of the zig-zag art deco style, it was completed in two stages, from 1931 to 1936. Click here for an original photo from the past.

Week 16 of 2011 - Reflections

Reflection of the Oriental Garden’s bridge - Cranbrook.

More garden - Less grass

It was decided that the grass strip between the veggie garden and the fence shrubs needs to go. Now who's going to remove it for me. Just seems like too much work.

Week 15 of 2011 - Time/If I Only Had Time...

So many clocks remind me of time passing. If I only had time I wouldn't wait until the last day of the week to take my photo. (Or in this case: photos.)

Week 14 of 2011 - Motion

Ceiling fan in motion. I taped a flash light to a blade for effect. I'm just glad it didn't shoot off and put my eye out!

Week 13 of 2011 - High Key

High Key Phoptography: unnaturally bright lighting to blow out most or all harsh shadows in an image. Here is a Klondike Azalea bud from the back yard that I've been trying to force bloom in my bay window. It's going on 42 days now. The bud in the back is ready, but has been ready for a week. COME ON!

Note: this is my first pic that required the use of bubble wrap, painter's tape and a 250 watt shop light.
