Went out for lunch at a local Italian restaurant. They serve water with a slice of lemon.

Day 49: Just Water for Me, Please
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Day 48: Outdoor Lamp by the Office
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
A lamp outside the back of the office building. I’ve been eyeing this shot for a while, thinking that that the slanted glass window would make for an interesting reflection.
Day 47: Red and White Roses
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
I needed pictures of red and white roses for a website I’m working on. I thought I’d wait after Valentine’s day to buy roses in the hope that they’ll be cheaper.
Day 46: Hard Drive Innards
Monday, February 15th, 2010
A coworker in the IT department was busy taking apart failed hard drives from a server so as to render the data in them irretrievable.
I borrowed one that had already opened, positioned it so the light from the windows reflected on it, then took a few shots. It soon met its complete demise after I gave it back to my coworker.
Day 45: Wooden Heart
Sunday, February 14th, 2010
My unpacking continues. I saw this among the things that my Mom asked me to hold on for her when she moved out-of-state. It’s something in which to hang necklaces. Only then did I remember that it was Valentine’s day. I looked to my right around, and there was my fluffy red blanket on a pile on the floor.
Things seemed to have conspired for me to take a Valentine’s-themed photo.
Day 44: Scooter
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
I dropped by the old apartment to pick up the remainder of the items I left there.
My neighbors saw my car parked by the building. They knocked on my door. In their hands was a leash, and on the other end of it was this cute dog they had just rescued from the shelter.
His name is Scooter. He’s a couple of months old, and very cute.
I learned from this shoot just how difficult it is to take a picture of a subject that just will not stand still. I now have a renewed admiration of people who manage to observe things like the rule of thirds for such subjects. As it was, I was lucky to even have a shot that wasn’t blurred.
Day 43: Atrium Plant
Friday, February 12th, 2010
I didn’t have any idea what to shoot, it was time to go home, and I was very tired, so I just took a few shots of one of the plants in the building’s atrium.
Day 42: Sailing the Popcorn Sea
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Another late night at work. I noticed that there was an excess of popcorn in the office popcorn machine (we have one like those in movie theaters, except maybe smaller). I thought I’d be a little playful, so I grabbed a clean sheet of paper and made a little boat.
Day 41: Fire Pit
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
The IT department had their annual meeting, and we had IT department heads from Canada, France and the UK visit us at the office. I got invited to join them for dinner later that evening.
After dinner, we stepped out of the restaurant to smoke, and we stood by the fire pit they had out front.
Day 40: The Janitor’s Closet
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Another late night at the office. On my way out, I walked past the open cleaning supply closet and did a double-take. I’ve always wanted to take a picture of it, so I quickly pulled my camera out of my bag and took pictures before the cleaning crew saw me. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind. They see me all the time, and I’ve shared a few laughs with them. But somehow I didn’t want to have to explain why I was taking pictures of a sink.
