The Midnight Run Project 365

Day 190: Birthday Cake

Rico — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 03:10:27 +0000

It’s my good friend’s birthday, and his girlfriend made this cake. This was the cake as she served it out to the other party guests.

Day 189: Small and Big Guitar

Rico — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:08:29 +0000

The big guitar is my classical guitar. The small one was a gift from a good friend when he visited his family in Hong Kong.

Day 188: Wet Pines

Rico — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:06:36 +0000

Another late day shower. The pine trees in the parking lot still had droplets of water when the sun emerged from behind the clouds.

Day 187: Wet Parking Lot

Rico — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:04:12 +0000

It rained in the afternoon. I took a photo on my way to my car as I went home.

Day 186: Roadside Flower

Rico — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 03:04:06 +0000

A flower growing by the side of the road near our apartment.

Day 185: Small Flag

Rico — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 02:54:13 +0000

I was looking forward to the 4th of July fireworks today. I even reviewed my photography book to review the proper camera settings for shooting fireworks the night before.

Alas, the weather wasn’t cooperating. It never stopped raining once darkness fell.

What you see here is Plan B.

Day 184: Pekwa

Rico — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:45:52 +0000

Most of the other Pinoys here went up to the mountains for the July 4th weekend, so the rest of us who were left decided to have our own small party.

We had dinner and played cards up to 3 am. This is a Filipino card game called Pekwa. We punished the loser of each round by writing on his or her face with lipstick.

Day 183: Fiery Sunset

Rico — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 02:37:40 +0000

I was working late and just happened to step out for a while (okay, I used the bathroom) and saw the fiery sunset from the lobby. I quickly ran to my office to grab my camera, and then ran to one of the empty offices in the building to take a few shots.

Day 182: Sprinkler Meets Sunset

Rico — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:30:36 +0000

I was on my way to my car after a full day at the office, and I was still wondering what I’d be shooting for Project 365.

When I stepped out of the building, I saw that the sprinklers by my car were on. I didn’t know how much longer they’d be going, so I tried to take as many pictures as I could. I had to dodge water a few times when the other spouts pointed my way.

I was shooting blind (holding the camera close to the ground) and hoped that I would get lucky with a well focused shot, but alas, it didn’t happen.

Day 181: Exit Sign

Rico — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:23:35 +0000

Still having a dearth of ideas for photos, so I just settled.

This is one of the many illuminated exit signs in the office.
