Jan 21 – The other one

Meet Neo, our other cat. Just happened to be near my lights.

Jan 20 – Egg

Boiled egg. Always hungry when time flies.

Jan 19 – Shrimps

Spent the whole day in a studio (at school). Didn’t come out with a decent shot (but perhaps it will be different tomorrow, just very tired right now). So just some shrimps for today, almost ready for the meal.

Jan 18 – Sparrows

Some sparrows in the late afternoon sun. Perhaps a better title would be: Find the sparrows! (But I like the colors).

Jan 17 – Ingredients

Ingredients for my Food-a-week photo (it was a gray and rainy day outside).

Jan 16 – Some days later…

Same bulbs as Day 13. Wished I could make a photo of the lovely smell.

Jan 15 – Ansel Adams

Bought this book a month ago in a second hand shop for a very reasonable price. Perhaps it’s useful the coming week.

I can hear the music!

Jan 14 – Dom tower

A snapshot with my PS camera of the Dom tower of Utrecht. We went to an exhibition about angels. Lots of old paintings, but also some modern work and even a few photos. After that, a dinner for two! , or: my first meal earned with photography :) — A snapshot with my PS camera of the Dom tower of Utrecht. We went to an exhibition about angels.

Jan 12 – Snack

Busy day at work, busy afterwards, so now it’s time for a snack.

Jan 11 – Ouch!

Indoor (field) hockey today. My son got a ball against an unprotected part of his shoulder. Painful for some moment. Luckily the indoor ball isn’t as hard as the outdoor ball, so a minute later he was playing again.

Jan 10 – Skating

Wonderful ice, wonderful weather, wonderful skating!

Jan 09 – Wine in moonlight

Just an experiment at 1.30AM. The only light was provided by the moon at -5C with some snow on the table. Had some trouble getting the glass off the table afterwards.
