Poking the sky on Flickr.

I’m going to be trying to work with blank backgrounds for the next few photos. It really cleans up the photo and focuses attention on the subject.
I’ll admit it really limits possible subjects. Most flowers have other plants or leaves behind them which pose a problem. Sometimes this can be solved with a piece of paper, sometimes not. Oh well :)

If anyone knows what kind of flower this is, let me know! It’s part of a bouquet of flowers my mom had so I have no clue what it’s called. It was originally yellow, if that helps :)

This is what I love about spring and summer. Sitting under a tree, looking up, and seeing the sunlight brightly lighting up the leaves.
Looks amazing and is incredibly relaxing :)
Patterns on Flickr.

We got a new patio table and it’s got this really cool pattern on it, so I thought I’d try to do something interesting with it.
Yes, that thing in the upper right corner looks weird, but I didn’t think to take a third photo and I’m not particularly good with typography :P
Left photo was taken with a Sigma 30mm 1.4, and the right with a Canon 50mm 1.8
Yup. Accurate post is accurate.
Always amazes me the amount of work that goes into designing a nice typeface.

Learning some German
My German textbook shipped! Getting it off Amazon since it’s much cheaper than anywhere else, and no one’s selling it used, and it’s not available in any library reasonably close to me.
It should arrive in a week, so I’ll have time to learn some stuff before I start the course. I want to become relatively fluent by the end of summer which is going to take a lot of work, but I’m up for it. Hoping to do a exchange with Germany soon so I need this.
