Daily Life

Waiting and Writing. Sitting waiting in the car is one of the few places and times I get a chance to stop and think. 2

Vodka, tonic, and Indiana Jones. That’s just what was needed to relax at the end of a stress-filled day.

Shopping Day (365:158)

My legs and two cats (356:157) – Carefully framed to remain family friendly, and no, there are no outtakes.

Wall + Gary = Today’s picture (365:156)

Van Repairs (365:154) – A few days ago the van’s AC went on the blink again. This time it’s jammed on, which is better than it not working at all. It blows air even when the fan’s turned off. 2 pictures

Enough! (365:153) – Keeping this project going is becoming a chore and is taking up too much of my time.

May 2011.

Black and white photograph of Gary Allman taken on May 31, 2011.

New Gloves (365:161) — I guess there’s no need to explain why.

Lights, camera, inaction (365:145) – This was going to be another of those late night leaning against the wall shots.

Return (365:144) – Second day at the computer working on websites. The work’s done and posted, as illustrated in today’s photo. All I need is the customer feedback, complete the inevitable changes and then to make it live. I guess I ought to clean my keyboard – this looks disgusting. One-minute read

Late night glass of water (365:144) – Well, it is a picture, and I took it today. It meets the 365 Days criteria, what more could I want? Whatever artistic excellence and inspiration there was is on the decline again.

Antibiotic (365:143) – The wonders of hindsight enable me to declare this ‘the week of the digit’. It also enables me to declare this the week of extreme photographic, and probably documentary apathy. There’s a chance it might end up being only four days of digits and not a week. We’ll see.

Sunday night movie (365:142) – It was another day of missed photo opportunities and a sobering reminder of the fragility of our existence. Two-minute read, 3 pictures

Sock puppet by Gary Allman

Sock puppet (365:140) – It was late and I was running out of ideas, so here’s me and the sock I’ve been wearing on my hand at night to stop my stitches getting caught.

Gary and Ginger being nauseating in the hall (365:139) +1

Clearing up the workshop (365:138) –

Studying in the back yard (365:137) – The yard needs to be mowed, we’ll have to get a kid on to it. I had a quiet day studying. It’s my final class for this academic year on Thursday. Lots of reading has been done, just the course notes to read and exercise to get out of the way and I’m finished.

Remain Calm. This is only a drill Tee shirt.

Remain Calm – This is only a drill… (365:136) – This is not today’s picture, it’s a picture I took back in December 2010. But it is very representative, as this is the tee shirt I just had to wear today. Anyway it amused me. My actual picture for today is at the bottom of this post and shows my cut hand without bandages. Three-minute read, 3 pictures

Three x-rays, one tetanus shot and twelve stitches later (365:135) – Do not try this at home.

Late-night Saturday (365:134) – Another day processing pictures. While everyone else went about doing family stuff I stayed put at the computer processing more of the outstanding pictures. I did fairly well, and I ought to be able to finish them tomorrow.

Walmart veggies section (365:133) –

Broken Nikon Lens Mount (365:132) – The good news is that we are spared another ‘Gary studying for EFM’ picture this week.
