One month into my project: 365 for 2014 and it’s been … okay. In the sense that I haven’t struggled. Happily taking photos on my phone instead feeling the need to have to take them with my camera. Oh and I forgot a day and didn’t freak out. Win, right?
January’s been a busy month. Getting back from Bahrain, the parents are over, busy preparing things for a holiday in March. Lots to do. Though that doesn’t mean there are no mundane shots. Fear not, I’ve remembered to do plenty of those!
Here’s January’s lot:
Starting a 365 this year. Going to do my very best to stick with it. New Years day and I was on my way back from Bahrain, to the UK.
I’m back at work. Cue loads more mundane sitting-at-the-desk style photos. Problem is, there is very little on my desk to take photos of. Time to re-clutter?
I step into the seventh level of hell that is Westfield shopping centre in London for a bit of food and a viewing of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
I’ve gotten my visa photos done for my upcoming trip to India. Note, I don’t look like this. The guy loves showing off his photoshop skills so I’ve got smoother skin, less lines, some added eye liner and in no way does my hair ever look that sleek!
Day 5 and and I’m playing paparazzi with a guest.
Day 6 and everyone is heading back to work and school and it’s all very grim.
Day 7 and a rare Tuesday evening out. Pizza East followed by some killer cocktails at Nightjar. This being one of them. Sadly, this one wasn’t all that tasty. Looks amazing, though, right?
Day 8 and it’s an oops day. Oops being I forgot to take a photo until I got to bed.
Day 9 and it’s a feet-up-do-nothing-in-the-evening-but-watch-tv sort of evening.
Day 10. Big bro comes to visit and its Cody’s play time. Translated – she gets thrown around all over the place and loves every second of it.
Day 11 and I go out, see a bunch of awesome people and my 365 shot of the day is my lunch. Which was luverly. But really? I am ashamed.
Day 12 and it’s Cody. Again. Listening out at the front door for passing dogs.
Day 13 and I’m playing photographer/paparazzi at work. Bonus points for getting to play with a wide angle lens which I’ve never had the pleasure in working with and which I now really want for myself.
Day 14 and it’s about time for something weirdly abstract, right?
Day 15 and mainlining some coffee at work.
Day 16. Waiting for the dark mornings to be over.
Day 17. Received a lovely gift!
Day 18 and it’s a day of silliness. Yes, I wrapped a towel on Cody’s head. And, yes, she left it on there and seemed nonplussed about wearing it.
Day 19 I haven’t been posting every day, but I am still taking photos. Yesterday’s kinda pretty sunset from my bedroom window. ?
Day 20 Wanting the snot to stop!
Day 21 Another day, another tube station. Well, just the same one I use every day. Just … the other one from which I took a photo of on that other day I took a photo of at a station. Make sense?
Day 23. Cody. Again. Wearing my ear muffs. As you do.
Day 24 Friday night + pizza + apple pie + Settlers of Catan + Ticket to Ride = awesome. Simple maths.
Day 25 and these books, that have been sitting on the floor next to me bed since December, are now on a bookcase. I’m only temporarily adopting them.
Day 26. She spent the entire evening just staring at me like this.
Day 27. Realised, I should be taking more photos of the people around me. They’re more important than that bit of lint I saw floating in front of me.
Day 28 This is the folks. The folks of me.
Day 29. Outfits for upcoming wedding all sorted! Hurrah!
Day 30 And now jewellery for upcoming wedding all sorted. Well, jewellery, accessories, shoes and other random assortments. (Most of which I returned!)
Day 31 Friday night in with the family.
February is going okay so far. The day that I mentioned I forgot, was a February day. Ah well. It’s lacking a few days anyway. Perfect logic, right there.
Nice pics, your dog really likes to dress up π
Haha! Not sure she’s got much of a choice with me lol!
How did you do this??!?!? Magic internet coding?!!?
WordPress! Insert images as a gallery. It’s magic! So yes. I do use magic.
I love the very serious passport photo of you.
Never know what face to put on for those passport photos. I look TERRIBLE when I’m not smiling. I look bloody miserable in my actual passport.
Great pics Jaina! Sounds like you had a nice time in Bahrain.
Awesome pics! A beautiful German Shepherd and some good looking food! Suddenly I’m a bit hungry.
Nice mix of colors, angles, and situations. Well-done! What’s with the dog wearing the headscarf, just messing around? Also, that board game is quite beautiful to look at, without even playing the game-which is?
Yeah, I tend to put random items of clothing on Cody, just because I can. She’s so blasse about it all!
The board game is Settlers of Catan – fantastic game, never get tired of it.
…Haha…I also took a very similar photo of my laptop. It was the moment I realised the 365 days of photos wasn’t working for me.
Love that pic in the train station and your steak and chips looks delicious! π
Cheers Dan!
Yeah, 365 is tricky. I’ve missed a couple of days here and there if it really is that difficult to figure out what to snap. No pressure attitude is working for me so far!
Glad you’re not beating yourself up over this :). I love how when you hover above the photos, a description pops out. Is that a plug-in or your own programming?
I’m using Jetpack and it’s just part of the programming for the gallery feature. As long as you have a caption for the photo.
Missed a couple of other days this month.. Oh well, no one biggie!
