This is an alternate to my "official" 365 photo for today. I had a definite issue in trying to decide which image to post and whether I prefer the black and white or the coloured version.

It would seem that the best light to take photos with in my condo is during the late afternoon....at least in this particular room anyway - which might be the reason for my frown.

Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

I've been trying to cut back on my coffee intake - not that I really drink a lot of coffee to begin with. Instead having a morning coffee, I'm substituting it with a fruit smoothie. I used to make a smoothie every morning religiously but when I started university for some reason coffee was more attractive. I think I will still have coffee on the weekends periodically.

I was shocked today to hear that Apple has removed the 500px app because of complaints that nude photos are too easy to find....which are considered "pornography" to some people. Nudity it NOT pornography. So come to the dark side....we have cookies. :)

So another macro shot from my adventures in my bathroom - Day 2. It's kind of interesting what happens when one removes their camera lens and turns it around....even more macroization! :) (I just created that word)

It was mild enough to take a little meander outside and capture some of the traffic in my city. This is also an attempt at tilt-shift - I think it worked out.

This photo was actually taken last night before I went to bed - but obviously processed and uploaded today - which means I have another image to take for today's photo. :)

I can't say that I exactly like this image....it has a certain "something" I can't put my finger on though.

Uh huh. So finally I have taken a photo using this gorgeous mask that the lovely MMaeb sent me last Christmas as a gift! I love it and regret not using it as a prop before this occasion! Thank you M!! xx

Note: There are those that are sceptical that I will be able to successfully complete this challenge. Let it be known that I have done it once and I can certainly do it again. Just wait and see. :)

I shot this image before Christmas and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. I'm pretty happy with it. Although it won't be included in my 2013 -365 challenge, I'll post it anyway. :)

Ok...So I'm not doing so well with taking a self portrait everyday - it's only my second for COL! So since this is a challenge on an individual level, I am going to challenge myself to take a photo a day - it does not have to necessarily be a portrait - although that would be what I would prefer.

About this photo: I was sitting at my kitchen island sipping on my morning coffee when I saw Miss Diva staring out the window. Is she contemplating something? Perhaps just my ultimate demise, but I thought it would be a cool picture regardless.

So I am testing the waters a little bit and seeing if I can complete a 365 day challenge. So this will be my first photo of 2013 (fingers crossed that I will be able to complete it) Please be assured that if I can't complete a 365 I will turn it into a 52 week challenge.
