I am fairly happy with how this one turned out actually. :)

Divine Diptych Week 18 - Up Stairs
Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.
I was really excited to be paired with the talented Bronwen Hyde this week. Bronwen also chose the themes as well. This week's theme was the title of a Michael Nyman composition "Up Stairs". Not being familiar with this particular piece of music I had a listen and found it quite interesting that while listening to it I felt like descending instead of ascending as the title refers.
I think that Bronwen's photo and mine work quite well together as her image shows a reluctance to get to the top of the stairs through her crawling, while mine shows a rush to get to the bottom of the stairs.
The divine diptych project is a collaboration between 37 photographers some of whom pair up every week and in each pair take a photo each on the same theme. You can see more of the project here: Divine Diptych Project

Day 26: Z is for Zipper. Hard to really see in this photo but there is a zipper there....maybe I should have done something a little more risque but I am at the end of the challenge and am pretty much fed up. Gone are the says of doing a self portrait or even a photo a day for a year. Somewhere a long the way I seem to have lost my patience.
I have enjoyed this challenge and being able to read fellow participants blogs! ;)

Unfortunately, I haven’t picked it up seriously since then…maybe one of these days. I would like to play in a chamber ensemble again.

Day 15: O is for Orange. Which is what the colour of the moon was tonight. I had something else entirely different for this image but when I saw the moon I knew I had to take a pic of it. Unfortunately my settings weren’t exactly set correctly and well, it was cold outside so I didn’t spend the time to get a proper balance between the city lights and the moon. In fact this is a combo of two shots that I took - one where the moon turned out and one where I was satisfied with the city lights. This is something that I definitely need to work on – but the moon is what the focus is on here anyway.

Day 4 is D. Since the image that I did take for today was really lame I am posting an old image that I took a couple of years ago. I thought it was appropriate that I posted an image of a dog since yesterday was a cat. I remember that it was around this time of year and I was out at a friend's place making maple syrup!

Day 3 is "C". Taking a photo to represent this letter was a no-brainer for me since I have been doing nothing lately but either working on school or taking care of my cats.
This image is of my dear cat Diva who has been sick lately. She is staring out the window at birds that are flying by.

As I was climbing many flights of stairs to get to class today this "A" caught my eye! Bam! That is how creativity happens ladies and gentlemen...now can I keep it up for the whole month?? Time will tell...I am already not sure what to do for the letter "B"

I am entering into "that time" of the university semester when there are a million things to read and write and procrastination becomes a favourite, if not hated, past-time.

My brain also hasn't been in "the game" either because of what is happening in Japan these past few days. Please donate to the Red Cross* if you can spare anything....the true devastation of what has happened in this country will not be visible for a long time I am afraid and they are going to need the support of the global community.
