I know I haven't posted a selfie in awhile but things have been sorta crazy around here.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, or winter depending on what hemisphere you reside in!

Just a little attempt of a tilt-shift photo..thought that the Anti-Tory protest would be a good time to try. ;)

Protest against the Harper Government. The protesters stopped for a sit-in on the corner of Bank and Laurier and then carried on peacefully to Parliament Hill.

Another attempt at underwater photography. I have some ideas in my head but just need to figure out a way to create them.

Divine Diptych Week 18 - Up Stairs

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

A to Z Challenge - Day 26 Challenge Complete!

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! ;)

Day 25: Y is for Yellow. I was at a loss at what to shoot for a representation of the letter Y, then a friend suggested Yellow. This was a great suggestion as I happen to have a yellow chair and when it was time to shoot it just happened to be bathed in sunlight!

Day 24: X is for...well "X". The letter X is insanely difficult to find something to photograph believe it or not. Thought this would be the easiest. Not one of my favourite shots by any stretch.

Day 23: W is for White. I haven't taken a high key B&W photo in a long time. Sorry I have been so tardy with posting but things have been busy and I have been lacking in a little bit of motivation. Not just in photography but in everything - as an example my condo needs some serious cleaning!

Some pretty cool dudes!

Day 22: V is for Violin. I took many, many years of private classical violin instruction but decided when I was in first year university (about 20 [?] years ago) that I wanted to stop playing. 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.
