Last Day

Barn, originally uploaded by RLHyde [breatheindigital].

As those close to me know, I've been working as a nanny, or "manny", if you will, all Summer. Been working there for the past three Summers now, actually. Today was my very last day. This is one of the images I'll miss the most . . . this barn is absolutely beautiful, and it's not even the only one on the property. Maybe some time I'll ask if I can bring a model over and do a shoot in and around this old horse farm.

These were once Kathleen's grandmother's figurines. I thought they were perfect subjects for a sparkly bokeh shot.

In Other News

Yesterday I got an email on Flickr. It said that the shot of my water bottle was going to be used by the NBC affiliate in Washington in an online article about Sigg's water bottle liners. No seriously, I have proof. It's a blog-like writeup, but I'm exceedingly pleased that my work is being used. Hooray for Creative Commons! If my stuff had to be paid for to be used, this wouldn't have happened!

I woke up today and realized I had no picture to upload. After deciding to give up, Kathleen was very firm on the notion that I should shoot one today and keep to my Monday/Wednesday/Friday routine. She was right, and this is the result.
