March 7th - What's wrong with this picture?

What's wrong with this picture?
This is the first in my new series called "What's Wrong With This Picture", a series of photos that points out things that I believe we all need to be thinking about these days. Study this enlarged version carefully and see if anything strikes you as out of place or not quite right. Then, click here to see what I was thinking. Be sure to come back here and leave a comment and let me know how you did!

March 6th - Shattered

Shattered
Wow. OK, this is art now. We're talkin' HIGH ART. So high it's downright disturbing. (Yes... Disturbing! That's me in there!!!) I think I'll go have a nightmare. Naw I'm just kidding. I did quite a few shots for this project, and this one came out the best as far as how my eyes looked. In some of the others my eyes were split over several pieces of glass; in some I made a scary face; in some I made a terrified face... I guess when I mentioned nightmares, I was thinking about those others rather than this one.

March 5th - Boiled Eggs

Boiled Eggs
Alright I know, I know... this is one of the more silly ones I've uploaded yet. But when I looked at my breakfast this morning, I saw something else. Do you see it? What is it?

March 4th - Something Just Clicked

Epiphany
>>>Edit - I'm re-writing this post; It was originally called "Epiphany", and yes I had one of those today and this photo reminded me of it. Suffice it to say, something just clicked in my head today, and I feel better about some things because of it.

March 3rd - Slice and Dice

Slice and Dice
I'm doing the Lighting 102 thing over at Strobist.com, and this is from my exercise tonight. I'm gonna re-do the exercise because I got carried away with trying to make an artistic photo and didn't really end up with the results the exercise was all about. But this was fun so it's my photo for today.

March 2nd - Night Landing

Night Landing
Two ferries came in tonight, one right after the other. The one on the right in this photo is the Evergreen State. It was the "big" ferry when I first moved here back in '71. Now it's the little ferry doing the inter-island run. The one on the left is a much newer boat called the Sealth. Neither of them is the boat I was on last night for yesterday's photo.

March 1st - Different Perspective

Different Perspective
Our assignment today was "Different Perspective". Man that's hard to do when you're pressed for time! I ended up shooting different angles in an empty section on the ferry coming back home tonight and this one won. The color was kinda boring, so I played around with it in Photoshop.
