Fall is getting closer

30 years today!

Today is my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary
Cool!

They are not always happy, they rarely agree on many things and they are still learning about “how the other one works”…
They are a normal couple of people that “just” do their best to walk together, side by side, toward a Great Point that is actually the same “Thing” that is their union foundation.

I think this is a blessing, and a wonderful example for both me and my bro.

In the car

Don’t worry, the webmaster was driving the car (as always).
I’m not able to take pictures while driving a car, and I’ve no intention of doing it ^_^

“Toys”

for physicists

Dear soap bubbles, see you in a few weeks

Today I think I’ve got close to the result I was looking for

I have taken, unintentionally, a picture that became my “profile picture” on FB  (soon on skype too).

Today I’ve also gained a new desktop (it doesn’t make much sense in small dimension) that probably gave and idea for a new header:

I’m glad for the results and I’ve to admit it had been a great fun to take this pictures, but I want to stop with soap bubbles for a few weeks because:

1) I don’t want to be monotonous

2) I’m running out of time and have to focus more on geometry, algebra and analytical mechanics…

3) I need to find the proper settings and a great amount of free time to play more with “soap” but not necessarily to create bubbles

Beside I’ve got an idea about what I can do with soap bubbles, but it’s not something related only with “photography/art”… you’ll see.

Getting closer…

Dad’s birthday

Today my father turned 57!

Instead of drinking to

mom baked a cake.
As often heppens in this kind of occasions.

She cooks pretty well and, who doesn’t love cakes?!

My mother is pretty patient too, she had to stand me jumping all around her while she was preparing the cake because I’ve been shooting pictures for all the time.
Today I had decided to take pictures instead of helping in baking (maybe she prefers this?! )

I think daddy enjoyed the cake… in a few minutes half of it disappeared.

Well, he didn’t eat all of that half, we were in 4 tonight at dinner, but he had at least a second slice.

P.S If the subject in the pictures above is not clear, just click on them to have a few more “details” about the it.

P.P.S. I spent most of my free time in taking pictures of the “coming cake”

Therefore I just had  the time to take a few test-picture of “that thing you can easily find in a home”.
I’ll try to do more test tomorrow. It’s not a difficult thing to picture, it’s just I want to try to reach something that is not still 100% clear in my mind.

Palm Sunday

Two by Two

Since I haven’t go out today and I’ve a terrible lack of imagination, I decided that part of the “project” will be focused on “documenting” the sunflower growth.

Something close to a scientific curiosity, or better just curiosity, than an effective form of “art”.

That’s me too, sorry!

If I’m not wrong it forms two symmetrically placed leaves per “level”,  and each leaf-level is orthogonal to the previous one.

I’m not sure what happens soon before it forms the bud… we’ll see!

I know I might check on wikipedia or anywhere else, and find proper description, but I enjoy to observe nature with my own eyes and picture it when possible.

The English man with the lupara

An old stuff coming from Grandma’s house.

I guess it meant to be an English man with a shotgun, but the gun is broken now, so it looks more like an “English man with a lupara [sawn-off shotgun].

I hope the gun was broken due to an incident and not to a “creative” action made from a relative of mine.

Note

I didn’t pick the camera today. It had been a crazy day.

What a coincidence considering the fact that 54 days ago I created a post for today. I’m not kidding, it has been a crazy day that gave me no time to take pictures and I had anyway a 26th March picture. The  year is wrong but ok.

I think I’ll forgive me if sometimes, hope no more, I will find no time to pick the camera but I’ll be able to publish an old picture taken in the same of another year + another “extra picture” I’ve taken since march 13th 2010 that I had not published yet.

There is a new gallery for this project. “A picture a day… keeps blackness away”.

How the day looked like today.

I guess “eyes on fire” are a problem for everyone, but, for someone who has to study and who loves taking picture and gets contact with people mainly through the web, a day of “eyes on fire” sounds more like a “standby day”

I just bothered my mother and my boyfriend and wasted water with a shower.

It’s a lovely day, isn’t it?
