A little bit of this and that

Day 22: Hands:



This has a certain United Colours of Benneton thing going for it (an advertising campaign from the 1980s famous for its multi cultural casting.)

Day 20: Bokeh:



Another technical challenge. I'm not a huge fan of bokeh myself, but it's very popular. I do like this picture, in all its pink dolliness :)

Day 19: Something orange:



What could be more orange than an orange?

Day 17: Technology:



Printing first of all, and the smart phone and tablet latest.

Day 15: Silhoutte:

Half way! And this is the first of the technical challenges.



The model is Ng ye, and the weather is sucktastic.

Day 13: Yourself with 13 things:



Instead of photographing myself with 13 things, I decided to photograph myself 13 times with 1 thing and overlay the images. This was fun and I like the result a lot. You can see much more detail in the hi-res version which can be found here.

The 13 things are:
01 Elie - bjd/dolls/never forgot how to play
02 Anna Sui mirror - stuffstuffstuff
03 Spike wristband - new wave teenage years
04 BTSSB brooch - Japanese pop culture
05 Books - foundation of life
06 Skeleton - memento mori
07 Toadstools - fairy tales/myths
08 Tiara - fantasy/fandom
09 Mom's ring - in memoriam
10 Flower wristband - my job <-> feminity (performance of)
11 Bowl and spoon - food
12 Headphones - music
13 hNaoto Hello Kitty phonestraps- Hello Kitty

Day 11: Something blue:



The same thing happened as with the Something green challenge, in this case my toenails are on the blueish side of the turquoise/seawater taffy/lagoon/teal/aquamarine/azure spectrum.

This image has nothing to do with the photo challenge. It illustrates a story of me being a giant doofus that I want to share with you.

You see, several years ago I discovered BJDs, and then I wanted one (this does tie in with today's photo challenge). When I had ordered Élie I also got him a wardrobe, these sneakers being one of those purchases. But alas, they were too small. I chalked this up to them being girl sneakers and put them away (I may have halfheartedly tried to sell them on at some point).

Fast forward to about a year ago when Ng ye came to this house. A girl! So she would probably fit these sneakers right? No, too small. But Ng ye has an extra pair of smaller feet that I will totally try out one day, so I put the shoes away again.

Until today when I was messing with another pair of sneakers. I bought them at some point but they were slightly smaller than the ones in the picture so I probably didn't even try them on Élie and just put them away. They did fit Ng ye. Wait a minute... I tried the high ones again, they were too small, but I forced them a bit and it sort of worked, and the effect is very nice so I really want this to work. It's a chore getting them on with those laces, omg. I tried the second shoe but it looked all weird. I felt inside the shoe. Turns out there is a wad of tissue paper stuffed up there! And once I removed that, the shoe fit perfectly. Took the other shoe off again, yes, paper there too. Doh!

I haven't had the courage yet to see if they fit Élie XD

Day 07: Fruit:



Cooking and grocery shopping are terrible chores in the average workweek. Consequently I don't eat that well, so every day I just start with this vegetable/fruit shot, and I take a multi-vitamin. So far I have avoided scurvy :) Coffee, however, is the elixir of life.

The Hema btw, is an awesome Dutch chain of department stores, comparable to Muji.

Day 05: From a high angle:



Yeah, first photo of the resin gang! There will be more, I've used all of them :)
