Day 477 - Hallway - 09.09.12

It was another music filled day.  The later afternoon into the evening was particularly music filled around the house.  So this is a photo of the music flowing out of the record room into the rest of the house.  It was something I saw today.

Day 476 - Matryoshka Dolls - 09.08.12

I've featured these Matryoshka dolls before.  I barely left the house today.  I spent almost 10 hours reorganizing my record room.  Now I don't want to do anything but enjoy listening to records and perhaps read some comic books.  Not in the mood for searching for a photo.  So these dolls by the front door were something I saw today.

Day 475 - Pink and Purple Sky - 09.07.12

I know this isn't really what the sky looked like at sunset, but I don't care.  It was amazing.  Don't get me wrong, but when I threw this filter on the shot in Lightroom it just became something else entirely.  I don't even have the right words to describe it. All I can say is that this was something I saw today.

Day 474 - Lucky Pony - 09.06.12

Annual poker tournament at work today during lunch.  One player had a lucky pony on the table.  It was something I saw today.

Day 473 - Pink Clouds at Dawn - 09.05.12

Skies like this one I saw this morning should be enough to inspire me to get my lazy bones out of bed every morning.  Then again you only get amazing skies like this if there are clouds in the sky to catch the light.  Southern California is not very consistent with the clouds.  Anyways this morning was brilliant and this was something I saw today.

Day 472 - Spider Web - 09.04.12

This giant spider web was just glistening in the sun as I walked out of work today.  It was something I saw today.

Day 454 - Ice Water - 08.17.12

Picked up my daughter from her ABT Summer Intensive Program today. To avoid traffic coming back we stopped off at Downtown Disney for dinner and a little shopping.

Day 453 - Randy's Donuts - 08.16.12

After visiting my daughter at her ABT class my wife and I decided to head up the 405 to finally make a pilgrimage to Randy's Donuts.  This has been on my list of things to do for a long time.

Went to a dinner for work this evening.  Broke out the camera after dinner and took a few photos around the tables.  This empty glass was something I saw today.

Day 451 - Alley Plant - 08.14.12

Just trying to keep it interesting.  I may have failed a little with this one.  By the end of the day I was tired and didn't want to hunt too much for a photo.  While taking the trash can to the back of the house I passed this plant growing in the alley.  It wasn't a great photo.  I tried to spice it up in post, but it still is pretty lame, but I'm too beat to start all over.  So this is it.  This was something I saw today.

Day 450 - Baby's BBs - 08.13.12

This colorful food truck was at work this evening as I left.  It was something I saw today.

Day 449 - Flo's Cafe - 08.12.12

Spent the day at Disneyland.  My wife and I went to meet up with out daughter who was going with her dance camp group.  However the reality of the day was that once we gave her a backpack that we brought from home, she went off with her new friends and we never met up again for the rest of the day.  My wife and I took it easy all day only going on 3 rides. We did our best to just pace ourselves and stay hydrated because my goal was to stay until the evening just so I could take photos in Radiator Springs at night.  This is one of the photos of Flo's Cafe that I took tonight.  It was something I saw today.

Day 448 - Burbank Buildings and Hills - 08.11.12

My wife and I went to downtown Burbank this evening to just walk around and I was looking for a photo.  We parked on the roof of one of the parking garages and I took this photo looking over San Fernando back toward the Burbank hills.  It was something I saw today.

This bottle of honey was out in the kitchen at work when I was leaving.  It was something I saw today.

Day 443 - Po - 08.06.12

Another pic from work.  On my floor in the kitchen area there is a huge Po statue that was used for publicity I think for Kung Fu Panda 2.  I took this close up before heading home.  It was something I saw today.

Day 442 - Pterri - 08.05.12

Relied on one of my classic subjects, toys, today.  A while back while looking for use picture frames at some thrift stores, we found this Pterri doll.  Sure it is kind of beat up and not in mint condition, but I didn't care.  Plus it was only a couple buck.  It was a nice addition for our small collection of Pee-Wee items.  I took it off the shelf today to photograph.  It was something I saw today.

Took it easy with the photo for today.  This is the trash bin in one of our bathrooms.  It was something I saw today.

Day 440 - The Demon - 08.03.12

Today I had the pleasure of being invited to participate in a horror photo shoot.  It was something I had never done before on many, many levels.  We shot at a studio.  We had actors/models.  I had "studio lighting".  I put that in quotes because it was really shop lights, but still it was more than I had ever used before.  We had costumes and make up.  So yes, it was a lot of firsts for me.  At the end of the day I had quite a few really stunning or interesting images which made it really hard to choose just one.  I kind of wanted one with all the models, but in the end this single portrait won out because to me it is just creepy.  It was something I saw today.

Day 439 - Shrimp - 08.02.12

Shrimp!  Yum!  Barb made super tasty shrimp tacos tonight.  When I got home this plate of shrimp was something I saw today.
