365.90: Rearranging

We took in a subtenant in the office and had to rearrange. That meant taking all the books off the bookshelves before moving them. We stupidly stacked them on the table—the same table we needed to move the next day, necessitating more book shuffling.

365.89: Some progress with Chia Obama

The Chia Obama seems to have a design flaw. The water seeps out too quickly, so the top of his head is relatively less moist than the bottom. Subsequently, his “hair” grows better toward the bottom but not on top. I wonder if the president would be pleased to know that his Chia likeness exhibits [...]

365.88: Karaoke, Part 2

This photo and the last one will reveal a bit of a not-so-scandalous secret. I don’t really blog these photos to Kublog the day I take them. Often, I do them in batches and then timestamp them for the date they were taken on. As you can see, this photo is from the same session [...]

365.87: Karaoke

For self-portraits, I’ve set my camera’s custom self-timer mode to shoot five photos with a two-second delay between each. While singing, I set the camera to self-timer, and balanced it on a glass. It managed to take some crappy photos before someone grabbed it and took this one. We went to Duet 48 on East [...]

365.86: Anselmo’s Coal Oven Pizzeria

As part of my job, I have to take photos for the food-blogging I do. So I try to avoid using them for “365″ shots. But sometimes I forget to take a separate non-work-related photo and have to rely on something I shot for one of the sites. At least this one isn’t food itself. [...]

365.85: Playground at night

On the way back from league bowling night at The Gutter.

365.84: The Gowanus Canal

Another shot of the Gowanus Canal, this time from Union Street looking south. I took this on the way home from having dinner with some friends and former coworkers at Martha Stewart Living.

365.83: Street cart photo shoot

Rafiqi’s street carts are redoing their menus. I caught the guys in action on a photo shoot. Currently, dishes are pictured on the carts’ menus in Styrofoam containers. The new visual menus will feature plated food instead.

365.82: ‘Lotto Center’

I think it actually sold more than lottery tickets, but it would be funny if there were a store that only sold scratchers and Powerball. Taken on the way back from a burger-scouting mission at The Half King.
