Let there be light

It looks like we're gonna go ahead with our small lighting-above-dining-table project after all... I stayed late last night trying to configure in AutoCAD a random-look in hanging the paper lamps without them bumping into each other (we have 27 of them in different sizes).

Of course I could've just waited until the frame is ready and adjust and cut the cables while they're installed, but that would leave too many unknowns. Like, what total length of electric cable is needed, would they constantly need readjusting so they won't bump into each other (the 3d simulation is not realistic image-wise, but accurate geometry-wise), etc.

Photo above, random weeds I pass by while walking around, belongs to the "Everywhere Objects" series.

Dreaming of Tweety

An image from the Amsterdam series, this is a close crop of the same kitty in the other kitty picture.

Am beginning to doubt my ability to gauge the likeability factor (or lack thereof) of my photographs, because this one was just salvaged from a photo taken when the cat decided to not cooperate anymore and closed its eyes, but it turned out to be one of my more popular flickr photos anyway. Hmmm.... maybe there's just something inherently likeable about pets... (doh... they wouldn't be pets if they're not likeable, would they, now?)

Smokes

Image 3 from the "Everwhere Things" series... this is a cigarette vending machine. I had to take this picture really quickly, because in order to get the whole thing in the picture, I had to stand in the middle of the street and dodge cars passing by.

Am not sure what to write with it, so I'll just put a song with it: From KD Lang's "DRAG"






Hain't It Funny?

We made love last night
Wasn't good wasn't bad
Intimate strangers made me kinda sad
Now when I woke up this morning
Coffee wasn't on
It slowly dawned on me that my baby is gone
My baby's gone

Guess I shouldn't be so shocked
I guess I shouldn't be so surprised
Guess i sorta noticed the sadness in your eyes
All this time together
And I still feel so alone
Two of us together couldn't make this house a home
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
Oh so long

Umf maybe I'm a little bit relieved
Maybe even a little bit glad
Now that you're gone maybe I won't feel so sad
So I'm packing your things and
Leaving them outside and
Neighbours can talk themselves up into a storm I'll survive
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
Oh ... so long

Did you forget something my love
I see you're back outside
Looking at your suitcases looking oh so surprised
Hain't it funny
One of life's little jokes
Thought you'd gone for good
But you'd only gone ... for smokes
