Days left in quarantine: 7 Today marks the half way mark of our quarantine. Dean and I have had a few arguments that are the result of the lack of space for both of us to have “me time”, but all-in-all we are keeping it together.

Days left in quarantine: 8 One of the things we don’t think about is the garbage. Until you are in quarantine, you go about your business and when the bin gets full, you throw it in the municipal collection bin (outside). Well, when you share a backyard with a 86 year old lady (Dean’s lovely […]

Days left in quarantine: 9 In the US, we had a fair bit of Mexican/Tex-Mex food. The food has a lot of rice and beans in it. Rice and beans are also a staple in Brazil, and recently (before the trip) I had started making rice and beans as part of my dinners. With the […]

Days left in quarantine: 10 Today is the first day back to work since I have been in quarantine. Dean will be working from home as well. Neither of us are sure what it means for him to work from home, considering he works in retail.

Yesterday, my mother-in-law had dropped off food for me to assemble for my birthday dinner. So I assembled the Lobster Thermidor and we had it with Champagne for the quarantined celebratory dinner. I also tidied up the kitchen since Dean’s foot is broken and he should avoid putting any weight on it at all costs.

Joy is a subject that interests me from a psychological/anthropological point of view; I like joyous things and like to see people enjoying themselves. But, […]

I know it’s been a very prolific long weekend in terms of posting. Just very happy, now let’s get down to the chase. I will not repeat what I have already said in the Metering post. The photos are unedited from raw files. This time used ISO 100, f / 1.8 with shutter speed varying; […]

A380s were so fashionable 5 years ago. There was no way you would go to the airport and not see one on the runway (not quite a true fact, but the sentence does have great impact). Truth is that the Airbus A380 was a force to be reckoned with. The aircraft is beautiful, albeit slightly […]
View Article As a result of today’s experiment, as explained in the Metering post, I’ve decided to continue exploring spot metering. In in the upcoming days I will search for opportunities to continue with the exercise. As a side note, I am flying out to Florida this Friday and will see if I find places I can […]
View Article I rarely speak techie here in terms of the technique, aperture, shutter speed etc. That’s probably because some of the tech stuff is secondary when taking photos. Don’t get me wrong, without the theory/techniques, the work just won’t be there. It just is more fun to talk about the experience and the result than the […]
