Fog, Boots, and The Last Typewriter Factory

Wow, compiling this week’s post of the Spurred project almost gave me a heart attack. Normally I just open my Spurred set on Flickr and just grab the next eight on the list from where I left off, but when I did that the dates were all out of order and some were missing. I thought I’d missed two days and was so upset, but then I realized that I’d uploaded them, I just forgot to put them in the set. Whew, crisis averted.

My favorite photo in this set is “Home”, because even though I talk a good game, I really did enjoy that fog. My least favorite is without a doubt flower- because I didn’t have the energy to think of something better (or shoot an actual flower, since it was raining) so I just took a shot of my umbrella. But I didn’t even bother going outside because it was raining and I’m still terrified of protecting my camera- even though it’s weather sealed.

I’m having a hard time remembering a factoid for this set, so if you have any questions about how I took these photos, let me know and I’ll be sure to answer.

“Food” (April 22nd)

“Window” (April 23th)

More faux film actions in the making.

“Focus” (April 24th)

“Famous” (April 25th)

The world’s last typewriter factory shut down this week.

“Artificial” (April 26th)

First time I ever painted the french tip on myself. I really like it because it looks natural and even more so because I used a creamy off white instead of white. I also filed them down pretty short because I’d be helping a friend move on Saturday and don’t want them getting in the way.

“Home” (April 27th)

I had such a beautiful shot in mind for home, but this fog had to go and spoil it.

“Shoes” (April 28th)

I considered the name “Boots” when I first brought home Pumpkin because he has perfect white shoes on each of his paws, but I didn’t end up going with it because it wasn’t unique enough to him. I brought him home in October, he was a beautiful autumn orange, and I wanted his name to reflect my favorite season. (I went with Pumpkin Cider, because I felt badly naming a boy “Pumpkin”, but it truly fit him and everyone just called him Pumpkin and so over time it was just shortened to Pumpkin.)

“Flower” (April 29th)
