Day 18 - Morning Run

Day 5 - Portrait of a Cunning Boy

Here's an other candid portrait. If I remember correctly, I shot it just after getting my Sigma macro lens. It eases the process of taking candid portraits a lot because, using it, you don't have to be as close to your "victims" haha. It makes it much easier to catch family members unawares. Man, now it sounds like I'm a creep haha! I love those little moments you get though. They're so genuine, and I love the mood they create, like this one, pure curiosity :).

As some of you know I lost my photography spark this winter (the lack of colors outside depresses me), and I haven't really my camera to that any social events lately. I'm gonna have to start doing that again. Having found so many old nuggets in my shoebox made me realize how fun it can be.

Day 5 - Leisure

Mr and I recently decided to turn part of our attic into a gym. I was a bit surprised at the suggestion at first, but hey, what the heck! I haven't been to a gym for years, and if I had one at home, it might just be convenient enough to actually go to. So, we set up a training bike up there, a bench press, some weights, dumbbells, and... a punching bag? Yep, we've really got one! I was the last person on earth to think Mr the type to go for one. Though, I have to say, I like that you can still get surprised by someone even after 11 years of living together.

So, now we've got our own little gym to go to, and the best part is; we get to pick the music :). Today was Metallica (Black Album), followed by Tiger Army (Music from the Regions Beyond). Good stuff!

Cheers
