shot of the day - 12.13.2010

with the weather being super spectacular these days... yes, i'm being sarcastic... i've been looking elsewhere for inspiration.  trying to see things that you see every day differently is highly difficult.  the creative juices don't flow as easily now that the old aged-ness has been kicking in in rapid force.  i suppose this is helping me stay young?

anyway, this shot is of a little umbrella i have on the top of my cabinets at work.  not quite sure where it came from.  i think it was one of the many presents we receive from the offshore schools.  it's a neat little umbrella so i tried to see what i could do with it.  used the "pinhole" setting on the LX3 to give it a lightened affect.  you can sort of see the stack of boxes in the background.  those all "belong" to me.  they have been the bain of my existence at work for the past 3 years or so.  one day they will return to offsite storage where they belong... one day... ... maybe after i retired.
