Welcome to Breakfast in America

My photo journal is an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever happens to catch my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, and whatever my current obsessions are. At the moment, they are clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list, backpacking and hammock camping.

    Double trouble (365: 13) – 1/19/2007. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

    My less serious alter ego strikes a blow for more fun in my pictures. I’ve been looking forward to trying out a clone shot ever since I first saw them on Flickr.   

  • Favourite Colour: Burgundy

    I would have opened a bottle of red wine too, but that way lies madness… Taken for ‘What do you want?’ brief: ‘Something in your daily life that’s your favorite color’ (Sic).

    If I have to have a favourite colour, then I guess this is currently it. It’s certainly the colour of my fountain pen, and I’ve also used it as an accent colour on a couple of walls in the living room.

    14 January and warm enough to sit in the garden

  • Breakfast (365: 5)

    06:30, and breakfast – It took me two days to get this one, and I think it could be improved by zooming in a bit. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

    Future Gary granted past Gary his wish and zoomed it in a bit.

    Something nice and simple. (re-edit). Future Gary says: A truly awful picture that might have been improved by clean glasses and more depth of field.

  • Morning Shower (365: 3)

    The camera only has a 10-second self-timer, so I had to take a load of test shots the day before so that I could get the shot right on the day. I have to get to work, so time is tight.

    This shot took lots of tries. The floor was a bit damp by the time I had finished; this picture is the best of the bunch. Posing was difficult. I was relying on water and condensation to obscure parts of the image 🙂 It didn’t work in all the shots, which was another reason why I had to take so many.

    Dressed Rehearsal – I’m not going to have much time to get my shower shot, so I need to see if it will work in advance. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.
