This is nothing new really, it's been done many times before. You can find numerous websites and blogs that have a "one photo a day" gallery. So why am I doing it? Well, it all comes down to the simplicity of having a camera within the iPhone. I don't have to carry my professional camera all the time and yet I can capture the things that are happening around me. It's a bit awkward sometimes to hold a camera in front of somebody but with people being so used to cell phones with cameras, I think they feel more at ease. They're not thinking if they're photogenic or not, they accept that it's just a quick snap. Some of the pictures though, will be taken with a Canon 400 D as well. Oh, and I've been wanting to have a visual diary for some time now.
Anyway, I'll try my best to keep this thing going on a tight schedule. I don't know if I can find interesting images every day. We'll just have to see what comes up. In the meantime, I have here a few head-start pictures. The starting date is the 19th of may, 2008.
Day 1 - May 19, 2008. This image was taken at the Wellington Airport. The logo is quite clever for you can see how they use the Tui's (a New Zealand native bird) tuft to simulate that it's wearing jewellery. Taken around 11 am.
Day 2. May 20, 2008. 7 am. View from my window. Spectacular!!
Day 3: May 24. 2:24 pm. Hanging out with the posse. It was a really slow day, it was cloudy and cold, just a regular Wellington winter day. We hung around town window shopping and having hot chocolates.
Day 4: May 25, 2008. 5:01 pm. Heading out to Te Aro Videoshop to get The Notorious Bettie Page video and The Black Dahlia. Good day to keep inside really. It's still gray and gloomy. Yet another example of fine art that abounds in the streets of Wellington, hahahaha.
Day 5: May 26, 2008. 8:51 am. Heading to work. Pedestrian sign. Similar to those posted sometime before.
May 29. After dark. Went out for some hot chocolate and a piece of cheesecake. The place to go is Espressoholic. You can always find food when most of the places in town have closed their kitchens. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and you get a real eclectic mixture of people coming in to the place. The price for a bowl of hot choc is fantastic, but apart from the food and people, what I really dig are the table tops. Every table has a different design and most of them have illustrations by a guy who signs under the name of Morse. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything about him on the net. The image above is just one of his sexy female creations... I know that they can be considered furries but they still have a very nice trace. If you happen to be in the area, check out the art!
