I think from this point on I'll only be blogging about the "365 Photos*" that I am most "proud" of or like the best or are actually worth blogging about....you get the idea. Part of the change up in documenting my progress is two-fold: (1) it is time consuming (also read: I'm lazy) to blog about each and every photo, especially when I'm getting accustomed to writing descriptions when I post the photo to Flickr, and (2) I don't think it's really necessary for me to blog about a photo of my dinner or other totally random photo from an exceptionally boring day.
With that said there are two photos from this past week that I really like and I think are worth sharing with everyone who happens upon my blog.
Day 61/365: March 2, 2013
I'm not sure how much the rest of the country (and world) paid attention to the Endeavour Space Shuttle making its journey to its final resting spot, but LA was abuzz with excitement because it was a pretty big deal when it happened. Not only is it awesome to say that the Space Shuttle is on exhibit in your city, but it was also a huge undertaking just getting the Space Shuttle from the airport across the city to the California Science Center. As an engineer myself, one that deals with roads, cities, utilities, etc, I thought it was very impressive. I'm actually surprised I waited this long to see the shuttle, but earlier in the week I decided it was time we see it!
I gotta say, seeing the shuttle in person was awesome. You know it's huge, but then you see it in person and you're overwhelmed with its size. And then you realize, holy shit, this thing was in space......numerous times. I was trying to find different angles and details to take photos of. I eventually captured this one as I walked along the back of the exhibition hall:
There are a ton of other exhibits at the California Science Center, but they're mainly geared towards kids so we scooted out of there soon after exiting the Shuttle exhibit. On our way out this gazebo-type art installation just outside the building caught my eye.
Technically not part of the 365 Photos, but definitely better than most of the photos I took this week.
Day 62/365: March 3, 2013
Several months ago I was at Sew Modern and saw fabric with a fleur-de-lis pattern and just had to buy it. My mom had recently given me an old pattern for bow ties, ties, and cumberbunds so I made a bow tie for my husband. I recently finished it and then couldn't figure out how to actually tie it. All the diagrams and sketches didn't make any sense at all. I finally searched for a video and the first YouTube video I found was PERFECT! I tied it on the first try! So, if you want to know how to tie a bow tie, check out this video. Since the bow tie is a bit too big for my husband I tied it around my cat:
Bailey looks so classy (and comfy) in that bow tie, doesn't he? I really want to make a kitty-sized bow tie for him. My husband wants none of that, but I keep telling him to think of it as a bow tie collar. That makes it ok, right?
