Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.
You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear Nothing!

I know I still have a few days of January left, but I'm pretty happy with this group so I'll go ahead and post now.

Runner-up that was almost my "MORNING" choice: (Holga 120N, Lomography Color 800 film)

morning (3)

NOTES:
Sorry (well, not really) for posting the runner-up! Sometimes it can be really hard just deciding which photos to use.

Almost pretty was another tough choice for me. The one I ended up using feels a little like cheating, but only because it isn't the shot I had in mind when I went out shooting that day. And even when I shot it I had no intention of it looking like that (it's two ducks reflected on a pond, with the print turned sideways), but when my wife saw it like that on the index card thingie from the lab she thought it looked really cool and I thought it looked, *ahem*, almost pretty.

Also - although I didn't plan it this way - I'm a little pleased that each photo (including the runner-up) was taken with a different camera. And I'm glad I got to use some film shots.

And now I just wait for the list from Old Crow for February, and start all over again. Works for me!

Looking forward to seeing the shots from everyone else!

Good job, Old Crow!
That's a really cool window -- and such a beautiful morning. And I love your idea for almost pretty.

I broke tradition here. I usually don't have cereal during the week for breakfast.

Got some weird looks with this one. I was on my stomach getting this shot and people were walking out of the building nextdoor going home from work.

I think for February I will shoot film with my AE1 Program with Black & White film. That should be a fun excursion.

There is a box on the left side of the editor that lets you fetch photos from your photo sites. It's the same as pasting the url info but slightly more interactive.

I've posted both directly and via host in the past, but hadn't posted this many at once. Guess I'm using a host this time after all. Thanks.
