Sometimes You Just Need Filler (244/365)

2011 09 01 IMG_4350w
“Most of us have only two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives; the rest is filler.”

”Generation X," Douglas Coupland (
Canadian novelist, b1961)

TIME:  11:29 PM
PLACE:  Kitchen
SUBJECT:  Jack

It is almost 11:30pm.  You are tired and ready to go to bed.  You then realize that while you thought about what picture you should take today, you didn’t actually press the shutter at any time.  So now you have no photo to go along with your day.  You decide, the hell with it, and go for the old reliable…the Jackster.  You add a quick bit of Photoshopping and you’re done.  That was easy.

Orange Peel (265/365)

2010 09 22 IMG_3555w 
“Try not thinking of peeling an orange. Try not imagining the juice running down your fingers, the soft inner part of the peel. The smell. Try and you can't. The brain doesn't process negatives.”

Douglas Coupland (Canadian novelist, b1961)

TIME:  6:28 PM
PLACE:  YMCA soccer fields
SUBJECT:  Shed wall

Soccer practice was on the agenda again for StellaDella this evening.  It goes without saying that she needed to use the facilities during the hour-long event.  Lucky for me, this weathered orange shed was located right next to the Johnny-On-The-Spots.
