Project 365–Jan 2012

 

By now I assume everyone knows what a P365 is. This year, as per last year that went anonymously into a 3rd-party photo site, I am doing a Project 365. Keeping it simple, I am doing it from camera phone/point-and-shoot only. The idea is to create inspiration when you only have basic tools to work with instead of the real DSLR> January was busy – my creativity is someone zapped.

 

 

And yes I am aware there are more than 28 days in January….. –3 for me I did take a couple on the point & shoot but can’t find them at thm. Will edit if they appear.

37” of Imaris

 

My new laptop has a few new fun toys – like a 2 gig video card with HDMI out. Imaris on a 37” LCD anyone?

It’s pretty impressive what you can get in  a laptop nowadays.

Core i7 quad core, 8 gig ram, 2 gig nvidia, dual N-wifi, gigabit, dual video cards with the onboard intel, blu-ray player etc etc.

Rome II

So – on my way back through Rome I decided to stay in a cooler area. Closer to the traditional stuff and much busier. It felt completely different. It was pretty cool the apartment window opened up onto the gardens of some palace. Pretty cool view.

So I went out that night and wow, the romans are kind acrazy (but cool). The city was vibrant with lots of people out and about. very friendly. It was good to see people out having a good time and not trashed on alcohol. There was some march through the city (maybe part of occupy) and people just came outside and spontaneously joined it as it progressed. Found some good food, nice bars, friendly people and just wandered checking out the place. The next day i went to the vatican. Wow. so much money within the walls, so little outside. I did still have a good feel to it and you could really feel the history/religion in the place. the sistine chapel I thought was over-rated. It’s no longer a chruch – just hundreds of people in a room being told to be quite and lookig up at the roof. Michaelangelo’s cathedral on the otherhand was amazing.

Anyway – a few random pics for you to enjoy (from the camera phone as the point and shoot ran out of battery a couple of times).
