Some are ok, some are horrible. I’m trying to find the right balance between not being an annoying all day photographer and still getting a good shot or two of something… Also… I swear I’m going to try and not wait 10 days before posting again!

Day 30 – El Gato del Fuego… silly kitteh.

El Gato del Fuego

Day 31 (2/1) – Detroit Ruins – If there is traffic on I-94 heading to work in the morning, we’ll often get off early and take Michigan Ave into town. The state of the city out there is a pretty clear example what used to be a thriving metropolitan, but is now quite literally in a state of ruin. It is both sad and beautiful.

Day 32 (2/2) – Liquor and Henna

Day 33 (2/3) – Superbowl – Didn’t get any super awesome shots, so I took this one and applied some super awesome vintage presets. I say, good enough.

Day 34 (2/4) – YOLO – True story.

Day 35 (2/5) – Ashley’s 30th Anniversary – Had many an awesome Bell’s beer at this event, a lot of bourbon barrel-aged stouts! :)

Day 36 (2/6) – Renaissance Glow – Detroit seems to be coming back, slowly but surely.

Day 37 (2/7) – Carnival in the City – Setting up for the Winter Blast in Detroit.

Project 365 – Days 23 to 27 http://www.jewlofthelotus.com/2013/01/27/project-365-days-23-to-27/ http://www.jewlofthelotus.com/2013/01/27/project-365-days-23-to-27/#comments Mon, 28 Jan 2013 04:33:18 +0000 http://www.jewlofthelotus.com/?p=8586 I have mixed thoughts on this newest edition of photos. A few of them came out alright, a few of them are pretty weak. That being said, I’m also not putting 100% into this project. It is just too time consuming and I have a lot that I want to do. So we’ll see what happens. I don’t plan on stopping. Maybe my quality will get better on it’s own. Or maybe I’ll find new ways to be creative.

Day 23 – Hot Apple Toddy. Enjoying a nice hot adult beverage on an icy cold day.
