The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and this virus is till trying to kill me. The animals like to sun themselves in the warm midday rectangles that creep along our livingroom floor. The skylights are an excellent way to get great high contrast portraits.

...fiftyseven/threehundredsixtyfive...
This "shot a day" thing is getting hard. I hate being an overacheiver. Sometimes I don't have the will or time to set up a really great photo and have to settle for what I can just snap.
Luckily, I have this cutie-pie [and whatever that canine-ish thing is] around.

Our daughter was doing some schoolwork up in our loft wedged in a little corner behind a couch and watching her brother playing wii down below.
Bingo, picture time!
Me: "Look through the railing again."
Daughter: "Why?"
Me: "Because it was cute and I'm taking pictures"
Daughter: "uuuughh..."
Me: "Pleeease?"
Daughter: "UUUGHHH...okay. But first, how do you spell cob, like with corn."
ME: "You know how to spell cob."
Daughter: "Is it a K or a C?"
Me: "What do you think?"
Daughter: "C?"
ME: "Yup, now just put your face like it was before"
Daughter: "Like this?"
Me: "No, like it was before"
Daughter: "This way?"
Me: "No, your arm wasn't in front of your face"
Daughter: "uuuugh..."
Me: "THERE! good don't move for just a sec"
Daughter: "This hurts my face"
Me: "You don't have to ram your head into the wood, just rest it there."
Daughter: "Are you done?"
Me: "Yes sweetie, could you just leave your hands there for a sec"
Daughter: "okay"
I was trying for nearly 20 minutes to get the dog to poke her head through the rungs and look at me. I got a treat and set it just out of tongue reach on the ledge. That worked. This is her looking at me and wondering why I'm torturing her.

...twelve/threehundredsixtyfive...
A new lens came in the mail today. Totally free of charge (Thanks Auntie).
Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.8D
She said it was broken but I cannot find a flaw. I didn't really know what she was giving me. I was expecting more material for my bracelets but it will live out the rest of it's days in my camera bag.
So I came home today and obviously wanted to try the new toy. So I called my dog to the living room and put her in "sit". She looks up at me so cute, I put my eye to the viewfinder and... she's gone. This repeats itself at least 5 times, she's a pug and unfortunately not perfectly trained.
So I finally have an epiphany, TREATS!
Treat in hand, I call her back to the livingroom rug. She's kinda freaked out at this point because I've said her name a billion times, my wife and son are having a math homework meltdown at the table across the room and my daughter is parroting my calls to the poor dog from the couch. Meanwile I haven't given her a treat. Poor Pearl [dog] thinks it must be nail clipping time or some other cruel torture.
Now I having just met this pretty new lens, we needed some adjustment time. The only flaw I'd say was the focus is just a tad sluggish but I wasn't in the best lighting either.
So while I'm framing and focusing, dog looking away, calling the dog, framing and focusing, dog looking away, calling the dog, faming and focusing... I finally just mash the shutter on continuous shooting and finally it come's together.
While I'm flipping through to find the perfect shot hidden within the many blurred/out of focus shots on my camera, I forget the treat is still in my hand.
I look up and she's sitting still, staring at me in the cutest head tilted pug way, not moving an inch. So I put my camera to my eye...and she's gone. I give up.
The cat is much more cooperative, he's very low drama.
