Day Ninety Seven - Cleaner

I had my camera with me in the cafe this morning when I met up with Tys to do more filming for a job we're working on. This was completely candid and I basically just picked up the camera as this guy was cleaning the outside of the window next to me and snapped him. He didn't seem to care. I do quite like the feel of the photo though. Candids are quite fun.

Day Ninety Five - Sillhouetted Kitten

Kitty had to take a visit to Katie's Gran's place today so the landlord could do work on the house. She didn't seem to mind too much, spending half the day under a bookshelf and the other half gazing out the windows.

Day Ninety Four - Familiar Scene

This is a familiar scene on my front porch.
My brother Toby and my good friend and housemate Laz.

I love the tones in this photo. Laz is all rugged up and almost looks as if he's come straight back from the war or something. Gives me an idea for another photo actually!!

Day Ninety Three - Inspection

That time of the month again when Kitten has to be out of the house because certain people don't like her being here. It's the same deal with bluetack on the walls. In a house as shit as this I have no idea why they give a fuck about a few posters. The paint in the entire house is peeling everywhere and the walls are full of patched areas and bulging water damage. I really don't understand. Our real estate agent is a wanker. The hallway has water seeping through the wall, the entire back end of the house is mouldy, there are ants all through the kitchen and through the bathroom now also.

I really don't understand with all these bad qualities, why having a small cat in the house is a problem. Then she has the nerve to tell us the roof of the bathroom has mould on it and it's entirely our fault. Maybe if the exhaust fan worked as it was supposed to and the house wasn't so dank it wouldn't be a problem. Would also be nice if they'd got around to fixing our back door which doesn't latch closed and hasn't since we moved in over 7 months ago due to moisture.

What makes things worse is the fact that kitten is about to let all her little kittens out of her in the next week. Having little kittens running around will be cute though.

Day Ninety Two - Sweets

Katie and I went out to Richmond today to buy lollies. It started raining when we got out there but after a little while it cleared.

$18 later and we had a nice little pile of sugar to eat. =)

Day Ninety One - Iphone

I needed a new phone and Toby got one of these a little while back. I liked it and basically walked into Telstra shop in the hope of renewing my plan and they offered me one for free. I'd be a little silly if I said no.

Day Ninety - Royal Derwent

I went out to RDH again this morning with Mark to take some scene shots for the short film we're filming out there week after next. The script is complete and we're in the process of gathering photos and mapping out where certain scenes will be filmed at the vacant site.

This one's inside the Admin Building. There's a bunch more photos from the day and some from last year over on my flickr.

Day Eighty Nine - Leo

This little guy spotted me with my camera taking some photos in town and instantly ran from his mum and bounded up to me. It was really rather cute. He sat next to me really shy until I asked his name and asked if he was interested in my camera. He introduced himself quietly and asked if I could take his photo and posed for me. Pretty much made my day. =)

Tys was filming at the same time gathering some random city footage and swung the camera round. I captured a few screenshots of that also as it's rather cute.

On top of that Tys and I got a lot of other filming done for a client today which involved visiting a really nice elderly woman with a house filled with all sorts of interesting trinkets including a bunch of WWII gear and a full size zebra skin hanging on the wall behind the stairs. Amazing!
