DAY 104

Our shower is broken again. It won't drain correctly, so the bottom of the shower fills up, eventually setting all our shampoos and conditioners afloat. When the water finally drains an hour later, this is what it looks like:

DAY 102

My favorite dollar-store mug in which Jesus, as Alex Goodman pointed out, appears to be smoking:

DAY 101

I didn't actually end up taking any pictures at retreat with my own camera. Instead, every so often throughout the night I would see something and think, "This would make a good picture," but then I didn't want to miss anything by running to get my camera, so I never took any pictures. Oh well, no regrets.

But this turned out to be a lie, because I forgot that I had taken a picture of Jimmy passed out on the couch.

However, I did end up playing with someone else's camera. BLT, who came specifically to photograph our retreat, showed me how to use his $3000 camera. It was amazing. I didn't realize how much better a camera you can get if you just throw in a couple thousand dollars more. BLT told me that the big difference between my DSLR and his is that his has a larger depth of field. This means that the camera sees things more like the human eye, instead of cropping it like mine does. Also, it has a way better focusing system - it can literally focus on ahair. The pictures come out looking so professional, with people's faces illuminated perfectly. And the close-ups are amazing. Wow, I am so in love.

Here are the shots from BLT's nice camera:

Anyway, today's photo, in order to best illustrate our post-retreat morning-after state, is of Loosine curled up on a couch back at our apartment, taken with the $3 camera.

DAY 100

TRIPLE DIGITS!!! I'm so proud of us for making it this far. Other people also taking the photo-a-day challenge: Laraine, Gina, Liz, Alanna, Alli, Robert, and Vivian. Thanks, guys, for making sure I stay on track and don't miss any days. :)

My photo for today was taken with the $3 camera and is kind of crappy because I didn't actually intend for it to be the photo of the day but I didn't end up taking any more photos that day. Anyway, it's a picture of Diana's and Loosine's legs underneath a table at a pita sandwich restaurant in Hermosa.

DAY 099

The view of LA from Griffith, where we experienced one of the most amazing planetarium shows in existence:

DAY 098

Today's photo of the day is Jeff, Gwen, and Hanna at Hammer Bike Night, which ended up being kind of a bust since we got there late, but we did get to see Pee Wee Herman. Win?
