26/365 - Shoot Pictures, Not People:
My dad just recently gave me this pin that he found in his old camera bag from the 70s, I really liked it so I thought I’d make it a 365 shot.
25/365 - The Perfect Cup:
Following yesterday’s shot of tea leaves, I thought I’d share the tea in it’s final state.
My last white backdrop for a while, I promise.
Strobist:
SB-900 into lastolite diffuser panel, behind subject.
24/365 - Liquid Heaven:
Hi my name is Sean, and I am a tea addict.
There is no question that I love tea and drink several cups every day, so I thought it was only fitting that I do a few shots in my 365 of my preffered beverage of choice.
This tea is one of my favorites, a green tea called Jasmine Dragon Pheonix Pearls from Teavana.
I shot this particular shot so I could use it as a destop wallpaper, so feel free to grab the large size and do the same! Grab an alternate version here if you have 2 monitors: flickr.com/gp/mcgraths/PV8dQ1

She’s gorgeous. I’m lucky.

23/365 - Shadowplay:
This photo is largely inspired by this shot taken by a friend.
I didn’t want to texture this shot, but the wall in this photo was so rough and terrible I had to cover it up some how!
Strobist:
SB-900 far camera left, at 200mm, triggered with skyports
22/365 - The Mixed Tape:
This is my tribute to the once mighty mixed tape.
There is just something about making a mixed tape that you don’t get today with burnt CDs and MP3 players. The amount of work it took in finding the songs, aligning them and planning the tape so that you could get the most music on both sides. Not to mention, the recording was done in REAL time! For those who’ve never made one…it would take a couple hours to plan and make a good mixed tape.
Then there was that first listen once it was finished that made all the hard work totally worth it.
Strobist:
SB-900, bare camera right, zoomed to 200mm, triggered via CLS
21/365 - Jackalope
This is my brother inlaw Jack. I had this idea for a funny portrait and knew he was the perfect one to pull it off. Of all the portraits I’ve done I think these are some fo the best at capturing the subject’s personality.
Turns out balancing antlers on your head is next to impossible, so that is why he is up against the wall in 2 of the photos.
Strobist:
Single SB-900 into Ezybox high overhead camera at 1/32 power. Triggered with Skyports.

A few snaps that were 365 contenders from the other day. Taken uptown Saint John.
20/365 - The Changing Room:
I thought I’d mix things up a little bit and post an iPhone photo today.I’ve been shooting a lot on 4 different formats lately so I’d like to try and incorporate as much variety as possible.
Those four formats are: Nikon DSLR, iPhone, Medium Format film, and a Fuji Instax
This shot was taken while I was waiting for my wife in the changing rooms, and processed use the ShakeItPhoto iPhone app.
19/365 - Another Scan:
Another scan from my first roll today. This will be my last til the next roll comes in.
I’m not sure why I like this picture so much, just something about it. I can’t really see anyone else liking it, so really this one is just for me.
Yashica 124 - Fuji Pro 160S - Medium Format - No post at all
18/365 - Atticus on Film:
Finally shot my first roll of film ever (other than when I’d use my parents film as a child), and I must say I’m pretty happy with the results. The photos aren’t mind blowing or anything, as I just shot them quickly so I’d be able to see if the camera was actually working. I am just happy that they turned out, and that I know that the old camera I bought on eBay actually works!
The camera is a Yashica Mat-124 medium format TLR. The first roll I used was Fuji Pro 160s. I had it processed and scanned at a local lab.

A Woman Responds to Booty Call on Facebook thinking it was private. So funny!
