304/366 Band of Light, originally uploaded by Amberture.

I'm experimenting with exposure here but my camera's autofocus was having trouble and didn't want to lock onto the door. And clearly I have no concept of "blurry" vs. "sharp."

303/366 Two Pumpkins, originally uploaded by Amberture.

George bought these pumpkins for some huge sum of money thinking we would actually carve them. I'm not sure where the plan was supposed to go from that point because we live in an apartment and don't have a balcony or a porch.

In any case, they are still exactly where they have been for two weeks now. I suppose we'll eventually throw them out.

302/366 Dressers, originally uploaded by Amberture.

I'm always taking bathroom mirror self-portraits when I shoot at home so I thought I'd try something different today. Barring my lack of strobes or even an outlet close by to try janky side lamps, the light is far too directional from above but you'll have to live with it!

The dresser is neato but the bed is too high up and creates an unattractive leading line down with the circular handles.

301/366 The Rejects, originally uploaded by Amberture.

Poor mangled, ugly pumpkins. Some shmuck kid is going to get stuck with these because his mom couldn't get it together in time.

300/366 Looking Back, originally uploaded by Amberture.

I shot a whole bunch of stuff but nothing was really very interesting. I like the rim lighting a lot but I was definitely missing a beat.

298/366 Pentagon Memorial, originally uploaded by Amberture.

George and I took a nice walk Friday evening down to the new Pentagon Memorial. And this is it. No giant stone carvings, ornate columns or ostentatious fountains with gold trim. To be honest, it felt a little subdued. Where is the fanfare for the celebrated fallen? Instead we get a bunch of benches and some miniature pools that have now filled with gravel.

297/366 Butternut Squash, originally uploaded by Amberture.

George bought this butternut squash at a farm when I was away. I cooked up half of it but refused to touch the second half - I in no way am desirous to cook five pounds of squash.

295/366 Winter Coming, originally uploaded by Amberture.

Between when I left and coming back from the road trip, the weather got markedly colder. As such, I've had to start wearing sweaters and scarves and jackets and all the clothes that mean winter is well on its way.

This is George. Not much to say about this one either.

292/366 Flash, originally uploaded by Amberture.

This is David. There's not really much more to say about this picture.

291/366 Heroin, originally uploaded by Amberture.

Having wrapped up our road trip the night before, David and I headed down the hill to the DEA Museum where we snapped up some lovely photos of old bottles of narcotics (legal then). The museum was better than we expected but not that great.

We then proceeded to cook an enormous dinner and gorge ourselves, which is just about all we ever do when David is around.
