living spaces

When I first bought my new camera in May, I fiddled around with it mostly by taking various test shots of people's apartments and houses (my own included), since I still had my kit wide angle lens.   A few months later, having stumbled upon the photos by accident, I noticed there was something that was a little nostalgic and interesting about photographs of living spaces. Here are a few that I particularly liked. 

This is my sister.

This is somebody's grandmother.

I'm not sure who she is.

double exposure portraits

I've been fooling around with some "double exposure" portraits lately.

things i've eaten (cooked) this summer: may & june edition

Soft boiled egg on toast with avocado & spinach (taken from this Smitten Kitchen recipe)

Lemon garlic flat roasted chicken with roasted vegetables (these are the left overs, looking surprisingly tasty even when sitting in tupperware!) Chicken recipe taken from Shutterbean (highly recommend it!) 

An omelette a day keeps the doctor away!! (This is a most untrue statement, for my almost-daily omelettes are loaded with salt, butter, and lots of cheese - as well as mushroom, asparagus, red pepper, onion & whatever else I happen to fancy before heading off to work...) 

Extra protein chili! I often add quinoa as a ground beef replacement when I make vegetarian chili, but this time, I decided to go all out and combine ground beef and quinoa, in addition to kidney beans and chickpeas, zucchini, corn & red pepper. 

Curry fried rice! I tried this for the first time a couple of nights ago after seeing my roommate make it a few times. Ingredients included: jasmine rice, cumin, curry powder, edamame, asparagus, red pepper, scallions, 2 eggs (beaten & fried), & mushroom. 

A plant sitting on my friend's balcony! I did not eat this. 

airports, trains, metros, & some places in between.

I have been a tired person lately.  For various reasons, I have found myself shuffling back and forth between provinces and cities, and if the past few weeks have taught me anything, it's that I am certainly not suitable for a future career which requires frequent traveling.  These photos were all taken on an iphone (edited with Photoshop CS5), which seems to have replaced my trusty Canon due to the fact that I always have it on me - also, that it can do things my dSLR cannot (mainly, taking secret photos of passersby without drawing attention).
