CY365: Week 3

I finished Week 3! I finished these so out of order.....

CY365: Week 2

I finally finished the set for week 2!

CY365: Week 1

Here's the first set of pictures from the CY365 project!

So that's how it works.

I mentioned before that I was going through some old photos from when I first came to Japan. While doing that, I came across pictures from a bit of a fiasco that my friend Marthe and I had. She and I had bought some egg molds and tried using them. Unfortunately we had no idea how to use them. At all. And my Japanese at that time was really bad, so we just guessed.  

We thought we needed to crack the egg open into the mold and then boil it. It seemed strange, but we couldn't come up with an other idea. There was no picture of the actual result, but Marthe's face said it all....

 Some years later, I came across molds again and with my developed Japanese reading skills, I decided to try again. (Let's be clear, my Japanese skills aren't amazing, but they were nearly non-existent when I first got here.)

 This time I boiled the egg, and after peeling the shell, I stuck it in the mold. Then I closed the mold and stuck it in the fridge. A little bit later, I went back, opened the mold, and...

 Success! 

Marthe, you should come back and try again now!

CY365 Photo Challenge: Intro

Every year I think about trying a photo challenge, and every year I end up failing at the start and then giving up. This year, I'm taking a completely different approach. Hopefully in the end, I'll stick with it more because of that.

Here's basically what's going on - I'll be using the daily prompts from Capture Your 365. I'll try to complete all the prompts but the timing is not in anyway strict. I'll try to accomplish each prompt within a month of it's day, but that's about it. I'll be loading the pictures on instagram, and then when I finish 6 or 7 consecutive prompts, I'll post them here.

I'm aware that most pictures won't be good - consider this a warning. I'm not really doing this in order to improve my photography skills. It's mainly for working on creativity. I tend to think very literally and logically, so I want to use this challenge to hopefully change that even just a little. So I hope that you'll keep checking back, but please don't expect brilliant works of art.

Anywho...
