Day 82
Visiting the Chicken Coupe
Anyone who’s been around Houston for any length of time knows that every spring there’s a crazy ritual called The Houston Art Car Parade. It’s hosted by The Orange Show. And being the somewhat hip and happening chick that I am, I happen to know someone who owns an art car – Sam VanBibber. I met Sam and her Gournal creating roomie Amie at the First Saturday Art Market in the Heights about a year ago and have since become a steady customer of Amie’s.
I swung by Sam and Amie’s place this afternoon to pick up the next gournal for the Polaroid Project. Amie’s handmade gournals are what I’m using to store the Polaroid Project in until it’s done and book one is quickly coming to the point of having no more pages for sticking images on. I was tickled when I saw that the chicken coupe was parked outside their place.
Besides, it’s pretty hard to be in a bad mood on a Friday afternoon when there’s cleverly created chickens right in front of you.
Day 66
Every Wednesday at lunch time you’ll find me attending the Houston City Hall Farmers Market. This market, which is part of the Urban Harvest family of Farmers Markets showcases a variety of local farmers, businesses, and street food.
My lunch usually consists of Janice Schindeler’s Words and Food Pimento Cheese spread in the form of a sandwich (and a batch to take home because it’s addicative) and then a cupcake from Frosted Betty’s Bakeshop. The cupcake in this picture is the Salted Caramel Flavor. And like all the other Frosted Betty Flavors I’ve tried. It’s delish!
Day 30
Tonight I cracked open some of the Blue 100 pack film and took some night shots. Arlan’s is a small grocery store in the area that I like to shop at and their neon out front is a favorite of mine in the area. I love the unexpected bits of color that pop up in this picture. I wasn’t expecting that at all.
After I got done with my grocery shopping last night, I was about to pull out of the parking lot when I decided to see what the results would be for the lighting on the condominiums across the street. I was pleasantly surprised but I think maybe a slightly longer exposure wouldn’t have hurt the second picture. I think the colors would have been a little clearer than they are here. Now to figure out some way to make my J210 so it can be mounted on a tripod.
