daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Photos/images that I have made. Sometimes with a description, sometimes just the photo.
Had a great day today, but I think I’ll just share this photo of a cloud that Bay and I saw when we went to his school’s open house this evening. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of making cloud photos. 😄

I am very tired and falling asleep, but I wanted to post this photo, which is of my Pinky:St figurine, as seen through the viewfinder of my Fujifilm X100T camera, but backwards. As if she were the photographer. If you are on Instagram, feel free to follow me there!
I hope you had a nice Thursday. Can you believe it’s already September?

Today’s photo is of Fuchiko, the tiny OL (office lady) who appears in people’s photos, usually perched on the edge of a a cup or glass. Mariko went shopping and came home with a bunch of blueberries and I wanted to take a photo of them for Instagram, but then I thought it would be a little more interesting with Fuchiko in the photo.
So… a little bit of drama in this one! I guess I was inspired a bit by the awesome Instagram feed of Takuya Tanaka. He’s so creative!
I hope you had a nice Wednesday!

Tonight’s photo is of our kitchen island, which doesn’t look too messy when everything is blurry!
Since my family is away, the island hasn’t been used for preparing food, but rather I’ve been using it as a chemistry lab. And by that, I mean that the island is where I have been testing the aquarium water. 😜 In the photo, you might be able to make out the 10 ml syringe, the colorful booklet to check the water quality, and the log book.
It’s almost vacation time for me. Just one more day of work and then I am outta here!
Talk to you later.

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?
Today, the clouds seemed to go on forever. I’m not sure if this year is any different as far as beautiful cloud days or if I am just looking for them more, but I’m definitely enjoying it! I hope it continues. ☁️
I hope you had a nice day.

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?
Well, it’s been a while since I have posted anything to Instagram. I wonder if it is that I just needed a break, or because I am adjusting to my summer bachelor life? Probably a bit of both. But I have been keeping up with my 366-daily-photo project which I post over on Flickr. Still going strong! 😃
I think I spend more time editing my Instagram images than I do my Flickr images, which hasn’t always been the case. I think the spirit of Instagram was originally “instant” and everyday snapshots, and I used to treat it like that. But now Flickr is that way for me. It’s funny how things change.
Below is another photo of that cloud formation, but after just a few minutes. Clouds change shapes so quickly, but it is hard to notice in real-time.
See you tomorrow!

I paused briefly in the parking lot to take this photo of a cloud directly overhead. One quick snap and then to the car to escape the Texas summer heat. Clouds are amazing, though, aren’t they? ☁️
This photo is in response to the Photo Challenge “Look Up”.
