Indoor architectural fun with the kaleidoscope Jelly Lens, which makes otherwise dull windows and ceiling tiles abstract wonders :)

So I just sold my first photo – for $450! And last night I finished a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days as part of the National Novel Writing Month challenge. Yay! I’m celebrating by catching up on a month’s worth of DVR recordings, reading, cleaning out my iTunes library, trying this newfangled Google Wave malarky, cooking a proper meal and sleeping in past 8am! Amazing!

Omigod, Toronto was a dream come true for an architectural geometric whore like me! So many gorgeous skyscrapers, many with mirrored windows! WOW!

And now, a break from all the soft flowery fuzziness with crisp, sleek architectural lines :) Taken at the futuristic looking Weill Hall at Cornell, a new $162million life sciences research facility. It looks pretty damn nifty, both when set against the blue sky and when it seems to melt into piles of white snow in winter.

Oh, how I miss fun geometric shapes. I should go on a geometric expedition soon.

Off the scale

Here’s a shot from a collaboration I did with Mr Meleager. Check out the rest on his stream here.

I shot a roll of cheap 400ISO film through my Yashica ME1, then rewound and sent it to Maryland, where Meleager reversed it to make it redscale, then shot it through his Olympus XA. Neato!

I like the weird coincidence on this one that saw my stairs and railing shot line up with his ‘Please keep off wall and railing’ sign.

More geometric awesomeness from Berlin, this time on film… cross processed on the sly at my local Walmart for mere pennies. Woo!
