Red Over Yellow
2013-04-08
At the end of a extraordinarily exciting and entertaining NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, Louisville (red) defeated Michigan (yellow) 82-76.
It just happened about an hour ago!
This is my tribute photo.

Here's my first super wide angle daily, using the Tokina 11-16 I rented. I had promised another for yesterday, but I did my entry for <a href="http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=183504">DSS #64</a> instead.
This is the rotunda in Powell Library at UCLA. It's pretty vast, so it's a good subject for an ultra wide lens. I shot a few other places on campus that I thought might benefit from this lens, but conditions were pretty bad.
This is the last SLR daily photo for a week - tomorrow we fly to Hawaii! Thanks for all the well wishes. I'll try to keep posting daily photos via iPhone during the trip.
Cheers!

Get it? The pages look like a heart. It's very clever. I am sure I am the first person to have thought of it.
Sarcasm aside, it does look cool and I wanted to give it a try myself. Turns out the pages don't align themselves very well when you do so many, although that might be due to the super-thin pages of this Bible that I used for the shot. I actually kind of like the irregularity.

![<span id="date">_06/27/10_</span> <span id="title">Typing</span>
As you may have seen from <a href="http://www.jawsnap.net/Daily/year3/11272102_ACXDJ#914606053_3Sv6K">yesterday</a>'s photo, my parents came to visit! It was a short visit but we had a good time. They brought me some things that belonged to my grandfather, including a Remington Standard typewriter. It's not super-old, but it is fully manual. For this photo, I used my macro lens and a simple on-camera bounce flash while pressing down some of the keys. It's such a mechanically complex piece of equipment - I'll certainly take some more photos of it in the future.
At the risk of making some of you feel extra old, I'm pretty sure I'd never used a typewriter until yesterday! If I have, I don't remember it. It's fun, though - the main thing that struck me is how much harder you have to press the keys compared to a computer keyboard.
