Daily Pattern: Allez!

Today I decided draw a circus trick that is associated with fire. When I was a child I went to the circus just to see such spectacular stunts.

Daily Pattern: Photo-works

Alright, today's pattern needs a bit of an explanation: I've been thinking about trying to do a photo-based pattern since we started this project. I love my camera, and although I'm not a stellar photographer by any means, I thought it would be a lot of fun.

So I went to tonight's fireworks at Powderhorn Park with the goal of capturing as many clear, crisp photos of fireworks mid-explosion as I could. I expected the worst and assumed I'd bike home and have to start from scratch with no useable photos. But it went great. Now I have a massive collection of pretty perfect firework shots.



So this pattern is made from just a handful of those bursts. I didn't adjust brightness or color, or even size for the most part. Maybe I should have, but I was so enamored with the results of my photo session that I just wanted to keep it raw.

I'll probably be setting up a flickr set of my favorite shots at some point this week!

Daily Pattern - Happy Fourth of July! Don't miss those Fireworks!

It's only hours away from the best part of this sweltering month!
I am always excited for the fireworks. We usually visit Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis to see them, and it's always crowded with the best chunk of people from around the South Minneapolis Area! I know it's cheesy, but I STILL have to stop myself from "ooohing" and "aaahhhing" at every one that goes off. Happy Fourth of July Everyone!
