Today I did absolutely nothing. The kind of nothing some really boring songs would be sung of, if only were there something to actually sing about. Nothing is less interesting than nothing. In fact my day today was so empty the closest I came to doing something, was to take a picture trying to depict my feelings of nothing today.

Why was nothing happening today. I was waiting for a call about a baby. It hasn't come yet. Sure I could have called him. But I actually didn't feel like it. Not sure why. I guess I just don't feel like photographing a baby today. Or maybe I'm comfortable in being board. Sadly that is more likely the case.

So today I took photos of a brick wall. Just an everyday, commonly, ordinary, red brick wall. After a adjusted the image, converting ti to black and white, and crushing the dynamic range to nearly nothing, it becomes the perfect black and white background for a Sin City style portrait.

The next step for me is to find or build a lighting setup to give people a good hard edge light effect. I'm thinking of vertical florescent tubes. That will be a little more work than tracking down a nice brick wall.

Why does being sick sap all of my (admittedly limited) motivation? Last week I was genuinely sick. I had the cough, the runny nose, the stuffed up head, everything. It was a full blown cold. This week I'm mostly better, but I have this cough that won't go away. My throat hurts and my chest aches from all the coughing. But that's all it is. I'm fine otherwise. All I have is a cough, but even that is enough to keep me from wanting to do much of anything.

Today I watched a bunch of hours of Stargate SG-1 because there was a marathon on Sci-Fi. It is beautiful outside. Spring has arrived and I was stuck inside being sick for it. I would love to go out and take photos of everything, but I just don't have the energy.
