Just for fun challenge – “Cat”

October 20, 2010 – 00:56

Sorry this comes a bit late – I’ve been on a working trip with very little time off, hence the delay.

Here are the submissions I’ve received… I think you’ll notice a commonality amongst them all. 😛

Yep, these are all pictures of the same kitty, Hunter.  Not having  a cat handy on my trip, I resorted to using a picture of Hunter I took when I went to Mongolia earlier this year.   At least J3’s submission is a little different! 😉

Speaking of J3, it was his turn to propose a theme – “Mechanical”

Please send any submissions to justforfun@njmatsuya.com – have fun!

Sorry all, I’ve been out of Tokyo on work-related duties, and haven’t had much time to do anything personal lately.

I have a couple of submissions, and will try to get them up by tomorrow evening.   Check back then!

Just for fun challenge – “Reflection”

October 11, 2010 – 10:07

Last week’s theme challenge was “Reflection”.  I deliberately worded it so that “Reflection” could imply either the obvious (a literal reflection) or the act/process of thinking.  I had intended to provide a picture of the latter interpretation for my submission, but time constraints shot that plan to pieces, and I went for the literal instead.  Oh well, next time!

Here are the submissions presented in the order they were received (click to embiggen):
(Unfortunately frequent contributor Tet was unable to provide an image in time.  However, if he sends something later on, I’ll edit this post to include it)

Pictures of Juice

Back in mid-August, I had a guest stay over at my apartment for a few days.  Her name was Juice, and she was my taichi sensei’s neko companion.  She needed a place to stay for a couple of days while S & P were out of Tokyo, and I was glad to have her over.  Juice took a day or so to settle in, but after a while, she seemed to understand that despite my wacky hairdo, I was actually pretty harmless.

I enjoyed having her over, though as she is somewhat elderly we mostly just chilled out.  She gracefully deigned to let me take a few pictures of her which I’ve posted up on the photography section of my blog.
