7 Days: Day 2 – Gold

23 December 2007

Gold. Getting this photo done was one of the first things I did today. I came up with “gold” as the first theme, Lauren was responsible for “food” (*cough*, no comment). I knew that this angel would be coming down from on high (the loft) and when I decorated the tree I tucked her away out of immediate sight so as to make my cunning and guile seem just that little bit more cunning and guileful when I published my photo today.

However, I knew that it was also perfectly possible that I wouldn’t be able to get the shot I wanted, hence the early start: I’d need the rest of the day to come up with something else. Fortunately luck (and, of course, enormous skill and brilliance) was on my side and it worked. Once I worked out that in order for the camera to see my reflection in the angel, I needed to be able to see the camera reflected from where I was standing, I was away. Much of the rest of the day was given over to tackling the bomb sites that were a couple of drawers and my wooden chest in the spare bedroom. They were all filled with craft stuff and a whole load of crap that I’d hoarded thinking it might be useful one day. They now contain a little less crap that I think might be useful one day.
