My Afflation

Sunrise view of Boston from Peter's Hill on Monday Morning I used to be able to walk a 5K every morning in 45 minutes when I lived in NoHo, played Ingress, and was maintaining my weight between 160-170lbs (ish). After a … conversation over the weekend and much nagging, I have been taking Pluto out with me. Zoe doesn’t do cold and she doesn’t walk as fast as she did 3-5 years ago.

Driven to finish  (and the photo used for the prompt "Alone") All of my photos for January 2018 were taken using my current phone (and the camera that is always with me) - a Google Pixel 2XL and edited using Snapseed. I was going to compile this post using Storify, but with their impending demise, it was suggested that I use Wakelet . So far, I like it. There are 31 photos being pulled from Instagram, so give it a minute.

Storm clouds over a field Went for a hike. It started beautifully if a little humid. Opted to take a trail instead of staying on the paved loop. Hear a roll of thunder, hope it's just the train. If only we had been so lucky. I had just been contemplating my success at not getting muddy while at the park. Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor. Not only did I get muddy, we got drenched through! My shoes were squelching while running with Pluto who was having none of it. Just as I would get him down to a walk, another roll of thunder or flash of lightning would send him dashing off again! After the storm the clouds looked pretty awesome though. Only had the iPhone SE on me. Does that count for  #shotoniphone ? Originally posted on my instagram .

So, it's already February. How did that happen? I've been really busy at work, so the blogging is a bit behind schedule. Here's some of my shenanigans. I posted a lot on Instagram this past week if you're feeling voyeuristic. February 1: #cy365 February 1 - Two #Hearts beating as one. I <3 <3 The Doctor. #captureyour365 #DoctorWho #Doctorswithoutborders #teefury A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Feb 3, 2015 at 3:13pm PST February 2: #cy365 February 2 - Blurred Background #pink #flowers #captureyour365 #depthoffield #oneography A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Feb 3, 2015 at 3:15pm PST February 3: #cy365 February 3 - Where I Stand.

The theme for the week began on the 25th with Resolve . The rest belong to last week's theme of  space -- but not Above and Beyond . If you don't get the reference, watch it  here , or buy it here . And now that I have gotten the requisite geek reference out of my head and onto paper... for your viewing pleasure and constructive criticism, here is Week 4/5 - all mobile photography. January 22: #cy365 Day 22 Color blocking I've been a little bit busy and got behind on my 365 this week. #captureyour365 A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Jan 25, 2015 at 2:33pm PST January 23: #cy365 Day 23 On the Third #throwback to my trip to #GriffithObservatory at the end of the year. #captureyour365 #latergram #landscape A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Jan 25, 2015 at 2:40pm PST January 24: #cy365 Day 24 Who & What Another throwback to the end of 2014 and another reason I love @htc. This was taken with the split capture option. I...

The prompts this week lent themselves to a few extra selfies and man, the biggest pod of mushrooms I have ever seen. January 15: #cy365 Day 15 First Taste... Of afternoon caffeine. Did you know you can order Sbux iced tea without water and then it actually tastes like Iced Tea?!?!? #mindblown No sweetener either and little ice so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. #captureyour365 #Pixlr A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Jan 15, 2015 at 4:59pm PST January 16: #cy365 Day 16 #snowflake. Total cop out because "it never rains in Southern California 🎶 🎶 🎶", let alone snow. But I did wear a pair of snowflake earrings on NYE. #throwback #captureyour365 A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Jan 16, 2015 at 7:35pm PST January 17: #cy365 Day 17 - #Powdery On my quest to getting and staying healthy, I've discovered all sorts of new foods and multiple uses for one that seems to be one of the most versatile foods ever...

There will be some weird overlap on themes going forward. Each Sunday, Capture Your 365 starts a new theme, which can also be used as a Capture 52. Last week (starting on Jan 4) the theme was "A Reflection of Me". The theme for January 11-17 is "White". I am going by straight dates for my recaps. For your viewing (and constructive criticism), here is Week 2 - all mobile photography. January 8: #cy365 Day 8 - My Gear The right tool for the right job, right? Obviously my daily driver is my @htc M8, but depending on the situation, at least one of these will find it's way into my bag. All are currently video capable, but it didn't start out that way. I have a Kodak zi8 (remember when they were the new hotness?) for events on dry land, an Olympus Tough II for underwater or less than ideal shooting conditions, and Tony Stark.... Er, my newest addition, a Nikon d5300 which replaced my D80. Not pictured are all of the necessary accessories. #captureyour365 #o...

I started a Year 38 365 on Flickr (still need to curate it a bit more, don't be disappointed at the lack of photos, they are still residing in auto backup, awaiting deletion or curation) for my Project 365, and then one of the members of Smartphone Photographers posted about Capture Your 365 . One of the problems I have consistently had with completing my Project 365 is that I run out of inspiration about two weeks in. This year, with someone else coming up with the topics, I might be able to keep the steam going, instead of running out of it. For your viewing (and constructive criticism), here is Week 1 - all mobile photography. Day 1: Good morning 2015! sunrise and coffee #cy365 #oneography #foodphotography A photo posted by Annette (@dananner) on Jan 1, 2015 at 11:28pm PST Day 2: #cy365 Day 2: Think Over. I was in Seal Beach yesterday and came to a dead stop in front of Sweet Jill's Bakery when I saw this. I thought about going in right aw...

This one was not easy.... I ended up crowd-sourcing some of the answers because I couldn't choose just one. In addition to travel, mobile and food photography, I'm apparently also obsessed with Nathan Fillion, coffee, chocolate, and Girl Scout cookies (hey! It's the season). These were just the suggestions from Twitter. Pin It
