Sunset on the Michigan Tech Lakeshore Center. The shadows are from the much older buildings behind the camera.

Campus, lit by sunrise and sodium-vapor lights -- a beautiful winter combination, as it turns out!

Marquette Rocks!

Rocks in Marquette, Michigan, recently exposed by the construction of a new parking lot at Buffalo Wild Wings. Marquette is known for being on one of the first major iron ranges in the US, and these rocks seem to confirm that!

Hark! The herald angel sings
Dave's done with the 365 thing!
Be joyous, there is no sorrow,
Dave won't have to take a photo tomorrow!


Thanks so much to everyone who helped me through it -- with comments, support, and messages throughout the year. It's been one heck of a ride!

271/365 - Icehouse

Colorful pyramidal pieces

Pieces from Treehouse, a game which uses "Icehouse pieces". They're very flexible, and are used in dozens of different games. Treehouse is one of my favorite short games, very simple and extremely easy to teach.

138/365 - Tulip

A bright red tulip.

A sunlit Tulip, also growing wild in my back yard.

Incidental note: Red is one of the hardest colors for digital cameras to capture faithfully and with good details. This one took a lot of effort to get right, and still required a decent amount of post-processing!

136/365 - Red Roof

An extremely red roof.

I noticed the beautiful lines and patterns in this red roof, while I stopped to fill up my car. It's surprising what beautiful things one can find at gas stations!

129/365 - Blue Windows

Blue sky and a tree reflected in three windows, with red siding.
Click the photo to see it on Flickr.

Windows reflecting the sky at an old house near the Central Mine.

As an interesting side note, this photo has been heavily edited -- but not how you might think. This side of the house was on a steep downhill slope, so it was impossible to photograph the windows directly head-on. Instead, I photographed them on an angle, and rectified the image with Gimp's perspective correction tool. This is possible because of linear algebra, which is exactly the class which I'll be teaching later this summer!

Blue and yellow stone recycling bins.

Remember everyone -- recycle! If you didn't, we wouldn't have lovely blue and yellow bins like these.

Red. Yes, I started halfway through the spectrum, and I have now wrapped all the way around! Look forward to some less-organized color photos later, though -- as I find them.

Purple flowers, reaching towards the sun. Also notice the less-than-stellar bokeh of my Nikon 18-200 at 200mm.

99/365 - Green

Green plant leaves backlit by the sun.

Green. I'm not sure whether these are crocus or iris leaves popping up -- either way, I like them.

98/365 - Yellow

A bright yellow crosswalk sign, on a pole.
Click the photo to see it on Flickr.

Yellow it is, with a tinge of green. (The weird color inconsistency is, I think, because of the reflective properties of the sign.) There are a lot of signs like this around the Michigan Tech campus -- having most of your housing on one side of a major highway, and all of the academic buildings on the other, tends to cause problems!
