I just got a new camera and I am at work. What should I take photos of?

Do the first thing everybody does with a digital camera. Naked self-portraits.

Just wait at the window long enough. Eventually, a ninja will appear.

I want to see what your desk looks like. What's on your desk says a lot about you, I think.

Things on flickr. Then post those pictures of flickr to flickr with the tag, "please photograph me."

Naked self portrait, eh...

Good to have a comrade.

I was going to say something pithy, but I'm too distracted by the stars game and chinese food. They beat the senators, btw.

My desk at work.

I'm not sure what it says about me other than I like diagrams.

His company has nicer cubes than ours, TrishaLynn. You need to bring in a cam to show him.

posted by jonmc 15 December | 22:18

You're right about that, Jonmc. Except I like the decorations on mine. And why do I have to bring the camera?? I brought it last tim--

Oops.

posted by TrishaLynn 15 December | 22:40

I like the cool shit on my desk, too, but that's all shit we contributed ourselves. Our cubes themselves are where static electricity goes to die (I seriously considered making a shirt out of Bounce dryer sheets, but gave up due to...let's just say sloth) and you have to bring the camera becaus eyou have one.

The view outside my office window

That is one of the cameras that I looked at before deciding on a Canon S2. Mine is ordered but has not shipped yet. *taps foot impatiently*

I was going to post a pic of my own desk, then I remembered I have no battery in my camera. Sorry to disappoint.

Nice camera, cmonkey. And I like the "hand out of the computer screen" posted-up thingie. And the cubicle? I'll have nightmares tonight, thanks for that.

Your coworkers' shoes. What's on their feet says a lot about them.

Oh geez, I see flowcharts. I HATE flowcharts, graphs, DFDs, context diagrams, decision trees, and anything to do with data process modeling. UGH

Seriously, this camera is awesome. I highly recommend it to everyone on the market for a not-exactly-cheap-but-not-exactly-mind-bogglingly-expensive camera that takes nice pictures.

Those are actually CIM schemas, not flowcharts. Just well-meaning class relationship diagrams showing inheritance and associations.

Take a picture of that one guy on the corner holding the thing.

No, the other corner.

Him. Yes.

Me.

... as a bucolic marine mammal, I'm naked more often than not.

Class relationship diagrams make me hot. Sequence diagrams even more so.

Ho-leee CRAPPERS, cmonkey, I used to work just a few blocks from you.

It's a nice part of downtown to work in, not too crowded and busy outside.
