Pics and Sicks

Everyone around me has come down with the crud. Seems once school is back in session the germies start their vacation moving from person to person until they infect everyone. We've been battling this at home (Cam and Delaney have both succumbed) and at work (most of the accounting department has been out at least one day over the past two weeks). I had hoped to escape the germies, but they won the battle.

I started sneezing uncontrollably on Sunday. Yesterday I went into work and by 2PM, the "non-drowsy" cold meds coupled with a lack of caffeine had me feeling like this:

This morning? Well, it wasn't very pretty!

And honestly, this couldn't have come at a worse time. We are in the final - CRITICAL - steps of a western region consolidation. Today is the last full work day before all files are transferred to the new consolidated company and it is my responsibility to make sure everything is ready to go.

But you know what? The consolidation will progress without me. As much as I'd like to think I am indispensable, I know better. The world will not come to an end, and hopefully a day at home will help me kick this crud!

I watched a pretty cool video the other day titled How to take amazing cell phone pictures. It's an interview with a professional Seattle photographer/artist touting the virtues of using your cell phone camera - as limited as it is - to make "art"

I thought it was a pretty cool concept, so decided to use mine more and came of with these pics using the black & white setting on my 1.3 megapixel cell phone camera. I haven't done any editing of these - they are just straight from the phone. It's kind of fun!

I'm considering participating in WWC using nothing more than my cell phone camera. Now that would be a challenge!
