LOVE BRACELET

There is a song by Deep Purple called April..one of my favorite. It does depict that month in it’s full spectrum. A lot of sudden changes and turmoils, storms and sunsets, clouds and rainbows.. This is gonna be a long entry I see..so if you’re impatient, leave at once..go download April, listen to it..then come back :) The point was that this April was the one I’ll never forget.
One of the reasons was my birthday (and I am not to keen about it) at the end of the month. The bracelet you see at the photo is my bday present from Ana. If I tell you that’s hand made (by her, of course) you’ll understand why I love it so much! :) The silver bands are strips of tin, and the rest is leather. I can only imagine how much work it took, but when you love someone..there is no mission impossible :)
On photo techique used to shoot this one..I used external flash unit (though this one might not be the best illustration of what I achieved with it :) ) placing it left of this pro looking setup :p In order to achieve more diffused light I covered the flash with newspapers :) The distance of cover varied..so is the quantity of burned paper smoke :) At the moments I had feeling I was shooting near some incense sticks :) In the background you can see two couch cushions :)
One of the things you might find interesting is that I finally bought charger for my laptop, so I’m back in the blog-game. Damned thing was neither easy to find nor cheap. I was tempted to make it on my own!
One more thing I feel good about is that I finally found some time to finish “Neverwinter nights”. An RPG game I played two years ago for the first time, but never finished it. This year I started it from the beginning and devoted all free time in last couple of days to get to it’s end. My hero (ranger/cleric) saved the city of Neverwinter and all I can do now is to recommend it to you :)
