Circadian Contraptions day 76
Sometimes beauty can be very close to home. But sometimes beauty also comes from ugly things. Just over the horizon lies “Westland”, one huge stretch of land filled almost exclusively with greenhouses. What’s so ugly about this you ask? The horizon pollution. There’s no longer any real darkness here, and stars are impossible to see … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 75
To promote oneself, one needs a webpage. My www.rosered.org is nice for the contraptions, but I need something more professional if I want to use it to advertise myself for voice over work and such. Hence I’ve set up http://ambervanderzwan.rosered.org which will also server as my contraption of today. It’s nowhere near finished yet, but … Continue reading

Another day another contraption. Today was spend all day at the studio, for the last day of voice training. Unfortunately, i did not get the sound files i got from them to take home with me yet, but I did do something else at home, where I hope i applied a lot of what i … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 73
It was about a year and a bit ago that #professorelemental ‘s ape Geoffrey went missing. On his travel through space and time he dropped in with me for a spell, and was doing his usual monkey business. I managed to capture this picture of him before he went on again.
Circadian Contraptions Day 72
As a reaction to my radio show SteamBeats I’ve heard repeated that I should do more with my voice. I like working with my voice, even if I have my own set of issues with it, so in November I went to a workshop voice acting. This was so much fun that I decided to … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 71
Taking the photo editing and the juxtapositioning of toys in places one wouldn’t expect to the next level, I’ve added a tiny toy puzzle that I got from a coworker who’s been to Africa to another picture I’ve recently taken. It’s not exactly the right angle, and the lighting isn’t 100% the same, but it … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 70
It’s been getting colder over here, and though I do not care much for snow when trying to get around, I do love the aesthetic of it. There’s not really snow here yet, more like a thin sheet of frozen dew that has descended upon the world and gives everything a nice white sheen. When … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 69
Before the break of dawn today I was already on my way. When the streets are still silent, there is an eerie but gorgeous quality to the mood. I’ve tried to capture that in this picture. The road completely empty, darkness still on the edges but the path itself is very well lit. I’ve included … Continue reading
Circadian Contraptions Day 68
Continuing the lonely teddybear train of thought I started yesterday, I made a series of photo’s that I’ll be editing, of just such a teddybear. Here’s the first one in that series, and the observant ones will notice, that yes, she is wearing the same outfit the girl in the previous picture.
Circadian Contraptions Day 67
I got inspired by a little girl who made some photographs of a “lonely teddy bear”. and have since begun to take some pictures of stuffed animals and action figures, and edit them to get them to match a certain style. This first picture is Kaylee from firefly, placed in a flowerbed hanging from my … Continue reading
