Busy nothingness

1/52 At work by @tabbycat

This is the story of my not-so-brilliant career. Lost in a sea of busy nothingness. Just busy work, not remotely interesting or well-paid.

Unlike the Emilys and the Jaydees of the world, I wasn't lucky enough to find my calling at a young age, but this is the year that I'm going to have a second crack at going professional with my photography....so stay tuned!

This is me standing in front of a giant canvas photograph of our corporate headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany, on the banks of the Rhine River to be exact! The biggest highlights of my life (the pinky bits!) are when I'm travelling, whether it is by road, rail, river or air, travelling is what I was born for, and that is when I am truly happy!

[Jason Daniels]

[Carl Dry]

Very nice

[Jaydee]

I thought you're in a high rise building.... and just like Jason said, "nice scarf "

[emily tull]

ahh you played with my mind I thought the same as Jaydee

[Tabbycat]

@bobfoto pinky bits!! :-)

[Jesse Hurler]

You're so awesome :) this is really cool. I wish I could travel, for I think it would make me happiest as well. Fantastic first-week shot!

[Tracey H-N]

Nifty ! I think I like it.

[lunaksi]

Amazing idea and brilliant processing! Love these pinky bits :)

[GS*Anemone]

Rivers of blood. Great processing. I have always wanted to travel down the Rhine river an see all there is to see

[Jason Daniels]

@tabbycat - I noticed that... was hoping for some colour in the scarf.

[Tabbycat]

@bobfoto Have a guess what colour it is??!

[Liana Bull]

It is all about location and this depicts yours so well - Which part of the Rhine river is this?

[Jason Daniels]

@tabbycat - Green?

[Tabbycat]

@bobfoto Bingo!! I had something planned involving avocados for next week, but you may well see the scarf now instead...

[Jason Daniels]

@tabbycat - I like avocados.

[Aleksandra]

Fabulous! Love the concept and processing! I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up...

[Tabbycat]

@sugarmuser @carldry111 @traceyhn Thank you so much for stopping by!

@gavincci @houdiniem Tricksy, I is! ;-)

@luvthyclassics Your time will definitely come! Right now, you're doing what I totally regret NOT doing, so keep it up! :-)

@lunaksi Why thank you, Lumaski! Pinky bits are always great! ;-)

@gsanemone Well, if you ever do, you will see this giant chemical plant where 62 000 people work, apparently! Not exactly what I would have in mind for a trip down the Rhine. LOL!

@kiwinanna I've never actually been to Germany, I just work in one of BASF's Australian chemical plants, but they tell me that this pic of their global headquarters is in the town of Ludwigshafen, close to Frankfurt...

@johnnyfrs @aleksandra We are the Special Ones, walking to that different drummer :-)

[Jani M]

digging the processing, cool concept

[Tabbycat]

@janim Thank you Mr Jani Sir!

[Nia]

Different and oh so cool processing. Good luck and hoping much success as you give professional photography another crack.

[Tabbycat]

@sianipops Why thank you, Nia! I hope to be producing photos of a much higher quality by the end of this year!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Sounds like my job (currently anywho, job interview scheduled for this Wednesday!!!!) Love, love, love the processing. It has a real feel of your feel xx

[Lisa Pouncy]

Oh and good luck with your endeavours xx

[Tabbycat]

@psychographer Oh great! People don't often feel my feel, so I'm glad you felt it! LOL!!! Didn't you have an interview last week? Well, super good luck anyways to you too, my dear! :-)

[Kitti Nelson]

Your processing and composition are both spectacular - every best wish with turning professional - photographer that is - of course! -

[Tabbycat]

@kittikat Thank you Kitti. I have six weeks of travel photography practice coming up! :-)

[GiGi]

This is really unique and lovely to look at, all the little detail everywhere.
That six weeks sounds awesome, good for you going pro, bet you will do great.

[Kathy A]

I like those pinky bits.

[Tabbycat]

@gigiz Thank you GiGi. I'm doing an online workshop as soon as I return to Aus, which I'm SUPER excited about!! http://christinagreve.com/
