I really wanted to do something photography related as I am seemingly obsessed with the subject; but, the assignment here was meant to show us something about each other that we didn’t necessarily know. So I chose to do something based on a ‘hobby’ of sorts that I enjoy a lot.
I have a reasonably long commute, approximately 1 and 1/2 hours a day between the trip to work and the trip home. I find the chitter chatter on the radio occasionally interrupted by songs a bit annoying so I skip it.
I have never been a huge reader; but I have found this commute to be a perfect time to ‘read’. In the past 5 or 6 years I have accumulated over 100 audible audio books and have really enjoyed the break from the radio. If you haven’t tried audio books, and you have a time when you can’t read but listening would work for you give it a try.

I really like this idea. It does convey your meaning.
Thank you for sharing with ClanFlickr
a cool shot!
great mm!
Very nice. Loved the background color
ohh very nice shot here, great light. happy macro monday!
love the lighting and the detail…very nice.
I’m a huge proponent of audiobooks as well. However, when I tell people I’m "reading" a particular book, they give me this look like I’m cheating or something!
Anyhow, nice MM!
are you kidding me? a true macro? this is a macro shot, wonderful
compo and i love the gradient background. a few years back, i also had a long commute, and i listened to audios books, loved it, it relaxed me while dealing with LA traffic…fantastic MM, a happy one to you!
excellent shot…and some of use would really like that commute time just for this reason. Well done
Happy MM

ha, this is a good idea!
i like the colors and the composition.
happy MM!
great combination of the two – I’ve never tried audio books, will have to give it a shot…
Wonderful lighting and I will have to try a audio book one day
Audio books are great, especially when stuck in traffic. Lessons the frustration knowing you are getting something else accomplished. Great storytelling layout to this, I see you are putting the 100 to good use.

Seen in my contacts’ photos. (?)
Great setup. Love this one.
Nicely done! My sister is a huge fan of audio books. She lives in DC area and spends a lot of time stuck in traffic. I don’t have long enough commute…
super light and composition! great work!

I tried reading during my commute, but I kept drifting out of my lane!

The black and purple really make this shot, not to mention the soft brush of light across the headphone. Well done!
Nice and creative picture. I might give audio book a try.
I think you pulled this off great~
I think you nailed this Jeff.
I love my music though
