The Week in Planes :: 1

In 2009, I used photobox to make a 'deluxe desk calendar' for my desk at work, and I started posting the photos here every Monday. In 2010, I continued with the Pic of the Week, using photos I had ColorSplashed on my iPhone.


For this year, I couldn't decide on a photo theme. Or a calendar theme. Or a weekly theme. I began to panic as it got closer and closer to January and I still didn't have a desk calendar. Then I found my answer: paper airplanes.


So I have started folding paper airplanes everyday and providing entertainment for my office (they are all very jealous of my growing collection.) I am also posting photos to flickr with the iPhone App, instagram. The only part missing is to share my creations with you!


Instead of posting every Monday, I have decided to post The Week in Planes at the end of every week this year. Without further adieu, I give you a selection from the past few days. I also changed my blog layout - what do you think? Enjoy!

Love the planes, but may take time to get used to the new format. The old format was so familiar. But change is good, right?
