Recent participation in some photography forums has piqued an interest in doing a Project 365. Photography has been a hobby on and off for over 40 years and in the last 18 months my interest has intensified. So I've decided to jump in, give it a shot (no pun intended) and see if I can shoot every day for a year.

My expectations for this project are that it will provide motivation to expand my skills both behind the camera and in post-processing and provide a vehicle for experimentation. My photog pal Doug has been a great mentor, so I want to publicly say thanks; this is your fault (kidding of course).

It is going to be a learning experience, so any and all comments, critiques and encouraging words are welcome.

Thanks for viewing.

Lower Left Two-Thirds

8/11/10 - Day 236
An art display at SFO provided the opportunity to shoot today's Daily Shoot assignment #269: "Make a photograph that uses the rule of thirds composition in a very obvious way and post it."

Watercolor


6/25/10 - Day 189
Knowing that I would land in Chicago after midnight, I wanted to get a photo at the airport today before boarding my flight.  The flight was leaving from SFO's international terminal, so the modern structure and polished floor made a great subject.  However, since there was sufficient time before the flight, I decided to paint this watercolor instead and then take a photo of it (yeah, right!).

Upgrade


3/25/10 - Day 97
Got an email today that my upgrade came through.  I hadn't had any earlier opportunity to shoot today but was able to get this shot off looking back from my seat right before they shut the cabin door.  Definitely beats that middle seat in the rear that was on my reservation!

Coming & Going


3/5/10 - Day 77
Returning to Chicago from San Francisco today, I had a rear-facing seat in the reconfigured business cabin of a United 767.  It was a real interesting perspective and allowed me to capture a plane landing to the west as we were taking off to the south.

Rain


3/2/10 - Day 74
Raining hard in SF this morning.  With 40 minutes on the tarmac waiting for a gate, I was able to play with the dials on the point & shoot (Daily Shoot assignment). This shot was taken out the airplane window using the supermacro setting.

On the Way Home from SFO


1/8/10 - Day 21
With 500 flights canceled at O'Hare yesterday, I had no idea if we'd make it out of SFO on time today.  We did, and I captured this image of the plane's shadow as it left runway 1R.
