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.

Bands at the Bay

12/9/10 - Day 356
Leaving my South San Francisco office today, I was struck by the overcast over the bay and the horizontal bands of grass, Bay, horizon and sky, all punctuated by the lone sailboat.

Oyster Point Marina

11/3/10 - Day 320
Stopped off at the marina on the way to checking into my hotel, looking for a naturally framed shot to submit for today's Daily Shoot #353: "Frames outline the focus of a subject. Make a creative photo with natural framing: windows, doors, trees, borders, etc."

It was so beautiful, I brought out my watercolors and painted the scene rather than photographing it. NOT. Dry brush filter in PSE.

Sunset Sail

10/4/10 - Day 290
We went to the very tip of the island, to a town called Oia, for the sunset. This location provides a very different perspective than in Fira where we were staying. While shooting the sunset, I spotted this sailboat cruising the bay and liked the way the low sun illuminated the sails.

June in SSF


6/7/10 - Day 171
Walked down to the marina after working today in my South San Francisco office.  The wind was whipping and the temp was chilly.  I tried to capture the wind in the foreground tree branches and used b/w to convey the coolness of the air.  Don't know if it worked, but I do know it was pretty uncomfortable out!

Just Like Guppies


5/24/10 - Day 157
Have you ever seen guppies give birth?  That's what I was reminded of when I saw this string of canoes & kayaks departing from behind the yellow Chicago Water Taxi on the Chicago River this afternoon.

Taxi!!!


5/5/10 - Day 138
Was on North Michigan Avenue this afternoon and decided to hop the water taxi back to the office.  It was a beautiful day on the Chicago River.
