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.

Pics in a Pic

12/3/10 - Day 350
Other than the individual photos I've taken every day during the last year for my Project 365, Daily Shoot, and other photo groups, I've done virtually nothing artistic. The lone exception is the coffee table book I put together from our 2009 trip to Spain. Actually, I'm pretty proud of it.

Shot for Daily Shoot #383: "Double up on your art today. Make a photograph of something else that you've created or crafted."

Lines of Text

11/22/10 - Day 339
Horizontal lines is the subject of today's Daily Shoot assignment #372.  Thought I would use this opportunity to combine the assignment response with another song title from the Beatles.  I'm not going to judge this as obscure or obvious - I'll let my viewers make that decision.  Now...name that tune.

And if you wish, name this book.  The book title has nothing to do with the song title however.  Answers will be posted on my Flickr Photostream.

Last Minute Research

9/24/10 - Day 280
Perfect assignment for today's Daily Shoot #313: "Make a photo of an interesting stack of books or magazines.  Consider how you handle repeating lines in your composition."

We're leaving Saturday for our trip to Greece and Istanbul.  Between the Rick Steves' guidebooks, the iPad, and a couple of maps, I'm hoping we're covered information-wise.  The image on the iPad is of Santorini, one of the Greek islands we'll be visiting.

For my friends that follow my Project 365, DS posts, and Flickr photostream, rest assured I will be shooting every day.  I may not be posting every day, so please be patient; I promise to catch up as quickly as possible.  Now, gotta go finish packing...hmmm, how many lenses to bring?

Train Reader


5/10/10 - Day 143
Today's Daily Shoot was "Pay attention to your surroundings today.  Make a photo of something you walk by every day without noticing."  Took a couple of potential shots during the day, but saw this one as I was finding my seat on the train home.  I converted it to B/W to enhance the contrast between an "old time" image and the e-reader.

Film vs. Digital


2/12/10 - Day 56
The Daily Shoot assignment today was to make a photo that goes with the title of a book you've read.  Since the only book I've read lately is Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, I thought an "anti-shot" with my old film camera would be interesting.
