Not a Chance...

11/17/10 - Day 334
..that I would drive in this traffic every day.  A long commute on public transportation I can handle.  Made my own graffiti on this image for today's Daily Shoot #367: "Graffiti is unwanted by many, but can be visually interesting.  Find visual interest in something you don't like today."

Chucky's Cousin

10/29/10 - Day 315
Returning home this evening, I was able to fulfill today's Daily Shoot #348: "Make a photograph with compositional elements that mimic a face. No real human faces!" Neon lights above the walkway between the B & C terminals at O'Hare taken with SymmetriCam. I promise, no more of these shots this weekend.

Xmas in July

7/29/10 - Day 223
Another one of those "H.S." days for Project365. Out to dinner with friends at a great Cuban restaurant in the city (Cafe Laguardia) and hadn't taken a shot all day.  10pm with a 45 minute drive home didn't leave much time to get a shot in.  Just before leaving, saw these lights in a lounge area of the restaurant and thought of the Daily Shoot assignment #256: "Turn the tables and make a photograph of a light source today. Light bulb, window, or even the sun (be careful!)."  Camera phone to the rescue; missed day averted!

Bright Spot

7/7/10 - Day 201
Walking off the train this morning, and after reading the Daily Shoot assignment #234, the bright spot at the end of the tracks caught my attention.  Two days in a row of illuminated colors...what will tomorrow bring?

11th Hour Abstract

6/23/10 - Day 187
It was getting late tonight and I needed a photo.  Saw some cool effects of a red indicator light through a hand soap dispenser in our bathroom and figured "what the hell."  Grabbed the macro lens and fired off a few shots.

Frenetic!

6/4/10 - Day 168
Today's Daily Shoot: "Make an interpretive photo of a subject or scene that sums up your mood today."  This was my day in picture and word!

Physiogram 1

3/7/10 - Day 79
There is a great UK digital SLR photography magazine that sometimes describes different "projects."  In this one, I suspended a small light from a thread in a dark room and took long exposures while the suspended light rotated.   Every attempt created a different pattern.  For some additional images, go to this Smugmug gallery.  I plan to definitely explore this technique further.

Light Trails: Over the RR Tracks

2/26/10 - Day 70
Wanted to try shooting something different today.  Lin and I went out to dinner...she drove and I shot.  This image was taken going over a set of railroad tracks during the exposure.
