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.

Yum!

8/19/10 - Day 244
Dinner tonight in San Francisco with colleagues and friends at Live, my all time favorite sushi place. Had to work quick to get a shot of the last remnants of grilled squid. Outstanding! Shot for today's Daily Shoot #277: "Make a photograph of something you eat today. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Make it look tasty."

Natural light and SOOC except for crop and a little sharpening.

Brothers


6/11/10 - Day 175
Since we're spread across 3 time zones, it's not often that our family is together.  We celebrated Jared's (left) college graduation with dinner tonight and caught a humorous moment between Jared & Jordan, as shot through my wine glass. Early morning drive to Athens on Saturday for the commencement ceremony.

Best Burrito

4/28/10 - Day 131
This was without doubt the toughest shooting day since I started P365.  Jammed up all day and had barely enough time to grab dinner at my all time favorite burrito place, Los Compadres in South San Francisco, before going to a marathon City Council meeting.  As we were getting our burritos,  the fixin's for the dinner crowd was being grilled up and I was fortunate to even get this shot off with my camera phone.  Today is my only "one shot day" so far.

Anywhere, USA


3/22/10 - Day 94
Driving home from Columbus, OH today, we stopped along I-65 for some food and a stretch.  We could have been anywhere, along any interstate in the country.  This shot was not pulled from my archive; rather it was taken this afternoon in I Have No Idea Where, Indiana.

Roti or BenjYehuda?


3/11/10 - Day 83
BenjYehuda is my choice.  Very tasty & large portions.  212 W. Van Buren; check it out.

Portillo's or Al's?


3/9/10 - Day 81
Portillo's, hands down!  Went to the new Al's at Adams & Jefferson today for lunch; mediocre at best.  I think the sign needs to be changed.

After burning 1500 calories between us, Lin and I deserved this for lunch.

Dancing Eel


12/29/09 - Day 11
Dinner tonight with friends at a local restaurant called Sushi Thai. I knew this would be the source of today's image.  The Dancing Eel roll was beautiful so I again tried out the macro function on the point & shoot and this is the result.  And yes, it tasted as good as it looks.

Bagels


12/27/09 - Day 9
Pilates at the health club this morning followed by a visit to our cycling group's favorite eating spot, Einsteins Bagels in Lincolnshire, where planning began for the summer bike trip.  The Cyclopaths could hardly believe a whole week passed without a bagel photo being included in Project 365, so in true Cyclopath tradition, here it is.

Christmas Day


12/25/09
This year, Christmas consisted of sleeping in, health club in the early afternoon and then a movie and dinner with friends.   This was my first attempt at blending images in Photoshop Elements.   Definitely needs some work, but at least the idea comes across.
