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.

Jeff

Willie Nelson (and Canned Heat)

11/28/10 - Day 345
As our son was readying to head for Columbus after visiting over the Thanksgiving holiday, this song came to mind. I got a shot off as he waved so long.

Guess the song title.

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.

Really Obscure Beatles

11/20/10 - Day 337
Today's Daily Shoot assignment #370 was to use tungsten light. I used the opportunity to create another song set image from the Beatles, c. 1963. The sculpture is a replica from the National Archeological Museum in Athens, Greece.

Guess the song title.

Obscure Beatles Tune

11/19/10 - Day 336
I took this shot just after midnight, thinking that another song set image with a self-portrait for my P365 11 month anniversary would be great.  This morning, I read the Daily Shoot assignment #369: "Low contrast in a scene can connote softness, calmness, or mellowness.  Make a photo today that has low contrast."   Perfect - figured I'd process with low contrast to satisfy this assignment.  Another 3fer.

Guess the song title.

Simon & Garfunkel

11/18/10 - Day 335
Today's Daily Shoot assignment was a perfect reason for me to shoot another song title I've been thinking about.   Assignment #368 was: "Make a photograph today that visually communicates a sound.  Your choice of sound, but do your best to make us 'hear' it."

Should be an easy sound and song title to guess.  Also, one day early on the P365 monthly self-portrait.

Paul Simon

10/30/10 - Day 316
Back onto shooting of song titles (without SymmetriCam). At the request of a Flickr friend, I am not going to give the answer here and will post it to my Flickr photostream later today or tomorrow if no one get it.

I already posted a shot this morning for today's Daily Shoot #349: "Today, let's illustrate the emotion of being happy. Make a photograph that represents happiness to you." However, this shot also satisfies the assignment. When Lin is happy, I am happy.

Another image for the song set in Project 365.  A little obtuse this one is.

Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull

Beatles...Again

10/24/10 - Day 310
Continuing with the song set, this image also represents a track from the White Album. A little hokey, but...

Happiness is a Warm Gun

Beatles...

10/23/10 - Day 309
As suggested by one of my Flickr friends, more images for the "song set" as part of my P365.   This one is from the Beatles' White Album.  Should be pretty obvious. Yep, Glass Onion.

Also going to submit for Daily Shoot #342: "Plastic is everywhere. Make a photograph that illustrates a use of plastic in your life today." It's a stretch, but song --> records --> vinyl --> PLASTIC.

Rolling Stones...

10/22/10 - Day 308
did the song, Time Is On My Side. Inspired by today's Daily Shoot assignment #341: "Illustrate the idea of time in a photograph today.  Be as literal or abstract as you want to be with your interpretation."
