Day 31 (Make-up)

I've missed a few days in the past week.  (My excuse is that I got sick, and while I did have time off work, I spent the majority of it sleeping.)  I've decided to add a rule for myself to deal with this.  For every day I miss, I have to take three pictures of different subjects to make up that day.  They still be dated for the day I missed.

Day 10: Where's the Rest of the Bridge?


Bad positioning for taking this photo; I decided to crop out the power lines.  Maybe another day I can find a place to take the photo where they won't be in the way.

Day 1: Birdbath

Introduction

For Christmas (and birthday), my partner (in conjunction with her parents, my parents, and her brother and sister-in-law) got me an SLR camera, a tripod, and a book to learn how to use it.

Taking a little hike out in Westminster, I found this new hobby helped me take a break, but rather than using the break to ponder the thing I'm supposed to be taking a break from, my mind is engaged in the creative process of photography.  It was an incredibly relaxing experience.


Hence the photo a day project.  The goal is to take at least one photo each day this year and post it here.  The practice will make me a better photographer and the relaxation would probably do me some good too.
