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.
