One photo a day challenge: Day 14. One of the goals of this photography challenge has been to allow myself opportunities to be more creative in my photography. Creating a new photograph every single day gives me more opportunities to stretch and try new things. When I am not creating new photography as frequently I feel pressure to “get it right”. I don’t feel free to take chances. I don’t challenge myself… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 13. Today I set out to focus my daily photo challenge photos on a specific idea. I wanted to capture some interesting photographs showcasing the ice on the rocky ledges I see every day. In recent years it seems like Upstate New York hasn’t had many time frames where there has been snowfall that has persisted for long periods of time. Our winters just haven’t seemed… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 12. For the first time in a while I acquired a new camera and new lenses. They are very different from the cameras I am used to using. So what I am going to do is tie learning how to use the new tools to this photography challenge. What better way to learn to use a new tool than to create brand new art with it… Read More
Daily photo challenge: Day 11. I often photograph my dogs. I do not photograph our cats. Often I regret not having many photos of our cats. If I had to choose I would choose dogs every time. But I don’t dislike cats and, don’t tell my wife, but I do have fond memories of them. It goes without saying that cats are just vastly different beings than dogs. Capturing their lives on… Read More
One Photo A Day: Day 10. I am hoping this daily photo challenge is will help me appreciate what I have right at home. There are so many opportunities to create photographs right inside or outside my own home. Building my practice will help me build appreciation for everything that I have right nearby. I took advantage of the fact that we had nice bright sunlight for only the second day in… Read More
One Photo A Day: Day 9. Today I knew we would be heading to Ithaca to take our dog to the vet. I planned to stop and create some images while we were in Ithaca. Sometimes things don’t go as you had hoped. You get worse news than you expected. Then you don’t feel like following through with your plans. But you do the work. You continue the practice. Because this is… Read More
It has been 1 full week of my one photo a day challenge. Everything has been going well. Some days I feel more motivated than others. But that is the whole point of this project. Stop relying on feeling motivated or inspired. Just do the work. Do it every day. Build a Practice. Each day when I work on creating my daily photo there is more than one image created. Hopefully each… Read More
Today is day 8 of my one photo a day challenge. For the past coupled of years I have been taking plants we’ve had gowning outside in warmer weather and move them indoors in the cold upstate New York fall and winter. I try to keep them alive for two main reasons. One reason is I want to keep them alive so they can quickly grow and blossom early in the spring… Read More
One photo a day challenge day 7. I headed down to my office tonight to perform my daily practice of one photo a day. Our dog Colton followed me to my office and laid on the floor and whined at me as I got things ready for some photography. Clearly a sign that he wanted to be my subject for today. I take a lot of photos of our dogs. This project… Read More
One Photo A Day Challenge: Day 6 At least in the beginning of this challenge I am trying to have each photo be a different subject. I really like using my macro lens because it helps me lean into being more creative with my photography. And using the Lume Cube lights allows for more interesting lighting. I really wasn’t sure what I was going to photograph today. I like the challenge of… Read More
