One photo a day challenge: Day 44. Today my wife was out running errands. Picking up dog food. You know, all the fun stuff. She had to run to the grocery store and tested to ask if I wanted anything. I asked for a loaf of bread from the bakery. I love bread. You know, who doesn’t love bread. When she arrived home she had a loaf of delicious bread for me,… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 42. Today I did something a little different for me. When photographing a subject from nature I don’t usually manipulate the subject for my photograph. If I’m photographing a flower I work around the structure of the flower to get the shot I want. Bending around the flower. I don’t usually bend the subject to my will. I try to allow nature to be free from… Read More

I kicked off the new year by setting some new and ambitious goals/resolutions for January. My goals included health and fitness, art, creativity and work objectives. January Goals

One photo a day challenge: Day 29. I really liked the work I did yesterday. I wanted to find a similar type of subject for today. Something that would allow me to work with shapes and textures and patterns and depth of field. I was not sure what I would find for my subject today. To find a subject I began looking around my room. On the bookshelf where I found my… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 28. Today I am literally just standing in my room and looking around. Looking for that next photographic subject. Letting my eyes wander. Letting my mind be free. I really had no idea of what I wanted to photograph today. I went into my office with no intention other than to take a photograph. A photograph of….something. Tonight I had no preconceived notions of what I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 23. Since I bought new flowers yesterday I wanted to photograph them as much as I could. It won’t be long before I fail to keep them alive. It seems to be pretty inevitable with most of my indoor plants. Yesterday I photographed the flowers in a way that is very different for me. Today I wanted to continue an exploration along those lines. I wanted… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 21. I had my camera with me all day today. It was cloudy and gloomy all day. I just wanted to have sunlight for a chance at a nice sunlit photo for just a few minutes. It is getting a little frustrating to never have good light for the type of photographs I would like to make. I kept waiting for the sun to emerge from… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 16. On a weekend I really thought I would have a good opportunity to get outside and capture more outdoors photographs. But, sometimes things don’t go as you had hoped. And you still get it done. Went out this morning with some friends and put in a 13+ mile run, which was great. But I got home and ended up being exhausted. Didn’t get as much… 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
