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 aspect of photography that can be easily overlooked is how you carry your equipment with you. It is easy for this to be an afterthought because how you carry your equipment isn’t directly related to how you make a photograph. It may not have a direct impact on how you make your photographs, but it certainly impacts where, when, and if you make photographs. If you don’t have equipment for carrying… 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

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

Day 5 of the one photo a day challenge. My wife and I decided to do an Advent Calendar for the first time this past holiday season. We found one that fits us perfectly. We have been huge FRIENDS fans. And we found FRIENDS themed Advent Calendar. I liked this one item that it included. It fits well for me so I currently have it sitting on my desk in my office….

Today is Day 4 of the one photo a day challenge. Tonight I managed to squeak in some photos literally right before going to bed and then writing this post. We were getting ready for bed. I knew I needed to take a photo still tonight. No idea what I was going to photograph. Then all the dogs on cue went to the bedroom and got up on the bed for bedtime…. Read More
