I've been at my 365 photo project for a month now. Here are the first thirty days' worth.

The sun goes down later and later every day. Right now, it goes down a few minutes before 5:00; just perfect for catching wonderful sunsets as the workday ends.

Yesterday was a grey, damp sort of day. I caught these waterdrops at Grandmothers' Garden in Westfield, coming home from the polls.

The sunrises the past couple of days have been quite lovely. Above is from yesterday, and below from this morning.



I'm trying out the different settings on my camera. The first pic was in "dawn/dusk" mode, and the second in "sunset" mode. Next time, I think I might just use the automatic mode, and see what happens.

365 project

Since I just got a new camera, and it's a new year, I've decided to do a 365 photo project. What this means is that I'm going to try to take at least one photo a day for a year.



I'm not going to post them all here, since this I started this blog for different reasons, but I'm putting them all into a set on Flickr here. You can follow along by subscribing to the feed on the set page.

Since I can't do anything the way everyone else does, I started it on December 31st.

The purpose of this project is to not only get in the habit of taking pictures every day, but to expand my horizons a bit by taking pictures of things I might not normally consider. The pic above is of the holiday decorations in my office that I had taken down earlier.

Happy New Year

Here's to a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2010 for us all!
