Day-sixteen...

Waiting... A majority of my day today was spent waiting... waiting for the laundry to go through a complete cycle to find that the dryer broke again, waiting for the people at Sur La Table to find that they couldn't find the food processor that we wanted, and waiting for the just the right light which was never to come due to clouds. Just another day in the neighborhood... till tomorrow... enjoy...

Day-fifteen...

Darkness... Its been a pretty dreary day around these parts, non-stop rain, the cold, and well me just feeling overall tired from a long week at work. You know the kind that never seems to end but just drags on and on and on. I was trying to come up with an idea for tonight's picture so I started looking around the house, on the net, and then I looked outside... and the obvious hit me in the face... well more along the lines of I walked into it, outside the window... nothing but Darkness... till tomorrow... enjoy...

Day-fourteen...

White Light... I've wanted to make this is a photo for quite some time now, well let me clarify that this is actually a composite of two photos that I've wanted to make. The first a single light over powering the surrounding walls making everything white and the second a self portrait of my camera with me in the background. So far this has been an interesting project having to act as art director, photo editor, and photographer on a daily basis. Till tomorrow... enjoy...

Day-thirteen...

Jumpology... a photographic technique created by Philippe Halsman, I've been surfing Flickr admiring this unique art form and thinking "I've got to try this out". Long day at work and then helping out a friend with their network at their home means that I didn't get home till almost 10PM tonight. So I figured this shouldn't be difficult I'll just make a Jumpology portrait tonight. Not as easy as it looks folks... its going to take some practice... ohh well there's always tomorrow... till then... enjoy...

Day-twelve...

Rollin'... Today I was told that one of my photos that I took at the RCPro Texas State finals would be used on a promotional ad for a Make a Wish Foundation fundraiser happening this February. My other hobby other than photography is RC Car racing this includes both off-road and on-road. And this is how I roll... till tomorrow... enjoy...

Day-ten...

Skateboard... First milestone for this project, day-ten, today was a lazy Sunday as all Sundays should be. Sarah and I sat down tonight and decided that we would work on getting in better shape this year. This got me thinking on ways to get more active, which brings us to the photo of the evening... till tomorrow... enjoy...
