Or, “Jesus, That’s Quite the Commitment”
So of course, it seems like everyone’s doing it, but that doesn’t diminish my drive to do it too: one photo every day.
I just received a Nikon D80 as a combined Christmas/birthday gift, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I’ve been an amateur photographer for many years, and it’s the one major thing my dad actually passed down to me directly. I kinda got my interest in tinkering with cars from him, but photography is something he actually showed me how to do, and taught me the lessons that stick with me in every photo I compose.
I’m hoping to actually take one photo per day, but I may wait a few days between posting them. On the other hand, when time is hard to come by, I may not be able to take a photo every day, but I’ll try to post something from a day when I got more than one good photo.
Rather than just fluffing up my Flickr feed, I’d also like to document what the hell’s going on, in case you’re interested, and fill in why I shot what I did. Tell a story, if there’s a story to tell. I guess we’ll see how the process settles in.
So, here’s my first entry to ring in the new year. Liz and I went hiking yesterday at Arastradero open-space preserve, and apparently we were on a kick, so we went to The Dish over near Stanford today. Walked about 4 miles today, with lots of ups and downs. It’s been really hazy and foggy around here lately, so landscapes haven’t been too easy to shoot. This photo was about the best I could come up with considering the conditions. I’m hoping the weather clears up a bit, but honestly, it’s just nice to have the moisture in the air for once. I don’t want to wish it away too soon.
