3/28/10 Road Trip...

Went on a spontaneous road trip today with some friends.  We ended up in Sedona and Jerome. We walked around for a bit and checked things out.  This is one of my favorite shots of the day... This sign is on the side of a cliff and there isn't much to trespass on...Maybe the little lizard can't read!

Since I've been slacking on the posting...I will add a few extras today!

This one was one of my favorites too!  I liked the doors and the lens flare just happened. I kind of liked it! 


Sedona landscape....

I honestly don't know what kind of tree this is.  We also have white ones around.  This is the first that I've seen the red/pink ones.

This one is just random...If you know why I took this...Then you know me pretty well...I bet only a few are going to know what it is right away. 
My all time favorite band is TOOL and the lead singer, Maynard James Keenan  has a vineyard and makes wine.  He has a shop in Jerome that sells only his wine. I had to stop in and check it out.  I also had to buy a little trinket to say I was there...

3/25/10 - Inked Out....

Everybody has the day this happens.  You need to print and the ink has run dry.  Never fails!
Sorry this isn't a little more interesting.  I'm super tired and it's been a rough day.  I'm headed for bed!  Till tomorrow....

3/24/10 Caught off guard...

This is Maggie.  She is my friend's dog.  I've been trying to shoot different things and expand a bit...This isn't exactly what I had in mind but Its going to work. 
 I've been having issue with my PC and my internet over the past couple of days and it seems like everything needed to be done in the past 3 days.  Oh well... We are back on track!  Till tomorrow...

3/23/10 The Roll...

I am trying to catch a story with this one.   I'm not quite getting what I want.  I'm going to keep the story to my self until I feel that I can capture it the way I want. 
I've tried a few different things here...I still don't have what I'm looking for...Stay tuned.

3/22/10 Dash

This was an accident.  For some reason I thought it was interesting...at least the most interesting for the day...That will give you an idea of what the rest of the pictures looked like.
I was just moving the cam and shot the dash.  Oh well.

3/21/10 - Fueling Up!

Once again...I ran short on time and was desperate for a photo.  I was getting ready to feed my face with a delicious vanilla cream protein shake and stopped to grab the camera.  This didn't quite turn out the way I wanted.
Tried to get the powder in focus and blur everything else.  I think I went too far with the aperture and ran out of patients.  I was hungry!  Till tomorrow...

Sorry...My internet was down last night, so this is a little late...

3/20/10 - Make sparks fly....

The other day while in Lowe's...I remembered that I needed new flints for my striker.  After I put one in and struck a few sparks...I got an idea!
This shot was one of the first ones I shot.  As the flint wore in, the sparks went kind of flat.  This one was one of the most interesting.  Till tomorrow...

3/19/10 - Tumble dry if needed....

So this is one of the ideas that I had during my break.  I got home from work early and figured I would try it out.  The hardest part was figuring out how to rig it up.  This was inspired by the refrigerator picture. 
There was a little difficulty with getting enough light inside the dryer.  I tried the flash but I lost the motion of the towels.  The lights in my laundry room are florescent an the combo made lighting difficult.  I think I'm going to have to come back to this one with more light inside and the same light outside.  The picture is noisy due to the high ISO I had to use to get a decent exposure. Looks like I need a faster lens!  I liked the concept.  Till tomorrow....

3/18/10 - Hungry?

So...I'm back!!!  I took a little break to get things in order around here.  I wanted to get this going again.  I've got a lot of questions regarding the blog and was pleasantly surprised by everyone's interest.  Thank you!

This isn't my best stuff, but it is my new roommate and he looks hungry.  I set up this tank for our old Beta fish.  Unfortunately after about 4 days in his new place...He threw in the towel.  R.I.P. Mater. 
It feels good to be shooting and posting again!  The break was a little longer than I expected.  I did get a few good ideas though.  Keep your eye out for them.  Till tomorrow...

3/10/10 - I'm Still here!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive and my 365 is on my mind.  With a few personal bumps in the road and work being really busy...I took a few days off.  I hope to be recharged and posting again shortly.  Stay tuned!!!!

3/5/10 - Sorry....

I didn't have a chance to get a shot in today.  I didn't even have a chance to turn on my camera.  Between working late and attending to some personal matters...It just didn't happen today.  Stay tuned...Till tomorrow...

3/4/10 "Hollowed" be thy name....

61 of 365 - I have to admit it...I cheated on this one!  this is a shot that I took a while ago and didn't do anything with.  Tired today.  Need to get some sleep.

I went back through some of the images that I had and found this one.  I like it for some reason.  Its not that exciting...It's simplicity may be the attraction for me.  Till tomorrow....

3/3/10 - Computer....

So recently my computer has been giving me drama!  The monitor has been turning on really slow and flickering...I'm also almost out of hard drive space.
So for today the drama queen PC is the winner!  I sat down to check e-mail and the drama started...So I figured that maybe a public embarrassment will make it work right.  We'll see!  Till tomorrow....

3/2/10 - Flower

61 of 365 - Today was a hard day to get motivated to shoot for some reason.  All day I carried my camera and didn't really have anything jump out at me.
This flower was back lit by the sun and it caught my eye. All the reflections off of the leaves are a little distracting.  Nothing real exciting...Sorry.  Maybe better luck tomorrow.  I need to get a polarizer for my 50mm.   Till tomorrow.

3/1/10 - Handled

60/365 - Payton and I went for our Monday night walk.  On the look for something new and different to shoot.  I didn't find anything spectacular...Just a handle.
 
The light, spiral, and rust highlights caught my eye here.  Till tomorrow...
