Day 19 – “No, Mr. Steve; I expect you to.. uh.. die?”

Been a few days since my last post. I am slowly making up for missed days.   We’ve had some significant medical issues going on here at home that has kept the camera in the bag for the last week.   I’ll make up the missed days over the next few weeks.

Now that the excuses are out of the way, how about a photo:

Day 8 – Project 365 – Vivitar Close Focus lens test.

A bit of a migraine tonight so creativity is pretty much out the window.  I decided to give a lens a friend gave me a test.  It’s a Vivitar close focus lens.  I haven’t been able to find much info online about it, but it’s a pretty nice lens.  I’ve uploaded a full resolution version of the image so you can see the level of detail the lens gives me from about 4-5 inches away.

Project 365 – Day 4 – Surfing the Net.

Skull-in-a-Jar decided to surf the net tonight.  I came back from dinner to this sight.   Somehow I’m not surprised.

Project 365 – Days 1 and 2

I’m a bit tardy posting these, but it’s been a busy year so far.   I am undertaking a 365 project in order to push the boundaries of my creativity and  get me into the habit of always looking at the world around me as if through the lens.

I plan to take the off-the-wall object you see here and create a new photograph of it every day.  Each photo must be unique and creative.  It promises to be fun and I already have a week’s worth of  ideas bouncing around inside my head.

So without further ado, I give you, photos!

A new year, a new beginning.

I was, for the most part, quiet for all of 2012.  There were quite a few things going on in my personal life and with my health that kept me from focusing on my photography.   With the new year, all but a couple of minor things are behind me and have been taken care of.  With that, I’m starting a new project and picking back up a couple of dormant projects.   It promises to be a fun, photo filled year.
