Day 279 ‘No Image Available’ – 01/09/10

This is what greets me on the back of my little Canon S90 every day, “No Image”. I couldn’t remember at lunchtime if i had taken a photo today or not, so cranked on the camera to preview mode “No Image”. Whilst not an interesting photo, this is somewhat symbolic of the daily challenge on this project, so here is an inspired, and equally uninspired photo for Day 279!

Day 3 ‘Am Eye Scared?’ - 29/11/09

So i guess the challenge really begins here, it is a wet rainy Sunday afternoon, and i need to take and post a picture! One of the goals for me on this endeavour is to train my eyes to see things that i other wise might have missed, well here they are, my eyes, beautiful aren’t they? This shot is taken with my Canon S90 on Macro mode with me looking directly up into my Kitchen lights. Not sure this will be in my top 100 shots of the year, but we shall see.

Day 1 ‘All The Leaves’ - 27/11/09

Not a lot of great things have happened on the 27th of November, and this is sure fit into the ranks of great historical non events! Inspired by  photojojo.com and the film Julie and Julia i have decided today to start my Project 365 photo blog. The goal is simple, take a photo a day, every day for a year.

By the end of this project i hope to have:-

- become a better photographer, although Henri Cartier-Bresson  said that “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” which would mean i may have 27 years to go.

- documented a year of my life, in a way  have never done before.

- take at least a few photographs i am proud of.

- hopefully learn a little bit more about myself in the process.

So, for Day 1 perhaps not the most inspiring photo, but i had to start somewhere. It’s been raining lots (and lots) the last few days, and on my way to work there was a giant puddle with all the autumn leaves floating in it. In my deep consideration of whether or not to take the photo i managed to put my foot straight into the puddle. So that decided it, i was not getting a wet foot for nothing! Anyway i hope you like my first photo “All the Leaves”

This is actually my first photo with my new camera (Canon S90) which i bought specifically to help me on my mission. It’s all good and well having a great camera, but the best camera is the one you have on you, and this one is nice and small so i have no excuses.
