Photo a Day

Just under the wire, here we are. This is the final photo in my “Photo a Day” thirty days of photos experiment. Some were good, some were just okay and some, well, let’s just say some were not so good.

Still, it was fun to see if I could do it at all and I’m pretty impressed with me for being able to stick with it for the duration. I also think I learned one or two new things about photography, which is great as there’s always something to learn.

In fact, I think I enjoyed this experiment so much, I’m going to continue with it and keep taking more pictures. Who knows, maybe I’ll end up with 365 days of photos instead of just thirty. Okay, that brings us to the final photo of this series.

Instead of using a picture that I took recently, I’ve decided to put up one of my favorite photos I took of my father. In case you don’t know, he died last October. Consequently, the photos I took of him, especially ones like this taken at one of our favorite bars, are a reminder of the good times we had when livin’ was easy.

Cheers Dad.

Getting even closer now to the end. This is the second to last photo of the “Photo a Day” event. Exciting, yes? I know I’m feeling it.

Getting close to the end here. Very exciting times indeed. Only three more days to go. Although, I am enjoying it quite a bit, so maybe I’ll extend it a few extra days for fun. Who knows? Until then, here you go.

I’m a man of few words today except to say “Happy Labor Day.”

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. A good day and a good day to post a new photo. This time around it’s a macro shot I thought I would try and see what happens. Twenty-five down, five to go.

Happy weekend everyone once again. Hope you’re having a great one and that you are enjoying the Labor Day holiday. If so, how about a beer or a margarita? Of course, whatever you end up doing, be safe out there. Cheers.

Twenty-four down, six to go.

Happy long weekend everyone. I’m sure that during these three days off you will probably have many opportunities to take interesting photographs. I’m sure I will also.

However, I still need a photo for today, so here it is. Yes, that’s a commercial jet on the left and a military helicopter on the right. Twenty-three down, nine to go.

As always, these photos are also at my flickr page (as if you didn’t already know).

This photo was taken during an event in Santa Monica to call attention to U.S. casualties of the Iraq war. One cross or other faith-appropriate marker per dead soldier. For me, seeing all the markers spread across the beach, numbering over four thousand, was a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
