Day 31 - 05/31/11

Decided to do something abstract today.

Day 30 - 05/30/11

Took in a Clinton Lumberkings game for Memorial Day.

Day 29 - 05/29/11

We had heavy rain today which caused some flash flooding.  The debris in the yard and strung across the road is corn stalks.  The water carried them from a field about a quarter mile up the hill.

Day 28 - 05/28/11

Saturday has become my day for long runs.  I'm trying to increase my distance in order to run the Bix7 in late July.  Today I ran eight miles and for the second Saturday in a row I ran past a scene and then returned to it after my run to take the photo.  

Day 26 - 05/26/11

Started Little League Photos today.

Day 25 - 05/25/11

The front porch provides nice even light no matter the weather.  The sky was dark and grey when we took this.  I'm sure there will be many more "porch portraits" before I get to 365.

Day 24 - 05/24/11

Today's picture is an example of why I'm doing this project.  I pretty much had to force myself to pick up the camera and go look for something to photograph.  If I hadn't gone through the exercise I would have missed this photo.  

Day 23 - 05/23/11

I have experimented with "runography" before without much luck.  Runography is photography while running and the results are not alway in focus, well composed or ... level.    

Day 20 - 05/20/11

We ate at Al and Leda's Pizza Villa tonight and I intended to bring the point and shoot but forgot it.  This left me to take my photo in or around the house.  Photos of your own feet are about as lame as it gets but something about the composition struck me.

Day 19 - 05/19/11

"Peeling Paint" - Playing around with macro mode on my point and shoot.

Day 18 - 05/18/11

Eatin' Smores between the doors.

Day 17 - 05/17/11

My boss rushed into my office and said, "I need you to take a picture of this truck that crashed into our gate".  So I did.

Day 16 - 05/16/11

Started drum lessons but we haven't bought a drum set yet.  His teacher loaned him this electronic board for a couple weeks.  Dude where are your sticks?

Day 15 - 05/15/11

Sunday afternoon baseball at Grandma's house.

Day 14 - 05/14/11

The view from my seat at Wrigley Field for Giants / Cubs game.  

Day 12 - 05/12/11

This photo is entitled "Inside Joke"

Day 11 - 05/11/11

The drain on our washing machine got clogged up and we were without a washer for a few days.  The laundry really piled up.

Day 10 - 5/10/11

Before and After
Toning was done using and Action by AlexEdg

Day 9 - 5/9/11

At work in his office.  Wii-mote, Dish remote, TV remote.

Day 7 - 05/07/11

I ran a 5K race today which was part of "Dutch Days" in Fulton, IL.  Photoshop action by Numizmat

Day 6 - 5/6/2011

The girls got the giggles.  Ironically the photoshop action I used was called sadness.

Day 5 - 05/05/2011

Went with some backyard macro today.  Post processing with "Colorful Glow" by Manicho

Day 3 - 05/03/2011

Ten o'clock at night, he should be sleeping.  Post processing with an action by Manicho

Day 2 - 5/2/2011


My daughter has started the Couch to 5K running program.  I completed the program last fall and now I am running with her.  Taking photos while running is something I'm interested in but difficult to do.  I chose this one because you can see the joy of running in her face.  Post processing with HolgaRoid Generator BW.

Day 1- 05/01/2011


My mom is a hair dresser/beautician which apparently also qualifies her to clean wigs.  It's not uncommon to find a wig on this freaky head in her bathroom.  Post processing with POLA Generator VI
