Day 8- "The Road I Traveled Less"


The shot is so cool!!! I love how my Palm Pre camera adjusts to the light and you see it on the screen. I've gotten some sweet shots just experimenting. Tuesday morning 6-15-2010 was drab. Nothing really stuck out as photo-worthy until I pointed up and saw the scene on the screen. I could only hope it captured what I saw. The long road ahead was just a huge bonus. I almost missed out on every shot I saw. It was a day where you almost had to stop and catch the shot before it went away. Kind of like life, you have to use the opportunities given you or you lose the chance. A sunset/rise only lasts 30 seconds or so before the shot is lost. God opens doors all the time but sometimes it's only for a certain time while a heart is ready. It could be a person you never met and may never see again having a conversation with you. God may hint loudly that you should discuss their relationship with God. Use that opportunity!

Day 7- "Ahh Pretty"



Another night shot to round out week one. Sunday night/Monday morning 6-14-2010. My favorite part is the dots. Not sure what made them. 51 more weeks and I'll have a year!

Day 6- "Weekend Project"


Nothing was post worthy or interesting today. I did one thing productive on Sunday 6-13-2010 and this is it. I worked in the lines thing I was talking about yesterday too. If you enlarge the pic you can see the old lamp under the eve. A massive improvement if you ask me! Did I say it works too?

Day 5- "West Virginian"


Well I had two separate sets of pictures I tried Saturday 6-12-2010. The sky and the lines in the brick of my house. I had a good one to go with in each set but honestly the day was all about the family. This kid is Chris Mayle and he doesn't live in West Virginia they use to but two years ago they moved to Ohio. It doesn't matter. They will always be West Virginians to us :-)

Day 4- "The Flying J's"

As you can tell by now I'm not a 'go exactly by the rules' kind of guy. This is my Friday pic but it was on the way to work. So, technically it was Thursday night 6-11-2010. I work third shift and when I wake up, I consider it the next day. It keeps everything organized and sane in my head :-) I saw some lights and thought NIGHT SHOTS! I turned off the flash and had some fun. Another thing I will do again!

Day 3- "I See Me"

Okay this one was taken Thursday 6-10-2010. I thought it was cool to see my car reflected on the tank but you can also see the car in the other lane 50 feet away! It has inspired me to look for reflections. I will use these trucks again!

Day 2- "Dreary"

Yuck! What a morning: construction and a dreary day on Wednesday 6-9-2010. Dreary: feeling, displaying, or reflecting listlessness or discouragement, having nothing likely to provide cheer, comfort, or interest. Exactly! I took the fewest amount of pics that day.

Day 1- "Good Morning Toledo"

Okay, here we go. I am going to attempt to take a photograph everyday to show 'my perspective today' for that day. I was inspired by DaNella Auten to try this. Her blog failed miserably. It wasn't bad it just didn't do the whole picture a day thing. Once I get the hang of this thing it should only take a few minutes to accomplish in a day. It is a challenge to keep me in the photograph mode and out of routine. I now own a Palm Pre so I carry a camera everywhere I go. Handy little contraption that I fell in love with before I even got it.
Enough background...this is the first post and I believe it was Tuesday 6-8-2010. I entitle it: "Good Morning Toledo" Quite inspiring isn't it? So good morning photo enthusiasts, it is day one of an adventure that may only end when electronics fail us.
