365 Project: Day 6

Why? Because I wanted aperture. Expect better, more professional photos after I get a D90 and a flashgun.

365 Project: Day 5

Snowmen. We all love them, but some of us can't have them. I love cold weather, but it's just not quite as fun without snow. Hopefully We'll get some thursday/friday, and I can get you some more pics and maybe an actual snowman.

This guy held my hot chocolate earlier this evening =)

365 Project: Day 4

Bogen 3030/a. coupled with a 3047 head, and you get the perfect telephoto tripod. With a 50mm 1.8 on a d60, it's a little overkill. It's been with my father for 30 years. It ways quite a bit. Alot, actually. think of all the photos he's taken on this over the past 3 decades? Fascinating.

oh, on another note, Sara Norris Commented on my Blog!!! You might not know about her, but you will. I'll see if I can't get permission to do a feature on her this week. But, she's my *favorite* photographer and runs a tremendous business. I'll tell more about that later, but How cool is it for your inspiration to comment and follow your blog!? She's inspired me to work on this 365 project until I just can't do i. And hopefully, I'll make it a year before that happens.

Ciao for now ;)

365 Project: day 3

Not a particularly amazing photo, but I just wanted the Bokeh :)


Announcement time: I figured I'll tell you before I get too far in. I started the 365 project to get better at photography. My friend who did a photo-a-day thing just couldn't go on after 2 weeks. He said it was just too hard to take a unique photograph every day. I've noticed that in just 3 days. I'm 12. I can't drive. I'm constrained to wherever I am. That poses a large challenge to an already monumental task. So, I'll see how far I can go.

But, I have a question for everybody who reads this. Would you rather see a photo a day, or would you like to see photos often, not every single day, but often, with them being more unique and interesting in the long run. Because there's only so many different things in a house you can take pictures of.

Let me know. Regards, Ev.

365 project: Day 2




Day 2. Borders. My favorite place. We go every weekend for an evening of reading and coffee. Seattle's best coffee. Sadly, I tend not to read books when I'm there, usually magazines. About photography. I love to read. I will read any length of text as long as I'm interested in it. I love reading about politics, photography, technology, coffee, and any good blog.

365 Project: Day 1


And so begins a 365 day journey of self improvement.

Keep in mind, only a number of these will be of me. most will be of things around me.

And so begins a new decade

Today is the first day of 2010. It's also the first day of the 201- Decade. Last night was the last day we could stick our eyes through the zero's in our time/space status for ten years. But, this is my first decade change where I'm old enough to realize what Y2K(X) means. and so, this turning of the year is like no other. Everybody makes resolutions for going to the gym or whatever, but with the new decade coming around, I want to do something more. A new beginning. I'm guessing every 1-in-5 blogs are saying this, but It's what I want to do. I want to be more active, blog more often, take more photos, and getting better photos out of the ones I take. And so, This begins the first out of 365 days of photos. Yes, I'm starting the 365 project. Not every photo will be up the same day, but I will make positive I take a photo every day. It might have 3 words to go with it, it might have a lengthly blog post to partner with it.

Day one will be up sometime tonight.
