I had such high hopes for myself for the start of this project. Like pretty much everything else I've ever done, they were a bit on the lofty side and I'm already running egregiously behind. I know this is already officially Friday, but since I haven't yet gone to sleep it's still going to be my Day 1 post. Day 2 will be up after I've been to sleep, and I'm going to try and keep a bit more on track after that.
Anyhoo, since it's now after 3AM and I'd like to be getting to sleep soon I'll keep this on the shorter side. I want to use this project as a way to rekindle my love of photography. I'll fully admit I've gotten a bit sloppy and lazy with it since I went digital about three years ago. My goal is to get back to a place where I'm photographing more interesting subject matter and really thinking about what I'm shooting, not just shooting everything in my field of vision because I can. I'm sure we've all been there, taking eleventy billion photos of something uninteresting in the hopes one of them will accidentally become interesting.
I'm thinking as of the moment I want to go back to using more film and less digital. If you've met me, you know I'll change my mind nine hundred times over, but at least it's my intention as of now. If nothing else, the limited shot count should be helpful in making said shots count. That being said I'm planning on posting all sorts of photos this year. I'm not going to exclusively stick to making compelling fine art nonsense photos. Most of them will probably be some sort of glimpse into my bizarre day to day life, surely some of them will be conceptual, and others a study in technique. Whatever they are, I'm sure this will be a highly beneficial activity.
I took two rolls of film earlier today (er, yesterday at this point), but by the time I got home with them I had no desire to actually process the film. Hopefully I'll get around to that once I wake up later and they can make for my Day 2 photo. So, starting off my entries with a complete lie is the photo above. I didn't take it today, but I did scan it today. (poorly, but that's irrespective at this point). It's something I shot last summer, off the first test film I put through a new camera. It's on Fuji Velvia 50 and reminded me of warm weather, something we're rather lacking up here at the moment.
So, after all that long rambling entry, best of luck everyone. This should be an awesome year.
not much to say about this. I took the picture tonight after finishing the tree-trimming. I plan to take a few, more detailed photos of the tree. I find the lighting fascinating to experiment with. 
Since I've been on this infernal quest to redo my desk for the past few days my creativity feels completely shot. I need to force myself outside to take some actual photos, or at least something that isn't just on my desk. One of the pens has a broken clip. Can you find it?
I made this delicious pasta thing for dinner, and going off Allison's texture post from yesterday I felt like I needed to take a photo of it once it cooled. I can't quite decide if it actually looks appetizing or revolting.
Messing around with the shutter again tonight. I took this one in the driveway, just set it on the back of may car and slowly walked around for 20 seconds.
This is where I work. I spend about 30 hours a week in this little box projecting the same movie over and over and over again. That little pink chair isn't very comfortable. And I wonder why I'm not feeling creative these days.
I've been playing around with shutter speed lately. Took these tonight looking down onto interstate 89 about 5 minutes from my house. Lack of tripod and shaking hands due to the 30 degree temp left me with these two out of about 20. I went to the airport and attempted to get one of an airplane landing but it came out pretty crappy. On the plus side I've got another 361 days to try and get a good one.
So, I'm in the process of rewiring my desk and all of the cables are everywhere. This is one of the smaller piles, but it at least had some interesting colors. Nothing really spoke to me today for some reason.
The first snowfall of the season came seemingly out of nowhere today, making for an hour long white out. Snapped these while on a cigarette break at work. The third picture is the view out my front windshield before I turned the wipers on.
Graham & the Spin-N-Win. A bunch of us went out to Dave and Busters after thanksgiving dinner and I snapped a few shots on a REALLY expired roll of Tri-X 320. I never really liked that emulsion much, so hopefully you won't be seeing much more of it. I think I only have one more roll of it floating around (thankfully). I found two rolls of exposed film in my fridge today and I have absolutely no idea what's on them or where they are from so I'm going to run those soon and possibly post something from them if there's anything on them worth looking at. I didn't really do too much to the shot other than spot a few bits of dust off. My scanner <3's dust.
