Dilly Dally Dailies

2-9-09, originally uploaded by BetweenTheShutter.

I was able to have a really awesome conversation with a new-er friend tonight. We enjoyed coffee and each other and use our brokenness and experiences to speak into each other’s lives. It was one of those good ones.

While we were talking I ended up ripping up my coffee sleeve to make a girl and her dog. – it sort of just happened. Personally, I think she’s kind of cute.

This blog is the proof of a creative experiment I am doing this year: to take a picture everyday – rain or shine, sickness or health, ’till New Years Eve does us part.

The point is to train my eye to see things that I normally rush past in my busy day.  My daily routine (especially during the week) can get rather monotonous, so I’m guessing by March (or sooner) I’m going to have to be looking pretty hard to find new things to photograph.  That’s when this should get really interesting.

These are dailies… most of them will not be professional quality.  If they are lucky they might get 2 minutes of post processing  - but I’m guessing by Feburary most of them probably won’t get that.  I will mostly be using my point ‘n shoot, Nikon Coolpix P5000, not my DSLR (the dang thing just won’t fit in my purse).   That being said,  I am going for artistic composition and  I still want these to be “good” photos even though they will often be taken quickly.

Feel free to leave comments/suggestions/critics etc.  Thanks for coming along for the ride!
