A Photo A Day

Inspired by another photographer friend of mine, I decided that this is the year that I will take a photo a day just for ME...  As a professional photographer you would think that this would be an easy goal to obtain, yet I find that I seldom have my camera with me when I am not photographing for a client.  At first this goal of a photo a day scared me because I thought I'd have to get some award winning image every day, and that's a tough assisgnment even if I DIDN'T have a full time business to run as well. But that is NOT the goal.  The idea is to just have the camera with me and be aware of all the photo ops as they come up.  It could just be a snapshot of my dog sleeping, or some self assignment related to a theme or subject. I don't even HAVE to share the images I take, although my plan is to post many of the images on this blog as I go, so if you want to check up on me occasionally feel free to check back often.  BETTER YET, join me in this lofty goal to see the world with a fresh eye everyday.  It could be fun...

So... here is today's image (taken while on a hike with some friends) of a Cholla cactus using backlighting to add to the glow of the spines.
