Odds and Ends 2: Photographic Year in Review

posted in: Photography, Updates

My successful Picture-A-Day project for 2009 contains 365 photographs taken with my Pentax Optio W60 camera. (Well, I think there are a few exceptions – there’s one Halo screenshot in there, and there might be one iPhone photo).

The goal of this project was to take at least one photo for every day of 2009. In 2008, I only managed to get 182 photo-a-day shots; 2009’s effort has smashed that number with a 100% success factor.

The quality of the photos runs the gamut from blurry or grainy or terribly composed to uniquely-lighted, almost properly composed, or downright artistically pleasant to look at.

There are rainbows, fireworks, pink elephants, meals, olympic torches, grassy fields, flowers, leaves, books, boats, buildings, parking meters, newspapers, retail items, business signs, desserts, cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, planes, trains, and automobiles.

I documented myself fishing, kayaking for the first time, getting married (I suppose it was only hinted at in these photos), having a stag party wherein an *actual stag* showed up (although I ended up using a colourful fishing reel photo instead of a blurry zoomed photo for that day), getting my new computer, honeymooning at Disneyland, and (in a way) celebrating the successful completion of the project.

I am considering taking the photos and making them into a book. While that might end up being a bit too pricey, it would make a nice cap on an already impressive project follow-through.
