My window of opportunity for taking my daily snapshot was very small today. I had to settle for a quick shot out of a window that has not been washed in a while. I stood there a few minutes in hopes someone with a red or yellow umbrella would walk by, but that never happened. I had to settle for a young woman dressed in black.

012913_4PAndPProduceWorkingRI work a couple of blocks up from this little market that sells local produce. It used to be a bank. I remember having a safe deposit box there, so it’s weird going in and looking at fruits and vegetables where the vault used to be. Anyway, it is a great place to photograph. This couple was completely oblivious to me as I followed them around the inside. After buying some apples for myself, I turned and shot this photo.

012813_3CosmeticMarketWorkingRI had to run an errand during work today, so I decided to stop at this market to see what I could find for my project. Only after I took the photo did I realize there was a man in the upper window looking down at the lady crossing the street.

A snapshot a day

4x5 camera, creativity, photo a day, Photography

Ok. I have given myself a project. We’ll see if I can pull it off. My goal is to take a photo – just one – every day for an entire year. No do-overs, so I will have to make it good. It will be like it was when I was in school and shooting with film. Not much money, so every frame I shot was well-thought out and worth the exposure. At least that was the intent. That didn’t always work out. But anyway, this is my plan. I may not be able to upload them here every day, but I will definitely shoot SOMETHING every day. The idea is to get me shooting and thinking about photography instead of my being totally wrapped up in work, renovations, laundry and litter boxes.

So here is my first image. It’s a self-portrait with a lot of meaning. It resembles the very first photo I ever took (posted on my very first post here), but it also is a statement on where I was in my photography vs. where I have to be now. Digital is great and cool and all of that, but I will always be old school at heart. I miss the darkroom.

Me with my old friend.
