Have been doing my best to keep up with the 365 project. I’ll admit it hasn’t been easy, however, after reviewing the fruits of my labor, am seeing some positive results. One of the threads I have noticed is a tendency to shoot closer to home. A number of images have just come as a result of carrying the camera while taking Baxter (the dog) for a walk. Instead of taking the same repetitive stroll night after night, have taken some contrary action to get out and explore at different times of the day.

If nothing else, my wanderings have kept me motivated to pay more attention to the details of my surroundings (even while I drive), always keeping a camera close by. Am starting to not be so concerned with “getting the shot,” as to just be in the present. The shots will come and go, but the discipline of going out and taking the action each and every day is where I will see the greatest reward. It may take years or a decades till I have a collection of images that I am proud of, but it’s a journey not a destination…right!
