Day 34 - Adventures while driving in town

2009.11.30
It rained for a little bit today, but mostly it was just over cast all day. Canon 5D/50mm

I couldn't decide which I liked better, so you get both.

So this was in the parking lot next to my car. Look like a fish to me. Canon 5D/50mm

I think my grungy parking lot needs a little more grudge to it. Maybe I'll come back later and fix it. Canon 5D/50mm

This is my along the way progress report! Today, I did a little reflecting on what this project (356) was teaching me. I suppose you get what you put into things, but I kinda had an eye opening day. I realized this project has revived the love of picking up my camera and shooting for me. I love owning my own business and shooting weddings, but I think I have to make time for both in my life. Everyone seems to be under a notion that owning your own business is wonderful because you aren't "working for the man" (and maybe I thought that at one time, that it was just that easy) but it's very hard work and it takes a lot of "getting out of your box" to be successful.

I've also realized that I'm appreciating things a lot more. I can find beauty and art in the mundane. I might not have given a second thought about the rain on my windshield, but I'm constantly thinking to myself "that would make a good picture" even if I'm just standing in a grocery store.

Finally, I'm proud of myself for sticking with it. I know it's only 34 days so far, but it feels good to know that I've sucked it up and taken a picture of something, even on the days I really really don't feel like it.

Good stuff. I'm sure I'll include these every so often.

Listening to: The Pogues: Love you till the end.
