Day 7 of 365

Went for a run today. Not a long one. This was my running gear. My Five Finger KSO's, iPhone with RunKeeper app, arm strap and Bose earbuds. The RunKeeper app keeps track of my speed, distance and time. Even shows a map of your route. Pretty cool. I prefer to run in my KSOs cuz I'm down with the minimalist running style.

Day 6 of 365

Been curious about this lens for a while so I decided to rent it. Just got here today. So for the next 4 days you will be seeing photos taken with this sucker. It's lightweight, got a wide aperture and seems pretty sharp so far. Should work great in low light situations. That lens hood though, doesn't seem like its gonna do much for blocking out lens flare but it should be OK for protecting the front of the lens from bumps. I definitely plan on doing some portraits with this.

Right now I'm debating between this and the Nikkor 50mm 1.8D. So I'll try this out first then try out the 50mm. Best part about both lenses is that they are pretty damn cheap. So if I can't choose between them I might just get them both.

Day 5 of 365

Day 1 of my diet. Why? Because today I tipped the scales at 200 lbs. Might not seem like much but for a guy that stands at 5' 7", that's a lot of weight. Granted I don't look like I weigh that much but for my height and age, it's not a healthy weight.

Looks like its fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains, lots of cardio and circuit training for this guy. I've been able to get myself in great shape before. I can do it again.

Day 4/365

Welcome home babe.

Wifey is now out of the hospital and back at home. Still in some pain though. Keeping food down, and no more nausea. Recovery will take a few weeks but all is looking good so far.

These are a some " get well soon " flowers that were waiting for her when she got home. Glad to see her friends care about her and are thinking about her.

Thanks for the support everybody.

Day 3/365

The Wife went in for surgery today. It was a quick and easy surgery. Only took about 40 minutes. Took this shot while she was sleeping in her recovery room. She is scheduled to leave the hospital tomorrow as long as she can keep food down.  The nausea from the meds made it difficult for her to keep anything down today. Hopefully things look better tomorrow.

Day 2/365

These are my work horses. With these two I will hopefully achieve my goal of completing my 365 Project.

Project 365

 

Hello Photo Art fans!! So, yesterday I made a last minute decision to do a 356 day photo project. I have been thinking about doing this for a while but never went through with it due to my job. I'm not always home and don't always have access to the Internet. Deployments also tend to get in the way of doing the things I want to do. Nothing is ever certain in this job so its hard to plan ahead. Besides all that, I decided to go ahead and go through with the project. We will see how long I will be able to keep this project going.

The point of this project is to take a new photo every day for a whole year. Each photo different from the last. This will be a test of my creativity and hopefully help me grow as a photographer.

Wish me luck and I hope you all enjoy the photos.  As always critiques and comments are always welcome.

Champagne to start off the new year. Happy New Year everybody.
