Exercise for the Eye

So a week or two ago a friend issued a challenge to me: Take some pictures every day, and post one online. He’d do it too, and the two of us would get to enjoy each other’s work, as well as get a little picture-taking practice. I roped in a couple more people who I thought would be interested and so did he, and so now there are seven of us.

Some days coming up with an interesting subject is a challenge, but usually once I get my camera in my hand and start walking around a scene will present itself. I’ve been posting my photos to a Flickr photoset. I’m also flexing my tiny HTML, CSS, and PHP muscles to create a site to see all the pictures taken by the participants on a given day. It’ll be at http://www.breadandsoup.net/dailyphoto/ once it’s done. (There’s something up there now, but it’s not finished.)

Update
It’s live.

Which season are we in, again?

Um, excuse me? Mother Nature? Gods of the Weather? Today is March 27th. March 27th. As in, almost April. There’s no excuse for this:

The daffodils would also like to register their objections:

The Eclipse

A couple weeks ago we had a lunar eclipse (the last total eclipse visible in North America until 2010). It was frigid, as it has been too often this winter, but it was also clear, and the moon rose over the courtyard behind my apartment, so I could watch it from my back porch.
