Welcome to the Photo a Day Project blog, where you can read about my adventures in my quest to take a photo every day for the whole year!
The Calm
Day 299
A wonderful calm morning, beautiful sunrise, warm day. It was the calm before the storm of the day at work. I like it when it is nice like this, I only wish it would last through the whole day, or actually I wish I could just sit and watch the sun come up and drink tea, then watch it set again and start over.

Middle of the Week
Day 298
Yet another busy workday, and another foggy rainy day which wasn't so bad, it was sort of warm. Well not warm but not too cold either. Days like today, Wednesdays, right in the middle of the week, can be a drag, but at least at the end of the day there are only 2 days left until the weekend.

Foggy Night
Day 297
It was one miserable, rainy cold day today, it never stopped all day. The clouds were right down on us making everything gray and wet, really really wet. But the good news is that it's going to get warm and sunny again!
"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Perfect Day
Day 296
Even though today was Monday, and I slept through my alarm and had to go to work, it was a beautiful fall day. I could use a few more of these, except sleeping through the alarm.

Black and White
Day 295
I don't know why I don't take more photos in black and white, I think it looks better than color, at least most of he time it does. Back in the day I only used to do black and white. Black and white was the type of film you could develop your self, in you home darkroom, or in my case the downstairs bathroom. I kind of miss those simple times where you took a roll of film and then in the pitch black tried to get it on a metal reel with out ripping it or bending it or wrinkling it, then get it into a little can put the top on and pour the developer in it. It was fun! Then you could print your own black and white photos which was like magic watching the image appear on the paper in the tray. I will confess I loved it, the smelly chemicals that stained your clothes, the nerves waiting to see if anything comes out on the film, wondering if any of the photos are any good, or in focus...I miss the good old days.
