A Photo a Day (also known as Project 365) - What is it?? It's exactly what the name implies - a photo is posted each and every day for a full year. You can choose to impose whatever rules or criteria you wish- some photographers insist that the photo be taken the same day it's posted, others will post an older photo that they "Photoshop" the day they post it, and still others don't impose any rules at all. My goal for this project is to take several photos every day and choose the best from that day to post. I have been able to stick to it for the most part (with one or two exceptions so far). I carry my Nikon D300 wherever I go- it's now like one of my limbs. It's one of the most challenging things I've ever committed to doing but so far it's been well worth it. If you've got a minute to spare, go ahead and hit the slideshow button. And don't be shy about giving a photo a “thumbs up” or even commenting if you see something you like. :D
Lastly, for those visitors that aren't members of Smugmug, the photos posted to this gallery are critiqued by photographers that belong to the "Daily Community". If you click on the "DailyPhotos" link above (it's next to my name), you will be taken to a gallery with photos posted by other the members. There's a lot of beautiful work out there.... you can get lost for hours.
Day 181: Boxing Nun
July 1, 2009
This feisty lady looks like many of my grammar school teachers. I used to torture my husband by "boxing" the side of his face while he watched one of his political shows (Hardball, Keith Oberman, Rachel Maddow etc). There are controls in the back for each arm. It drove him crazy!! Then one day he really looked at the face and the look of absolute shock overcame him. "She looks exactly like my mother!!!!" he said. His mom passed away many years before he and I met and he lost most of his pictures in a house fire a few years back. I compared her to one shot he had of her and was amazed. Right down to the lipstick- the faces were identical!! I haven't punched him since then- don't want to be the reason for a large psychotherapy bill. Doh!
