Day 7 of Project 50
I spent a good chunk of the day teetering on the edge of a barstool in front of a television at the local bar in absolute agony watching the Flyers decimate the Penguins on national television. I know. It was an amazingly warm and sunny day in Long Beach today and the last place that I should have been was at a bar.
My day took a fortuitous turn when I got home to find my wife unloading groceries from Whole Foods from her car. Something that we usually do together on Sunday’s, she got the whole list herself. After dinner, I realized that I still needed a shot for my daily entry in Project 50. I went into our office to grab my camera and I heard the sink running. The Mrs. was now washing the dishes that I had messed up earlier in the morning.
It immediately struck me that a shot of my wife (in all her dishwashing glory) would be an appropriate entry to my Project 50 on a day where she has done so much for me.

Day 6 of Project 50
I spent a few hours at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA this afternoon and I got a bunch of great shots that I will be sharing in another post very soon.
What I would like to share right now is my latest entry into Project 50. This shot combines a few attributes that rarely show up in the shots that I have taken. I combined a tripod with a long exposure to achieve the effect of adding some motion to the water.

Day 5 of Project 50
Early this evening I jumped in with my wife as she had something to do downtown in Los Angeles. I got to walk around a bit for a few minutes at L.A. Live between the Staples Center and The Nokia Theater.
The shadows were pretty harsh so I looked upward and found myself focusing on the lines of the buildings. Here is my selection for Day 5 of Project 50:

Day 4 of Project 50
Being a particularly beautiful and sunny Southern California afternoon, I thought that I would take advantage and have my fourth entry into Project 50 be one that was taken outdoors. Of course there a lot of beautiful flowers in bloom but I wanted to stretch myself and to try something a little different. Rather than focusing my camera on all the flora all around me, I chose a subject of an inorganic nature. Here are a couple of signs on my street.

Day 3 of Project 50 – Toms
I thought that I would share the love tonight with a shot of my wife’s fabulous pair of sparkly Toms. She is, after all my muse …

Day 2 of Project 50
I thought that a fitting subject for Day 2 of Project 50 would be a nice shot of my running shoes. You see, it has been a while since we have spent any time together. Up until a month or so ago, I was training for the Orange County Marathon, and we were spending a lot of time together. Sadly, I was sidetracked by a pretty nasty bug that kept me off the streets for two weeks, and it has taken me almost a month to put them back on. While I haven’t yet set any goals for another event, I was happy to have a chance to catch up with them this afternoon. So, Day 2 is an ode to my shoes!
