After looking over my images from today, I really like this composition better than the daffodil I uploaded earlier. There’s a nice balance between the dog and the empty bench which implies a connection.
I'll be taking a photo a day for the next year and place the images on this blog. This is a way for me to become a better photographer and will force me to dig deeper to expand my vision.

Day 351
As I was taking photos of these two geese swimming in the upper pond at Ste Michelle today, the one on the left hopped up on the edge and turned to face the other. I couldn’t believe the composition! Of course my camera was having problems finding a focus point that wasn’t in the center so I has to swap to focus points really quickly. I only had a few seconds to take this picture. Geese really don’t understand the meaning of “hold that pose!”

Day 350
With only 15 days left in this project I wanted to get a little creative today. I set up my camera in front of the coolers at work and waited for someone to come walking in. I developed this with a bleached bypass preset and then added some solarization . The result reminds me of a 70’s illustration.

Day 349
Rocks and clouds. I took a similar photo way in the beginning of this project and I wanted to take another one for a comparison as to how far I’ve come since then. I think I’ve come a long way!

The Case Nooksack Cemetery. I saw this little cemetery on the way home from Mt Bake today. It's an odd little photo.

Day 344
I saw this guy changing the billboard on the way to work this morning. I pulled the truck over and did the quickest lens swap in the history of mankind all while jumping out the door. I get so excited when MacDonald’s has a great new deal coming soon!

Day 343
I’ve taken a couple of shots in this Kirkland downtown alley but this time I just aimed my camera and waited from someone to complete my composition for me. When this waiter came down the stairs on his way to a smoke break I had my shot.

Cannoli! I don’t think I’ve had a Cannoli since we left Chicago. This little bit of goodness was found at Barolo’s Ristorante in downtown Seattle.

Meet the next poster icon for pet, dental hygiene. I didn’t even have to add the tooth brush in Photoshop because this little guy loves to brush his teeth. We just needed to get him in a spot where the light was nice. Now, if we can just get him to floss.

Day 337
Portrait of a goat at Farrel McWhiter Park in Redmond. I shot this from a low opening in the fence. He thought the camera was something to eat because he kept on getting closer.

Day 335
Another Powrider caught on film! I found this Powrider lurking about at Snoqualmie this morning. The snow was heavy enough that I should probably reclassify this as a “Poohrider”.
Day 334
Well if I walk into a restaurant with a camera, there’s a pretty good chance I’m going to take your picture. I really like how the left side of her face is fading into the shadows.

Day 333
I saw from the window of my truck and grabbed my camera and fired off a bracketed set before the guy on the right stepped down. But the light changed and I had to move on anyway.

Day 332
The trees below the meadow at Yodelin. Yeah, they are pretty but this is the wrong way back to the truck.

Day 330
Totally at a loss of what to shoot today I just started driving and ended up in a parking lot at Marina Park in Kirkland. Just a couple steps from my car I saw this veedub looking all hippy like. The owner even had stuffed animals in the back window to finish off the composition.

This was the last day of my snowboarding vacation. We snowboarded 5 of 7 days, 3 new ski resorts, 3 sunny days, 2 powder days, uncountable chair lift rides and my first poma lift, I’m a little tired. I shot this shadow self portrait at the top of Look Out Pass Ski Resort in North Idaho. It was a beautiful sunny morning with 4 inches of new snow. What a wonderful way to end a great vacation.

Day 322
This is a simple shot up in the alpine at Big Sky, MT. I really like the feeling and simplicity of this shot.
Day 321
This is my shot of the day, literally! A shot of Jagermeister at the The Pinnacle, a bar in the alpine at Big Sky Ski resort. I took a couple more runs after this and they were really fast!

Day 320
Big Sky resort had a lot of lifts on wind hold again today so we went out to explore the area. This is a river just off the side of the road.
