Photo 365 Project - Cliff Road (Ordinary) Traffic
Working at my company's office, I commute along a very straight and occasionally backed up road. I snapped this picture waiting at a stoplight in one of the more jam-prone sections of road. It's significance? Nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, 20 years from now the ordinary may seem extra-ordinary. I know whenever I come back from a vacation trip and think back to what I saw, it doesn't ever seem to be the stuff I actually took pictures of. It is the ordinary stuff that pops into mind.

Photo 365 Project - Car Mirror
You may have heard of a concept that involves taking a photo once a day for a year. Here's an attempt. Some things come to mind that might help the success of this little project:
- Keep it simple. The photos are snapshots of a moment in time during the day. No hunting out the perfect picture.
- Keep the description simple. I don't want to catch myself saying "I'll post the photo later, when I have inspiration for writing the description"
- Easy accountability. I'm kind of complicating that by posting the pictures to Blogger, that's just another step (I could, and have to this point, just e-mail the pictures to myself).
The kickoff picture is a self portrait, of my index finger. In the mirror. Of my car. Showing the temp. It was actually taken with the intent of posting to facebook to get people in cold places to say 'wow'. Now it has another, more manageable purpose. Being the 365 Photo of the Day.
