365 = Day 8

365 = Day 7

Since its been such gloomy weather, I decided to put up a picture from a sunnier day.

365 = Day 6

Hurricane Sandy

365 = Day 5

Carvings

365 = Day 4

Crashing before the storm

365 = Day 3

Creamy shadows

365 = Day 2

I couldn't resist...I saw this sign and just knew it had to be today's picture!

365 = Day 1

I kinda feel a little ridiculous...every time I pull out my camera, I see tons of things that I want to take pictures of! Choosing just one picture for the day is really hard. So, since I have to choose one, I'll post that here, but if anyone is interested in seeing those that didn't quite make the cut, please visit my other blog to see them: http://nikkijor.posterous.com/


Here is my "Day 1" photo:

An Explanation and Invitation

A friend of mine recently started this photo challenge...taking one picture every day for a whole year. It's a great way to develop the art of photography (even if you're like me and very inexperienced!), to embrace the idea of being aware of the beauty around you every moment, and to develop discipline within yourself to meet a personal goal. 

So, with all of these ideas in mind, I have chosen to accept the challenge myself, and thus, this blog. I know the photos I post won't be perfect, but I'm okay with that. My hope is that I will grow through this experience and become a better photographer and better person than I am now. So I invite you to come along with me. 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will usually have very little explanation of each photo, but I hope they will speak for themselves. Feel free to comment or suggest, and maybe some of you will find within yourselves the desire to begin the challenge on your own, or find your own form of expression. Whatever you choose to do, may it strengthen and light your soul with a love of beauty.

God bless!
