Yet Another Month

February, 2011

The last two years, I gave myself an assignment: I picked one month, and made myself take a picture each day of that month. Further – it could not just be a “snapshot” – I had to actually try to get a decent image. Last year, I added the restriction that all pictures would be made with a telephoto lens. This year, I decided all of the images were to be made with a wide angle lens. This definitely, at times, proved to be a bit difficult. I also picked the month of February, which turned out to be colder than any in recent years and, to top it off, I caught the flu. Both factors definitely added to the challenge. Some days the weather or light was such that I never would have gone out, and a few times I actually ended up shooting indoors. Much of the time, I had only a vague concept as to what I would end up photographing. Here are this year’s results. They are, once again, quite different from previous years. Some are quite interesting – and I intend to use the flu as my excuse for the “lesser” images. As in the past, the exercise was rewarding, frequently in ways that I did not expect. See what you think…
