A Photo a Day (also known as Project 365) - What is it?? It's exactly what the name implies - a photo is posted each and every day for a full year. You can choose to impose whatever rules or criteria you wish- some photographers insist that the photo be taken the same day it's posted, others will post an older photo that they "Photoshop" the day they post it, and still others don't impose any rules at all. My goal for this project is to take several photos every day and choose the best from that day to post. I have been able to stick to it for the most part (with one or two exceptions so far). I carry my Nikon D300 wherever I go- it's now like one of my limbs. It's one of the most challenging things I've ever committed to doing but so far it's been well worth it. If you've got a minute to spare, go ahead and hit the slideshow button. And don't be shy about giving a photo a “thumbs up” or even commenting if you see something you like. :D

Lastly, for those visitors that aren't members of Smugmug, the photos posted to this gallery are critiqued by photographers that belong to the "Daily Community". If you click on the "DailyPhotos" link above (it's next to my name), you will be taken to a gallery with photos posted by other the members. There's a lot of beautiful work out there.... you can get lost for hours.

Christine > Day 333:  Kramer
November 30, 2009
I apologize for this post- I took this photo a few days ago but was unable to get a new shot today.  It rained all afternoon and when I got home, I immediately tried to resolve a problem with my router (neither my husband nor I can get online via our wireless router).  Apparently, the company that manufacture the routers (Netgear), doesn't care if their product works.  I called their customer support who notified me that since I purchased it a little over the 3 month "telephone support" warrenty, I would have to pay $69.99 for a one month subscription for technical support.  Seriously??  I bought it around 4 months ago, now it's not working and I need to pay more money??  I'm going to restrain myself and quote my mom by saying "I'm mad as a wet hen!!".  Needless to say, I will be returning this piece of junk of a router to Best Buy who will no doubt charge me a restocking fee to take it back.  AWESOME!!!!  Please pass the advil...

I had no internet service last night for some reason so although this was taken yesterday, I couldn't upload it until today.
Christine > Day 331:  Backwards Boots
November 28, 2009
I was at my Crack Shack (Starbucks) for a fix when I noticed this cute little boy with his boots on backwards.  After getting his dad's permission, I asked him to hike up his pajama pants and I put my camera on the floor and photographed them.  It was terrible lighting for photography in the coffee shop so I had to so some serious photoshopping and found that in my attempts at "recovery", I created something a little artsy.  Not quite sure how I feel about it but I just had to make it my photo of the day so as to always remember this funny little boy with the backwards boots.  Better at xlg.

His personality in front of the camera is a photographers dream.

Christine > Day 327:  O'Puss
November 24, 2009
I figured since yesterday's POTD was of Kramer, I should post one of my other cat, O'Puss so as not to play favorites.  I actually spent about an hour with him in my giant bed playing with a mouse.  He was so annoyed with me it was funny.  I know I need to stop when I see that snaggletooth (his fang pops out in disgust).  I liked the way this came out dispite my dislike for flash photography.  I have decided to force myself to do it for this project so I learn to not hate it so much and also for some needed improvement.  All suggestions, comments, critiques welcome.

Christine > Day 326:  Kramer (he's a real pisser!)
November 23, 2009
And by that I don't mean he's funny.  He's the little devil that has taken to peeing on my bedroom carpet every now and again.  Whenever I realize that it happened again, I look at him, shake my finger and say sternly, "That's it!  I'm kicking you out for good and that's final!".  He just gives me that look, similar to the one you see here.  He knows he's too cute to be kicked out.  Fresh cat!    Click here for more freshness....
Christine > Day 325:  Emma
November 22, 2009
I met this sweet girl at my neice's baby shower.  I couldn't take my eyes off of her- she's gorgeous and she really liked my camera and being both in front of and behind it).  My lighting here isn't fantastic (I used my external flash on my hot shoe and bounced it off of a somewhat high ceiling) but I just loved her expression.  Any suggestions on lighting technique that would have prevented it from being so harsh are welcome. :)

 I uploaded a few other shots of Emma in my alternate gallery.
