DailyPhotos > Christine  > Smugmug Galleries > Photo a Day Project 2009

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 341:  Christmas Ornament
December 8, 2009
My online saga continues.... just when we think it's all fixed and we've been online for a day, WHAMMO- no internet.  I just spoke to my husband who is home and we have no internet tonight.  I figured I'd take a quick shot at work and upload in in the event I can't upload whatever I shoot this evening.  If I get a better shot, I'll delete this and replace it with something better.  As you can tell, I'm not pleased with this one.  :(
Christine > Day 340: Potato Truck
December 7, 2009
These old trucks keep popping up all over the North Fork.  I guess it's sort of the signature or flavor of the area since it's such an old potato farming community.  The North Fork is the largest agricultural area in the state of New York..... a fact I just learned.  Who knew?
Christine > Day 339:  Heiland Cow (Heelin Coo)
December 6, 2009
Ken and I were driving down a long road on the North Fork and saw this guy in a fenced in field.  We pulled over to say hi.  Heiland is pronounced HI-land but in Scotland, where we first saw this type of cow, they pronounced it HEE-lin COO.
Christine > Day 338:  Holiday Cheer
December 5, 2009
Got home late last night.... it was the "Holiday Party" at a local (and beautiful) restaurant called Giorgio's on the North Fork of Long Island.  A good time was had by all.  This is me toasting the season with a super delicious gin martini with extra olives.  I love this season.... HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL SMUGMUGGERS!!!!  YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Christine > Day 336:  Holiday Season
December 3, 2009
I tried for two hours to upload this shot to Smugmug but couldn't get online.  I have yet to go to Best Buy and am getting frustrated.  :(
Christine > Day 335:  An Old Friend
December 2, 2009
This guy is really getting to know me.  Sometimes during the week, if I'm having a particularly stressful day at work, I drive down the road during my lunch break to visit the horses.  I guess that explains why I have so many horse photos in my POTD gallery lol.  This guy trots excitedly towards me when he sees me get out of my Jeep and wallk towards the fence.  I'm starting to really like this guy.  And for some reason I have a serious affection for horse noses, especially from strange and low angles.  I only wish I had a wide angle lens.....

Christine > Day 334:  Green Onions
December 1, 2009
Soon my beloved farm stands will be closed for the winter.....
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...
