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.
Day 86: Tap
I'm 41 and I am currently enrolled in an "Adult" Tap class. Several of my co-workers and I take weekly lessons every Friday night with a goal of performing in a recital in June. Personally, i could do without the recital part but the class is fun and it's a little bit of exercise. There's a wide range of ages in our group. Melissa (also known as "Mini Me" because she's 4'10") is 24, Patty, Marian, and Joanne are in their early 50's and as I mentioned I'm 41. We dance to "Chattanooga Choo Choo" but really we're just a train wreck. There are a few women older than anyone in our group- two look like they're in their 70's and they just can't remember a lot of steps in succession. Me, I'm about as graceful as a bull in a china store and Patty falls. All the time- seriously, like EVERY class. And not a quick slip or loss of balance mind you. A cartoon-like fall where her feet just slip out from under her and her legs fly up in the air and she lands flat on her back. Every class. And she gets up every time and takes a bow. Some of my family are way too enthusiastic about going to the recital and I'm CERTAIN it's not because they love me or because they're interested in tap. It's all about the video recorder and You Tube. Good thing I have a sense of humor!
