Photo a Day Success!

Four years in a row with a successfully completed photo a day, 365 challenge! Here’s the last photo for this year!

365/365 SUCCESS!
You knew it was either going to be a cat or a guitar, right?

September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023
September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022
September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021*

*One of these days had a video rather than a still photo. I decided to allow it.

**This was actually a 366 challenge. Thanks, leap year!

Guitar Playing Avalanche

Eight songs. I put lead guitars on eight songs this morning and it was all before 8:15am. My finger tips are a burning agony right now. I saved the song I am playing my step son’s guitar on for last. The strings are probably 7-8 years old and feel like barbed wire. I was hurting before I played that puppy, and I am hurting more now. Ouch babie, ouch.

Two Days Left

I started my photo a day challenge on September 1st. There are only two days left in this year’s running. Tomorrow and the day after and that will be it for my fourth consecutive photo a day.

I took this picture this morning before I left for the office because I wanted to have something shot with my Z5 rather than my little point and shoot, or my iPhone. This is number 363 of 365. Crazy, right?

Fun with Depth of Field

No guitar playing this morning. I’ve had a couple of personal screw ups that have messed my plans up quite a bit today, and all before 8:00am. Wonderful.

I meant to play guitar but instead I just took today’s photo a day picture. I had a little fun with depth of field. F2 for the win. Today’s photo a day is 362. Only three days left. It would be just my luck to screw it up now.

Sunday Morning Car Music

Three days in a row. This is becoming a trend!

Car music this morning. I put vocals on the four songs I wrote lyrics for last night, and one extra that was left over from last month. At least I parked in a different spot today. You know, just trying to keep things fresh.

Here’s hoping I get a chance to record some lead guitars today. Maybe add another song idea or two and put rhythm guitars on them. We also need to start mixing some of this crap too. Time to start finishing these puppies off.

On the way home I took some point and shoot pictures, mostly stop light theater because I got stopped at almost every light in the city. Happy Sunday!

Morning Music

It’s 9:00am on Thursday. I am punched into work, starting the day for reals. What did I do before work? Besides my morning exercise, breakfast, a shower, and a kiss for my wife as she left for the office for the day?

I played some guitar. I put rhythm guitars onto two songs and lead guitars onto two other songs. I have a metric ton of stuff left to do by the end of next month, but we’re picking away at it and a little progress was made. Sigh of relief, babie!

Photo a Day

Yeah, I think I am going to give up on the little 2008 Casio point and shoot.

It took about five tries to auto-focus on the sky. Like… how much more light do you need? I want to get something new, but there aren’t a lot of pocket sized options anymore and they are way more expensive then they should be in the days of the iPhone. I don’t want to go back to doing all of this on my iPhone but I think we’re heading in that direction. Shit.

Why do I not want to use my iPhone? Snobbery. That’s all. What can you do?

Fortunately my guitar is still out of the case from when I played it the other day. I was able to sneak a couple of super narrow depth of field pics in before I left the house this morning and one of those will be my 357th photo a day pic for this round of 365 days.
