The Second Quarter of 2015, A Sampler of Photographs

I'm working on my fifth year of a 365 photography project. Every day, I make a photograph.

A photograph a day, marks the year, the passage of time - a kind of visual diary.

Today marks the end of the second quarter of the year...half-way through 2015.

April, May, and June have been the quarter of spring. Spring, when the earth awakens from the cold dark winter, and growth is expected, demanded. Spring appears to be a gentle unfolding, but it is a hard, sometimes brutal process.

For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, 

it must come completely undone. 

The shell cracks, its insides come out and 

everything changes. 

To someone who doesn't understand growth, 

it would look like complete destruction.

 Following is a sample of the photographs for April, May, and June.

While spring is taking over the days, I try to hold it still for a moment.

2015 Photography Project - Week 1

This year I've continued my 365 photography project - a photograph or work of art - every day. This is a compilation of the first week of photographs, week one, January 1 to January 7.

New Year's day, January 1st we were in Williamsburg, Virginia. We stopped in to visit the cabinet maker's shop. The light was lovely and I took this photograph of one of the master carpenters at work.

The second day, it was back to work. Bartholdi Fountain is one of my favorite places to visit on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.

On the third day I visited Loudoun County during the week, and captured this barn on a cold and blustery day.

Days 4 and 5 involved still life compositions at home. Pomegranates and feathers.

Day 6 and we had snow, my dog Bear delights in the snow and I delight in him.

 And to round out the week, on the seventh day, an outside composition of a pear in the snow.
