Last Saturday weekend, I started something new. There's this ongoing project on Flickr. It goes by many names and ideas but for the sake of being simple, I'll called it 365. The premise is easy: take one photo a day. Like I said, there are many different ideas regarding 365. Just to name a few, one project entails you taking a self portrait each day of the year, while another has you taking a photo of an object (and even then, there are different projects regarding specific objects to 365) each day of the year. Alot of the different 365 projects are pretty cool and I might get into one of them these days but for this one, I decided to do the one photo a day of whatever I feel is worth capturing or documenting. Take it as a blog approach which is what I do already so it comes easy and simple to me. Although I'm just starting this project so late in the year, I've always wanted to do this but it didn't occur to me until now. In the past, what stopped me was my main use of film but now that I have a DSLR, I can readily have images on the web the next day. So, starting with last Saturday, my project 365/2010 begins...

3 Towers [289]

The past couple of days have been really overcast and sometimes foggy in the morning. I've been meaning to capture such a morning by taking a photo of these three powerline towers that sit right in my backyard. It wasn't as foggy as I would like it to be so I did the high contrast b&w treatment with this photo.

Everyday Traffic [291]

Another day, another moment sitting in LA traffic. The Summer is gone and we're upon Fall so gloomy and grey skies lie ahead for us Angelinos.

The Rains Have Come [292]

Well the rains have finally come. Although not as heavy yet, Los Angeles is all wet. I used to get down and out when it rains and I never really liked it. The gloomy grey sky, the effect rain has on the way people drive and how that translate to even more shittier LA traffic. I don't mind the rain all that much anymore. I'm more inclined to find it beautiful and soothing. That is unless I'm out on the road...

I sat in my room and looking out of the window pondering how nice it would be go to out and shoot in the rain and properly testing out the weather proofing of my Canon 7D. The sight of lightning and the sound of thunder stopped me.

Favorite [293]

I became brave and ventured out into the rain today to pick up an Itoya portfolio album. I could've stayed local but I decdided to hit up my favorite camera store in Los Angeles...Samy's! Granted, Samy's is a bit more marked up and pricey, I just love this store and walking up and down the many floors and camera departments. I always come out feeling sad though because I can't afford the stuff I'd like to get my hands on there...

Zeta Takes A Break From Defending The World To Do Laundry [294]

Today was laundry day for me and such a chore is really tedious and boring. So I made the best of it by bringing my camera and my Kidrobot Fatcap series 2 Zeta figurine and took some shots!

$2 Shot In The Dark [295]

Today the Mega Millions lottery jackpot was $100 million. Hey, what's $2 at a chance of hitting it big? Unfortunately, I didn't win...

Printed Out [296]

I stopped by the lab to pick up a print that I'm selling. It's always nice to see your photos in a physical print. One thing to see it on a computer screen but when you see it physically as an actual print, the photo takes on a whole new character espeically once you get it framed. This is a cross processed image of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los Angeles.

I've also added some new works up for sale this week. It's been quite awhile since I've done so. Here are my latest offerings:
