Day One – Photo a Day

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 Posted in Photo a Day | 2 Comments »

While walking today with Thomas Ryan of Thomas Ryan Design of Nashville, TN and Brian Dominey of Brian Dominey Design of Franklin, TN an object on the sidewalk caught my eye. Interestingly enough, Thomas was at the moment explaining the Painting A Day Project and the use of ordinary objects as subjects for these self-imposed painting assignments.

My mind immediately went to the idea of a Photo A Day. Why not challenge myself to simply shoot something, anything once a day regardless of what my schedule seemingly allows. The goal or agenda of such an assignment is to keep one engaged in their art.

You know the saying … “A writer writes.” This applies to any art or craft and goes well with my personal modus operandi these days.

Additionally, anyone that knows me can testify that I like found objects. I have stashes here and there to prove it. While this is only day one of my assignment I feel as though it may end up being somewhat of a documentary of what I’ve found over time.
