Super gray, soggy, dreary Portland winter day today. In a small lull in the deluge, some red berries on a tree. A little color in an otherwise gray world.
Category: 2018 Daily Photo Project
In an effort to suck less at photography I’ve committed to posting a photo every single day in 2018. I got the flu on January 1, so I’m off to a smashing start!
January 10: MORNOTF!
This was inked on the fence around the perimeter of Holladay Park in Northeast Portland. No idea what it means. Any ideas?
January 9: Rook’s Barbershop Downtown
This is the downtown Rook’s location. It’s in the Medical Dental Building, which is this odd 10 story-ish building near the main library full of dentist offices. The dentist I’ve been seeing for the past 17 years is in this building. The Rook’s is fairly … Continue reading January 9: Rook’s Barbershop Downtown
January 8: Sidewalk Patch
Shooting outside in the rain. Too dark to shoot. Pushed ASA. Everything washed out. 40mm f/2.8. Only salvageable shot. I kind of like it.
January 7: Noel Frying Sri Lankan Treats
My friend Nancy arranged a dinner at her friend Noel’s home. Noel is from Sri Lanka, and he showed us how to make several incredible Sri Lankan dishes.

January 6: Mediterranean Stuffed Eggplant
In my normal wheelhouse today. Finally stepped out of the house post-influenza for the first time since Tuesday. I made Mediterranean stuffed eggplant with harissa chickpeas and lemon tahini dressing for the blog.
January 5: Home Sick Day 4

January 4: Dichroic Vase and Obsidian
This is the third full day with the flu. Still home. Still feeling terrible. Here’s a photo of my fireplace mantle with the Canon 5D Mk III with a 40MM f/2.8. Getting cabin fever. Not a lot to photograph in here. The dichroic glass vase … Continue reading January 4: Dichroic Vase and Obsidian
January 3: The Buddha
It’s the 3rd of January and I’m trapped inside, at home, with the flu. Really all I could do to get up and shoot this in the living room. This photo project, like the year, is proving to be be a challenge from the start. … Continue reading January 3: The Buddha
January 2: The Flu
Not a great start to 2018. I started feeling queasy on the afternoon of the 1st. I left work at noon on the 2nd and went straight to bed and slept for a good 15 hours. Not much to photograph but my sick self. This … Continue reading January 2: The Flu
