What a difference a year makes
Well a bit over a year but let’s not split hairs shall we?
Year Two of the 365 Photo A Day project is, frankly, a bit of a challenge. I’m really struggling to get enthused about it and it’s feeling like such a chore at the moment that I’m thinking of giving up. Gasp. I’ve been 365ing since October 2008 and that’s a lot of photos.
One of my self-imposed rules for Year Two is that I am allowed to take photos of the same subjects as last year, but they have to be totally different. Today’s shot is narcissi in a jug by my kitchen window. I’m quite liking it. I even, gasp, ventured in to Photoshop to process it and round the corners. That’s today’s shot.
Rewind to January 2009 and here are the same kind of flowers, same place in my kitchen. I remember being quite pleased with that shot at the time. Today? Not so much. Not in focus, weird processing, bizarre light and a stupid crop that’s not even a ‘regular’ size. Frankly, it’s pretty ugly.
I wonder what next year’s narcissi shot will be? Will I still be 365ing in 2011? Please, no…..make it stop…make it go away [sobs silently, rocking, in a corner....]
