Annual Exams .....



... are important.  Whatever you need .... your physical, your mammogram, your Pap smear, your colonoscopy, your prostate exam, your skin cancer screening  .... whatever .... use this as a gentle reminder to make that call .... it may save your life.

Capture Your 365 Bloghop

Project 365 officially started for me on January 1, 2011. 
I did not start with a specific purpose of photographing a specific topic
or set out to focus on one aspect of my skills.
The desire to photograph more of my life was the goal. 
Three months into the project, the images serve many purposes ...




... capturing wins and losses 
(Matthew's win at his Pack's Pinewood Derby)... 



...photographing the times I will hold dear to my heart 
(helping Caroline learn being girly)... 



 ... documenting the extracurricular events
(the Daisy Scout meeting) ...



... recording images to trigger memories 
(a protest at the State Capitol)...

 
... documenting family traditions
(our annual enjoyment of paczki on Fat Tuesday) ...



... capturing private moments 
(special father-son time)...



... getting out to see events I would normally ignore especially in cold weather 
(the Super Moon) ...



... coming upon an interesting situation to photograph
(a stranger pulling his boat out of Lake Michigan after practicing for a rowing race - 
I missed the shot of rowing by seconds) ....



... just because I want to ...




... challenging my abilities 
(trying to capture motion of the carousel
with Caroline and Matthew) ...


... enjoying the surprises I never expected to come out of my camera 
when I photographed the image 
(a bowl painted at a Daisy Scout meeting).

 ... and never have I regretted my decision to have taken on this project,
not for one second!

Thanks for coming by!
