Day 7 - Time To Reflect - 18 Dec 2010

Time to Reflect

I just realized when checking the date on this that it said 19 Dec and thought I might have missed the 18th. Turns out I never fell back on my camera clock, so I've been an hour in the future all this time. No wonder December seemed so rushed. I should have taken the time to notice this sooner.

The Odyssey Continues

"Every day there must be something worth seeing." That was what I was thinking on January 1, 2008 when I set out to take a good picture everyday for a year. A year later I had accomplished my goal and in the process had learned to see and notice things that might otherwise have gone overlooked.

It was an important lesson. It was also a lesson that once the year was over I gradually forgot. Soon spans of time would go by where I did not notice the things worth seeing. Sometimes days, sometimes weeks, sometimes longer. Without noticing these things I could not capture them. More and more, photography became something I used to do.

The time has come to reverse this trend. Three years after I first set off on this journey I am announcing that I am doing it again. I actually started the second wave on December 12, and now will start blogging the photos as the odyssey continues.

I know from experience that this will be a very challenging experience. I don't know how I will get through the next few months yet alone to December 11th. Somehow I must, even it means pictures of bottles and Legos, and the cat. These can all be worth seeing.

Away we go!

66 to Go

Day 300

66 To Go

I was really hoping to do something special to celebrate Day 300. Instead I reused an idea that I had already used three times before, on the first day of each season. It is not as easy as it seems to come up with 300 original ideas. Regardless, the streak is alive.

Half Way

Day 183

Half Way

Since this is the 183rd day of my photo-a-day odyssey, that means I have reached the half way point. I am surprised and pleased to have taken at least one decent shot every day so far this year. The reason I set out on this project was to get better at seeing and recording all those things and moments in my life and world that might otherwise go unnoticed and unremembered. I think I've done well enough with this goal so far, but I hope to keep getting better in the next 183 days.

New Name - Same Great Taste

You may have noticed that this blog is not called A Keeper Today today. From hence forth, the name is Roth 365. (Yes, I realize there are 366 days this year - just liked Roth 365 better)

The mission, however, remains the same. Each and every day I will take a picture worth sharing.

Tomorrow

Each and every day there are things in our lives that are worth noticing and worth remembering. Too often, these things are overlooked because our attention is focused elsewhere.

The purpose of this project is to help me get better at seeing these wonderful treasures, and at capturing images of them. To do this, I will take a picture each and every day, no matter what, no excuses. These pictures must meet a certain quality threshold set by me - thus the reason it is called A Keeper Today - and not just A Photo Today.

I hope you come along with me on this journey through 2008 - through my lens.
