Why do I bother taking pictures of buildings that have undoubtedly been captured thousands of times by far more professional photographers?

Why, for the sake of [info]roll_of_28, of course. The point is to take one photo a day, to be posted to the community that day, just for the month of February. I've mentioned this to a couple of you beforehand, but now that it's on again, I hope to see some of you there.

I'm looking specifically at you folks, [info]radiosilents, [info]alsoname, and [info]thian_un.

I really do love your compositions, though. You can take a picture of something that's been photographed a million times and make it look brand new by how you frame it.

This is really pretty.

That is the challenge for me at least, to make those images look new, especially when I don't see them as new. I feel like I've reached a certain plateau with how I photograph things around here -- so hopefully this will jar my vision up a bit.

And I'm so glad you're doing it this year too. This is about the most I'll see of you (and your life) in months! ;) It's sad, how difficult it is to find time just to be social. The work, the pain, it never ends...

Oh pootie on you for being overworked. :P

It's okay, I actually MISS that.

re: photos, you don't post enough, really. I mean, even if they're just Bowdu, I enjoy seeing YOUR life, as yeah, it's how we connect these days. :)

Also, I'm going to get Bowdu a present for New Year (forgot to go back for it tonight, but will get it tomorrow) and am going to use it as a reason to actually see Bowdu, if not you, too. Since I hope he won't just like, drive over or something. He's smart, but I don't trust his attention span in the car. :P

:) I read your description of the group and thought, "Ooh, that sounds cool."

Thank you.

No, thank you for participating. I do like your photos and it'll be nice to see more.

It's a leap year, though! That's a whole extra picture!

Yes, yes... Each time I see it, I contest the name of the community in my head, too. =) It's been an annual tradition for [info]flanged and friends for a few years now, thus the name works for most years. I just started doing it last year. Found it quite difficult, but satisfying.

This looks like Palo Alto on a cloudy day to me!

We had sleets yesterday.
