Last night I was browsing a couple of photography forums and came across Project 365. Basically, you take a picture that represents something memorable about your day for an entire year. Someone suggested this as a good way to force yourself to improve your photography skills. If you’re taking at least one picture every day, you’ve got to improve by some measure.

I was planning on starting January 1st, but I’m not very patient. The shots taken for the rest of the year will be good practice. I will use the time to get comfortable with writing these posts. I may also be posting about other random stuff. Any new photo sets I like I’ll be sure to post here. I will also post the Bible verse or verses I happen to be reading and thinking about that day.

For today’s photo, I set up my camera with the timer to snap a shot while I was cutting a pine board for some trim-work in my house. My shop-apron (calling it that makes it sound manlier) makes the photo look like an ad for Grizzly. I am please with the exposure, but I wish I had used a slower shutter-speed. With everything frozen in time, there is no movement in the shot. It looks like I am just posing with a piece of wood pressed up against a stopped blade. With a little blur, you could have seen the spinning wheel of death, ready to turn a careless hand into hamburger, or fling a board through the air impaling an innocent passer-by.

Jude 1:10
10But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.
