The 365 Project, a daily photo for a year!

Reading, watching videos and talking about photography will only get one so far. The axiom is true, people improve primarily by doing. So, in an effort to refine my artistry I’ve decided to shoot and post at least one photo each day for a year commencing September 1, 2021. At year’s end hopefully there will be marked improvements in several aspects of my photography, especially: composition, light and subject. We’ll see. You be the judge and let me know what you observe in the comments section found under each month’s gallery.

Baseball calls August the “dog days of summer.” Why? Don’t ask me.

With warmer weather and reduced fear of Covid I feel free to roam about again. Also, baseball has settled its contract dispute to the delight of fans everywhere. Play Ball!

March

Spring arrives on March 20th! Major League Baseball is supposed to start its 162 game season on March 31st, but without a labor agreement it’s possible the season will never start this year.

November

Saints and sinners!

November starts with celebrating saints, those canonized and those who walk among us, and ends with giving thanks for all our blessings. Few months are as consequential on the calendar. November is marked with such things as Fall leaves and shorter days, and memorable days like elections, WW I Armistice Day, now Veterans Day in the U.S., the anniversary of President Kennedy’s assassination and this year the climate summit meeting in Glasgow.

October

The best month for baseball fans. Go Dodgers!
Update 10-23-21. While having the 2nd best record in baseball and getting past the Cardinals and Giants in the playoffs, the defending World Series champion Dodgers lost to the Braves in the NLCS and didn’t make it to the World Series. It looks like next season will bring many roster changes to the Boys in Blue.
