OK, today I found out how serious I am about this threesixfive. I got on a plane to Miami this evening after being in an all day long meeting, brought my SLR on and stored it under the seat in front of me, and the proceeded to shoot (much to the annoyance of the guy sitting next to me) for 45 minutes watching the entire sunset process. Then, getting to my hotel and trying to get the internet to work and uploading my photos to my work computer (from a CF card mind you) and uploading to Flickr while trying to actually do what I came her for – work. So, this 365 really controls my life now, but I vow to stick through it till the end. I will be off commenting for a week though till I get back – just can’t do it all…
BTW – it was a horrible day weather-wise in Atlanta today, but once you get over the clouds, it was beautiful. And Miami is fabulous.

It was such a beautiful day out today that we decided to go out and enjoy it – and the nearest green space where we were was the Historic Decatur Cemetery. It is a relatively big one, nothing that special, took some cool shots but liked this one the best. Call it the circle of life, opposites, ignorance, innocence – or just call it a cute shot.

A parent’s job is to push their child forward. To stand in the shadows with the child in the spotlight. To serve as a role model. To inspire. To marvel at their own creation.

This is a weird elevator at my office. It is only wide enough for 1 person, goes direct from the 1st floor to the 5th floor, and changes from going down in the morning to up in the evening. It’s kinda freaky. But I always wanted to take a picture of it. Luckily I had to leave the office early today to get to an agency meeting and no one was around so I could set up the tripod and shoot it.

I came to this location hoping to use the toy I borrow from a friend – Singh-Ray Vari-ND Filter – hoping to grab a shot of the highway without any cars. It worked except I didn’t think about daytime running lights so I ended up not being able to get rid of the cars heading uptown. Next time I’ll make a longer exposure but I ended up keeping this shot only because I liked the reflection off the buildings.
