Day One Hundred

Tanq 10 on ice? Yes Please!

love it

bokeh!

Nikes!!!!

Cute that you're bringing your skateboard everywhere!

100/365. This is one hundred days

You "must" see the stunning detail

Today celebrates the 100th day of my 365 project. It's somewhat of a milestone for me, so I figured I would put in just a tad more effort (which of course involved the stubby. Considering I lugged ALL this stuff outside was more than a miracle.

Nevertheless, as much as I'd love to ramble, reminisce, and ponder about my personal journey through the 365... let's just say it's not over. Cheers to 265 more days!

nerds, techies, photographers, and the curious, read on...

pentax hammer (gary syrba) says:

This is incredibly good! The lighting, the bokeh, and deep rich colors really help you feel the mood of this. I can almost hear the blues playing. Great pose and set up too. My only nit to pick.... the choice of the Tanqueray bottle.... but what do you expect from a guy who is a Bombay drinker - LOL. ;-)

It's nice to see a photo on Explore's Front Page that deserves it as much as this.

Eric M Martin says:

I'm glad the leaves are gone so you can focus on other things ;)

This shot is amazing. I really can't fathom how you get all this stuff out there, set it up and take a razor sharp shot, all by yourself...or do you?

I guess the other miracle is that you don't get mugged, especially in this economy ;)
