Project 365 - 1/365

Today officially marks the kick off to my Project 365 photo project which involves taking a picture each and every day for a whole year. Part motivation to use my camera and part art project. It will be tough to stay motivated but wish me luck!

Me and My Les Paul

Once again I am behind on my New Year's Resolutions but I do plan to kick of a Project 365 photo journal but now will start it on Sunday, January 15, 2012. To get into the mood I started playing with my light kit and a black sheet I nailed to the wall. This is my newest guitar to my collection, a 2008 Gibson '58 VOS (Vintage Old Stock) Les Paul.

New Years Resolution #1

As 2011 comes to and end I realize that I really did not see much live music this past year mostly due to living in the burbs away from all the clubs that host blues bands and second because I am too used to waking up early. Which means I tend to fall asleep before the 10:00 PM hour making it hard to stay up to see a live band. Hopefully 2012 will allow me to stay up later and also make a bigger effort to go see some live music.

My Lil' Gangsta

Here is another picture from the archives of my darling daughter from her first year of life. The chaos of all the toys around her and the look in her eyes telling me she has me wrapped around those beautiful eyes sums up this picture perfectly.

Signs

Lately I have been feeling as if there are much bigger things going on around us that most of us fail to recognize. With 2012 being just around the corner I feel as if our world is in for a spiritual awakening of some sort. Something major, yet something that I can't explain.
