The new year started without a bang for me. I arrived home from work with 35 seconds left on the countdown, then caught the 10 minute long Burj Khalifa fireworks display on TV. But hey, I still had free drinks, no crowds, no traffic, no parking hassle, and I didn’t have to wait hours before getting home.
Moving on to a less sad subject, now the 366 project officially kicked off, and here’s my first photo which I called Office Furniture:
While fooling around on the center strip (taking multiple shots to later choose the best one), a crowd of 3 workers gathered behind me. By the puzzled look on their eyes I could read their thoughts: what the hell is he taking a picture of? I could have gone into the merits of the composition, colours, subjects, lines, title, etc.
But I chose not to.
Eight days in and I need to take stock of my 366 “workflow”. I’m spending (investing?) way too much time to take this daily picture. It has to be something that I take in stride, not take a couple of hours from start to finish – location, shoot, drive home, post-process, upload. I guess it’s a learning curve.
