ThreeSixtyFive: Capturing Everyday Moments Every Day
On January 1, 2013, I began #8: Take a photo every day for an entire year.
There are two basic reasons why I chose to include this rather extended task on my 101 in 1001 list. First, I know that the only way I'll become more comfortable with my digital SLR is by using it on a more regular basis. So I hope that this project will help me to become a better photog.
Second, I'm attracted to the idea of recording different moments of this year. Not that I think it's important for everyone or anyone else to see them, but because I think it's important for me to remember both the exciting and the seemingly mundane. This is bound to be a very big year for Jake and I. A lot will be changing, and with those big changes there is sure to be excitement, disappointment, joy, and pain. Those are the moments I'll be sure to remember for years to come.
But I also want to call my own attention to the days in between the highs and lows, to the moments that truly make our life "our life."
My plan is to take time every Sunday evening to pick seven photos from the week. I'll upload them here and to a web album, which is now accessible at the top of the page, for any of you who would like to peek in on this little project of mine.
Here are the pics from Week 1:

Dirty Mother
The other night I was feeling a bit tired of whiskey (whaaaa?????), so I decided to crack into the bartender's book and search for a new drink. Having no idea what I really wanted, I scanned the pages for drinks with the best monikers.
Ergo, I bring you the Dirty Mother:
1 1/2 ounces of Brandy
1 ounce of Kahlua
Pour the ingredients over ice in an old fashioned glass and stir.
(And if you prefer a Dirty White Mother, just add cream to fill the glass.)
I had a double (if you couldn't tell), and it was delicious. I hope you'll find yourself enjoying a Dirty Mother very soon!
