1/52: Glass and Stones

Each year I make new resolutions on January 1, and each year I seem to break them by January 3. Eating better, sleeping better, reading more, getting in shape before ultimate season...all well-intentioned, all broken without much effort.

For the past couple years I've also resolved to take more photos, especially ones where Andres and Celia are not the main subjects. (They are actually making this easy on me, because they are both developing a slight aversion to the camera...I can no longer assume that when I take my camera out that they will want to sit still and be the subject. Ok, with Celia I can still assume that. Not her brother though.)

A lot of photo enthusiasts will shoot for one photo they like each day. That's 365 or 366 photos per year--which is a rate that I cannot hope to achieve. (Aside from the work it takes, I would get too stressed out by this self-imposed project...and would abandon it, ashen with self-loathing, after day 5.) So I'm going to try something a little less prolific, but perhaps still ambitious (for me), which is one good, interesting photo per week.

My only criteria is that the photo be taken sometime during the calendar week, Sunday to Saturday. No going 4 weeks without a good shot and then "cramming" over a weekend. That defeats the purpose.

With that as background, here is entry number 1: Glass and Stones, found at the office park at the top of Turner Street last weekend. (On Sunday, so it meets all the above criteria.)

This was right next to a parking lot, so no doubt this picture shows what used to be a car windshield. Poor luck for whoever had to call 1-800-54-GIANT, but perhaps some good luck for me.

Whew...week 1 all set. Now to stress about week 2.
