Shot out in front of my office while on lunch.

I am most certainly losing my mind. I have been doing photography for the past two years or so, but last week I bought a photography magazine just for the heck of it, just because it caught my eye while I was looking at car mags and trying to figure out which of those I’d like to do work for.

Then I’m on the web, looking up photography stuff, finding online communities that are sharing their stuff. Then I’m reading about this “One Picture a Day” project that some people have done, and it’s sounding cool.

Right. Sure. I totally need ONE MORE THING to add to my list of projects, and this “one more thing” has to be done every single day!

Anyway, here’s the first nail in my coffin. Pretty nail, isn’t it? I shot it yesterday at lunch. It was raining, and I wanted to take a picture, so I went out in the middle of a break in the drizzle (a break that conveniently occurred right on my lunch hour), and took this photo. Some day I’ll learn how to use Photoshop Elements and tell you long and boring stories about how I “adjusted the levels” or “worked on the saturation a bit.” For now you get, “I took this today.”
