Day 009 – Playing by the rules

Posted by Edwin on 29 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

This was a late theme decision of “Playing by the rules”
The bobble head was a gift from Ken. Being a Phillies fan, when the bobble head’s bat broke, he gave Jose Reyes this non-regulation bat.
Since then it has graced my desk every day.

Day 008 – Travel

Posted by Edwin on 29 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

Today’s theme was travel. This one is little bit more like space travel, but hey whaddaya want from me!? I had all of these ideas, but it turned out to be a very busy day and here I am after midnight trying to sneak it in (forgive me?).
So here’s EJ’s whiteboard with all of the [...]

Day 007 – Sleep

Posted by Edwin on 27 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

Today’s theme was Doug’s choice: “Sleep”.
I really didn’t know what to do with this theme, but then as I was driving tonight I was deeply moved by the moon’s beauty in the night sky. This photograph is practically inspired by charcoal style art and has a slew of digital enhancements to bring out the [...]

Day 006 – In Memory of Lincoln

Posted by Edwin on 26 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

During the last few themes I plucked from a website that talks about this day in history. Today’s fairly impromtu theme was:
1865 – John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was surrounded and killed by federal troops near Bowling Green, Va.
So ideas of honoring Lincoln came to mind. Johnny suggested pennies, which made [...]

Day 005 – License Plates

Posted by Edwin on 26 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

I’m a bit late (about 31 minutes past the day 5), but I’m going to count it!
On April 25, 1901 New York became the first state to require automobile license plates.
For the tribute I went with a double theme: License Plates and NY. I still have both my NY License Plates from when I lived [...]

Day 004 – Television

Posted by Edwin on 24 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

In 1962 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal. So naturally, today’s theme for my 365 Day Photo challenge was: Television.
Only a few minor digital adjustments: cropping, a bit of white balancing, and some shadow enhancement.

Posted by Edwin on 23 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Photography

When I can, I’ll try to post about my photo endeavors during the challenge. Here’s Day 3’s photo (click to enlarge) with the description I put on Flickr:
Today was a very tough choice. I went with what I thought was the best photo, my first photo.
These are sheers from my colleague at work, who prunes her [...]

EJ gets cast… but not in a TV show…

Posted by Edwin on 23 Apr 2010 | Filed under: Life Stories

Ever heard of Nursemaid’s Elbow? If you’re not a parent or a physician, probably not. Even if you are a parent, it only occurs in some 15% of children typically ages 2-4.  In a nutshell, your radius (bone in the forearm) gets disjointed from the ligament that holds it to your elbow. You can see [...]
