I'm a little embarrassed to admit that as the minute hand was drawing closer and closer to the end of the day (and is still racing towards midnight as I type!), that I initially said -"to hell with it! I'll start tomorrow". My next immediate thought was, "Oh hell - I'll just grab the iphone and snap a shot on my way up the stairs to bed". But as I passed my desk on the way, and saw my D7000 sitting there, all primed and ready to go (I"ve made it a priority to always have a fresh memory card and battery in place and camera out in grabbing distance for this challenge), I succumbed and grabbed it and after looking around for a few minutes (and of course making it harder than it needed to be....), I finally wandered purposefully into my youngest daughter's room, newly made hers alone just this evening as a couple of the older kids shuffled room ownership around. In the resulting relocation of her older sister, she lost the night light they had shared and in it's place, i had set up an old lava lamp and there it was glowing and bubbling and calling out to me to shoot it!
And of course, in true form - I took 75 photos of that lava lamp! All at different settings, from different angles, this is why nothing is ever simple for me - its a real handicap...BUT I DID manage to whittle it down very quickly and have chosen my photo for day 1.
Alright - I whittled it down very quickly to TWO for day 1. I'll have to work on this.
But the main thing to focus on here (no pun intended) is that I got my photo for the day in (with 6 minutes 2 spare no less!) and I'm ready for Day 2!
