I need your help, Members of the Commentariat.
I'm going to enter the DCist Exposed contest, but I can't decide which three photos to enter. I have them narrowed down to a few in this set, but I'm being indecisive (surprise).
Your comments are always welcome - please and thank you!
January 4
A good answer to get those annoying blocks out of the way.
Glad we got to see it before it closed...

January 2 & 3
This isn't going to be as easy as I thought.
I had planned to take a year's worth of pictures, starting New Year's Day. On January 2, I wound up getting home from work and just doing my typical evening thing. Unfortunately, one of those things tends to be drifting to sleep in front of the TV, so before I knew it, the day was gone - and photoless.
That led to a weird rush to catch up January 3. My Dear Husband was also home (rare for Saturday), and that led to a division of my attention. I kept looking for things to snap while we were out running errands, but I just couldn't see any shots like I usually do.Another photoless day.
Surprisingly, screwing this up has shown me a couple of things:
1. If you fall off the wagon, get up, dust off, and get back on.
2. Don't try and force things if you've gotten behind. You'll just block yourself.
3. When a block or obstacle presents itself, acknowledge it. Ignoring it won't make it go away.
4. Planning helps. Try scheduling practice time.
My next day starts at 0730, January 4. That's when I'll be jumping back on this project.

The Loaner Camera - part 3
Before I packed the D60 to take it back, I did a quick run around Brookside Gardens. The area's first hard freeze was a couple of days before, and I got some nice images as a result.
Definitely worth it, to say I have at least used a DSLR.
Now - how to get one I can keep...

The Loaner Camera - part 2
I took the camera with me on a visit to my relatives in Upstate New York. My sister took me on a nice tour of downtown Rochester, and I got to see my aunt & uncle too. It was great seeing them and my nephews and cousins.
It's good to take advantage of those opportunities when you can, because you never know when they'll come again. Hopefully, in the spring, gas will still be affordable and I can go up again.
