Day 1029 - Roof Support - 03.16.14

This afternoon I stepped into my backyard and took this photo of one of the supports for the roof overhang over the back door.  I don't know what the word is for this.  I'm just calling it a roof support, but I'm sure there is a better word out there.  Anyway, this was something I saw today.

Day 1023 - Satellite Dish - 03.10.14

With the time change the sun is just coming up when I brought my daughter to school this morning.  We had to leave a little earlier today because she had to be early for a field trip.  Before getting in my car I saw the way the golden morning light was hitting this dish.  I thought it was pretty.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1021 - Pee Wee Close Up - 03.08.14

Today was a pretty good day.  My wife and I got a lot done.  In the afternoon we finished all of our errands and I had a few minutes to finish watch Swing Time the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie.  It is a pretty great movie.  A couple classic songs and a lot of great dancing.  After I finished with that I took this picture of our Pee Wee doll.  Yes he has been featured here before, but that is okay.  It is one of my favorite things on display in our house.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1020 - Lady Liberty at Work - 03.07.14

Day 1019 - Morning Rays - 03.06.14

I noticed these rays of light yesterday, but I didn't have my camera.  I was glad I could see them today as well.  It is interesting that the rays could only really be seen from this angle.  Walk a few steps to the left of the right and they are no longer discernible.  I also think it interesting how they were shining down on the cone as if it were special.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1018 - Parking Garage - 03.05.14

It was a long day at work today.  I left well after dark and was exhausted so when I got to my car I decided to look for a photo in the parking garage.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1017 - Pact Maker Pin - 03.04.14

Yesterday I got a package in the mail.  I was excited to find that it contained the first printing of Ava's Demon.  Along with the book was some artwork and this pin, which is a reference to the story.  Ava's Demon is a comic that a friend from work has made.  It started as a blog and then she did a Kickstarter campaign to publish the book.  Her campaign was very successful and now she is working on this comic full time.  The book looks gorgeous and I am excited to see her continue with the story and to follow her dream.  If you have any interest, do check it out.  Ava's Demon.  So this evening I set out the pin and took this photo.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1016 - Shoes and Boots - 03.03.14

I think shoes make great subjects.  They have lots of character like an old person's face.  I particularly liked my son's boots with the folds and the laces and the way they are sitting.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1015 - Sunrise - 03.02.14

I was up early this morning and caught the beautiful sunrise.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1014 - Stormy Day - 03.01.14

Today the rain really came.  So did my fever.  On top of the rain and the sickness I had to run errands today.  It made for an interesting day.  While being out in the rain while sick probably isn't great, the cool fresh air actually felt good because of my fever.  I snapped this photo of my street with the storm cloud between down pours.  It was something i saw today.

Day 1013 - Chair and Blanket - 02.28.14

I was home sick today like yesterday.  I was actually feeling worse.  So I never left the house, which in a way was okay because it was raining today.  Besides sleeping I watched a lot of TV in our front room.  So I snapped a photo of one of our chairs with a blanket over the back.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1012 - Bathroom Buddy - 02.27.14

After a full day at California Adventure yesterday, I was exhausted today.  I had what my wife and I like to call the Disneyland hangover.  At the end of the day I unloaded my camera bag which had this drawing of Daisy Duck that I drew yesterday at the park.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1008 - Moms - 02.23.14

Today I went to Disney California Adventure as a chaperone with my daughter's school choir.  They were great.  Shortly after the performance, after the kids were released to head out into the park on their own I snapped this photo of the moms.  All four checking their phones I thought really captured the moment and made me laugh.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1007 - Rose - 02.22.14

This afternoon I took a photo of my daughter and then as is quite obvious here, I played with it digitally for quite a while.  I played with it in a number of programs to get this final painted look for the background.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1006 - Barb - 02.21.14

This morning my wife was looking exceptionally pretty, all made up for pajama day at her school.  I just had to take her photo.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1001 - Nolan Porter - 02.16.14

This evening my wife and I went to Viva Cantina for this month's Messaround.  We saw four acts and each one was great.  The final performer of the evening was absolutely great. Nolan Porter brought the house down with his signature soul.  This is a shot of him looking pretty sweet.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1000 - The Dark Knight Returns Book One - 02.15.14

This afternoon I pulled another comic off the shelf.  This is the book that got me interested in comics back when I was in high school.  This is a third printing.  It was something I saw today.

Day 999 - The Middle Man - 02.14.14

I took this photo of our rake on our porch when I stepped out the door this morning.  It was something I saw today.

I snapped this photo of this basket at home just before leaving this morning.  It was something I saw today.

Day 996 - Hellboy Close Up - 02.11.12

This evening I put my Hellboy figure on top of a lamp.  That is how I got this under lighting.  I think cropped in real tight to get this framing and to get the grain of the photo.  I like the big shapes of this portrait.  This was something I saw today.
