This picture reminds me of an old horror story or film. Its almost like some sort of monster should come from no where and land writhing on the windshield of the car. Or is that just me?
A requirement for the High School I am attending is by the 10th grade I complete a personal project. I decided to take a picture a day for a year to better my photography skills. To keep track of this experience I decided to blog about my photos and therefore my life.

Over the course of this year I have taken 9613 photos. If you add that to the 4298 that I took last year than you will find that I have take 13,911 photos. Now I don't know when I started taking pictures last year but I do know that I have been consistently taking picture from the beginning of this year. So if you divide 9613 photos by the 258 days that have passes this year you come up with about 37 photos a day. If this stays constant than by the end of this year I will have taken 13505 photos. Thats a lot of pictures!!!

A few days ago while walking to my zero block at 7:15, I noticed that the sun rose right behind my school. The class room is at the bottom of a big hill so the next day I brought my camera and set up my tripod at the top and started snapping pictures as the sun rose.

Day 121
I recently discovered that there is a "secret" road in my neighborhood. I discovered this little road by just getting out of the house. It is very peaceful and it is gorgeous with the sun setting behind it. It is amazing that these types of things exist when we don't know about them. This picture does not do it justice. That's for sure.

Day 119
This is my brother Sam. Times six. One of him is bad enough! To get correct exposure for all of the Sams in the photo I had to change shutter speed for each exposure. This made post processing a lot harder but it looks so good so I'm not complaining.
Contest standings:
1st Jeff - 30pts
2nd David - 25pts
3rd - Savannah - 20 pts
Keep commenting!!!

Day 117
Today I decided I had to get out of the house. The pictures there were way to repetitive and it needed to get better soon. Apparently, when you ride your bike around the neighborhood you find stuff like this to take pictures of. This little flower was in the middle of the lake. It was a really shallow section were the water was only a foot deep. The mud at the bottom was another 8 inches or so. To get this picture I had to trek out into the middle of this "swamp" and get and squat down to get a low angle. I like the results though. It was well worth it in my opinion.

Day 116
A couple days ago I mentioned a contest. The contest I mentioned is going to start today. First, the rules. The winner will be the person with the most points at the end of this month. You can accumulate points by either...
1. Posting a comment on the blog. (10 Points)
2. Referring a friend to the site. To get credit for this one, your friend has to comment on a picture saying you referred them to the site. (30 Points)
3. Suggesting a topic for a picture via a comment. (15 points)
Now...
Restrictions on these points. I am posting these restrictions so that someone one cant just comment a billion times on one picture and end up winning.
1. You can only get credit for two comments a day. These two comments include a topic suggestion. For example you could post a comment and a suggestion for a total of 25 points or two comments for 20.
2. The topic suggestions can not be bogus. They have to be an actual good idea. Do not tell me to go take a picture of water because you wont get points for a topic suggestion or a comment. Instead suggest I take a picture of water dripping from an umbrella.
3. The same thing goes for comments. If you say some thing like "Good picture!" or "Wow. That picture really blows" then you will not get credit for the comment. Be detailed about what you liked or didn't like in your comments.
4. I have veto power on all comments and topic suggestions. I can say that's a stupid comment that took no thought from the person that wrote it and completely deny you of all your glorious points.
5. Every day I will try to post the top three people in the competition and how many points they have that way you know how far you have to go to kick them from their podium!
I know that after reading all of this you are asking yourself, "This sounds like a ton of fun and all but whats in it for me?"
Well the answer to that question is an awesome, amazing 8x10 print of any of the photos on the blog! I will print what ever picture you want on professional quality photo paper and deliver it to you free of charge!!! So get a move on. You only have a month to accumulate points so the sooner you start the better off you are. If you have any questions leave a comment below. I am looking forward to seeing who ends up on top after this month.

Day 115
I have now officially felt the now familiar work load of IB home work. Its a lot. We have an AP world history class that is supposed to be taught over a whole school year but we have to do it in half that time. I'm not complaining but it has definitely become harder to post the picture of the day on the day.
