April is the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil Month, so I am apt to think of family and friends in my life, past and present, who have been affected by cancer. Last month, many of us were happy to receive good news from a friend at work about his son. I would encourage you to read his story here and donate towards their fund raising campaign through The Ride To Conquer Cancer.
Sun and rain. The two photos that did not make the cut this past week in my Project 365. The first is looking south to Mount Baker in the early morning off the communal balcony in our building. The second is the remnants of rain the night before on a fir tree.
Photo by Leanne. She inspired me to start my own Project 365.
The book is a uniquely durable object, one that can be fully enjoyed without being damaged. A book doesn't require fuel, food, or service; it isn't very messy and rarely makes noise. A book can be read over and over, then passed on to friends, or resold at a garage sale. A book will not crash or freeze and will still work when filled with sand. Even if it falls into the bath, it can be dried out, ironed if necessary, and then finished. Should the spine of a book crack so badly the pages fall out, one simply has to gather them before the wind blows them away and wrap with a rubber band.- Lewis Buzbee, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

I think I'm going to use Friday's to post pictures that did not make the cut in my Project 365. This past week I had a hard time choosing a picture from the Tegan & Sara concert we went to. I like the silouhette in this one, but it seemed a bit dark.
I happily bought my first digital SLR last week: a Nikon D3000 (10.2) with an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR Lens. And I am hoping to participate in Project 365, where I take a photo a day for three hundred and sixty-five days. You can view my 2010 gallery for Project 365 here.
I will use Fridays on my blog to highlight my favorite photo of the week or perhaps someone else's work that inspires me. Today I borrow a quote from my cousin's web page (Nathan Kho Photography):
When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
