365 photos


This is nothing new really, it's been done many times before. You can find numerous websites and blogs that have a "one photo a day" gallery. So why am I doing it? Well, it all comes down to the simplicity of having a camera within the iPhone. I don't have to carry my professional camera all the time and yet I can capture the things that are happening around me. It's a bit awkward sometimes to hold a camera in front of somebody but with people being so used to cell phones with cameras, I think they feel more at ease. They're not thinking if they're photogenic or not, they accept that it's just a quick snap. Some of the pictures though, will be taken with a Canon 400 D as well. Oh, and I've been wanting to have a visual diary for some time now.

Anyway, I'll try my best to keep this thing going on a tight schedule. I don't know if I can find interesting images every day. We'll just have to see what comes up. In the meantime, I have here a few head-start pictures. The starting date is the 19th of may, 2008.

Day 1 - May 19, 2008. This image was taken at the Wellington Airport. The logo is quite clever for you can see how they use the Tui's (a New Zealand native bird) tuft to simulate that it's wearing jewellery. Taken around 11 am.

Day 2. May 20, 2008. 7 am. View from my window. Spectacular!!

Day 3: May 24. 2:24 pm. Hanging out with the posse. It was a really slow day, it was cloudy and cold, just a regular Wellington winter day. We hung around town window shopping and having hot chocolates.

Day 4: May 25, 2008. 5:01 pm. Heading out to Te Aro Videoshop to get The Notorious Bettie Page video and The Black Dahlia. Good day to keep inside really. It's still gray and gloomy. Yet another example of fine art that abounds in the streets of Wellington, hahahaha.

Day 5: May 26, 2008. 8:51 am. Heading to work. Pedestrian sign. Similar to those posted sometime before.
