About the Book
This year, I decided all of the images were to be made with a wide angle lens. This definitely, at times, proved to be a bit difficult. I also picked the month of February, which turned out to be colder than any recent years and, to top it off, I caught the flu. Both factors definitely added to the challenge.
Some days the weather or light was such that I never would have gone out, and a few times I actually ended up shooting indoors. Much of the time, I had only a vague concept as to what I would end up photographing.
Here are this year’s results. They are, once again, quite different from previous years. Some are quite interesting – and I intend to use the flu as my excuse for the “lesser” images. As in the past, the exercise was rewarding, frequently in ways that I did not expect. See what you think…

About the Creator
My interest in photography goes back many years, but I did not really start to work seriously in the darkroom until I went to college. Since then I worked primarily in 35 mm format, with occasional excursions into both medium and large format work. Although all of my current prints are "totally digital", they are straight photographs, with no “manipulation”. The same techniques utilized in the darkroom are now done on the computer, but with less noxious and poisonous fumes - along with the ability to dodge, burn and tone with even more finesse and precision. These are essentially black and white images, but I use a toning and tinting technique that provides an additional layer of subtlety. I also purposely chose not to revisit my older images. The digital process not only forced me to pursue a new method of producing prints, but it has made me go out and shoot new images, which has been really important to me.
