I like my new 18-200 lens. This is it at 105mm, f 5.6, 1/10.

Jason taking a picture of me taking a picture of Jason. To avoide the cliche, we timed it so I captured his flash. It took 9 tries. Incidentally, Jason shoots with a Nikon D80.

It's me! It was about time for an artsy self-portrait. Anyone can add a comment now (without signing up).

Unaltered: I held up a toy kaleidoscope in front of the lens. That's my dad(s).

Christmas church

I played guitar for six masses today. My view was actually of Robert's back and the piano, but this view is way nicer.

This is my front door. For you photo dorks, I did not alter this shot one bit--straight off the D70s. Incidentally, this is the first appearance to the Photo-a-Day blog by my Nikon, with its new 18-200 lens!

I took this on the way to work, which happens to be the last day of work this year. Beautiful.

I went home a different way today and passed by this. (And I thought you had to take extravagant trips to come up with cool shots.)

This painter was working on the soon-to-be media center at my school just before sunset.

This is the new street light that I despise, located at Glendora Ave. and Colorado Ave. I'm sad. If you haven't been around here in a while, don't run this light.

As I was perusing the California Missions, I stopped by Grand Burger and took this shot waiting in the drive-thru for my zucchini.

Isabelle at our friend's Christmas party. I used Canon's cheesy, yet cool, color sampler tool. I hope I didn't spoil the mood with this gimmick. I kinda like it; time will tell.

If you go to my Flickr page, you can look at my map and see where this shot was taken.

I took this while waiting for the copier to finish. Macro, btw. Someday I'll photoshop it and make it nice. But for now, I'm gonna sleep.

This is the first official Photo-a-Day picture: photographed because I needed one for today. Turns out, this is good motivation. btw, these are guitar cases.

Thom.JPG, originally uploaded by billselak.

For the short story, just go to http://www.myspace.com/thomflowers . This mixer reminded me of good ol' Thom. Actually, I think his myspace is for friends only. Never mind, except... enjoy the picture.

Here is the first of many installments of my photoblog. Should that be one word?

Welcome

Welcome to Picture-a-Day. If I figure it out, I will post one picture every day.
