Must be Winter

This is our deck, from the side door, on a snowy New Years' morn. And the very first of the year's trellis shots.

One side effect from a picture-a-day project is that almost every day you generate other photographs you might reasonably have posted instead. I'm planning to share those this year.

Before I went digital, I'd pick a film in early January and use it pretty much exclusively all year. Every three or four years that choice would be to shoot in black and white, because monochrome forces (permits) me to think about form and framing in ways that color doesn't encourage (YMMV, of course; this was my project).

Last year's original plan, therefore, was to shoot predominantly in monochrome all year. On January 1, I didn't know it was a 365 project. For the record, the monochrome intention worked out just fine.

Since I didn't yet know this was a daily-photo project, I didn't know I'd be taking Oreo's photo on the first of every month.
