I had an idea for a specific photo on January 11--of a deserted house on Dow Road, north of Little Venice. I took an eccentric route to the site, though, and collected a handful of farmyard shots on Strange Highway before I got to the abandoned place. I also took a pair of really odd photographs of my then-quite-new car.

These trees are near the Dow Road property, and caught my eye while I was shooting another photo.

"Your rules say 15 daily photographs. Why?" Experience. Three are too few; thirty are more than I usually need. When I used film, a typical twelve or twenty(-four) frame film roll would yield one or two photographs I liked, perhaps three absolute disasters, with the rest acceptable but unexceptional. Some days were (are) better than others, to be sure, for all sorts of reasons. The pattern holds true when I shoot digitally, except that on a typical day I shoot more pictures.

My rules were intended to keep the project simple. Restricting myself to relatively few photographs made it more likely I'd actually get out there with the camera. As you'll see, though, I treated this "rule" as a guideline. Many days I shot six or eight pix; on other days I'd shoot over 200. This depended on my mood, and the day's opportunity. The month's camera had some impact, too.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

January 11 was the day I finally realized that the 366 Snaps outtakes were worth preserving. So I created a folder and started stuffing it with photographs. At that point I wasn't sure what I'd do with them.

Number of project photos taken: 15
