Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: mail

Last January 31 started ugly--my day's first photo was of ice and slush on the drive--but later the sun came out and brightened things up enormously. Since I check my mail daily, post office box photographs are a daily temptation. I scratched that itch regularly over the course of the year, but never posted the resulting pix. This was my best effort, and could easily have been my January 31 daily. ========== Nothing much to say about the padlock photograph I actually posted. The light was great. I thought I might expand on the idea over the course of the year, but didn't follow through. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 8 (every one of 'em worthwhile--I have good days, and bad days) Title of " roll :" Post Office and Shed Other photos taken on 1/31/2012: none.

Hmmm. Not much to say about the 366 project today.... Some days you know exactly what photograph you want to take. You take that pic, and a few insurance shots, then post the original. Last January 10 was like that. Never left my front yard for this shoot, which consisted of just five photographs. Two of 'em tried to capture the morning sun on the neighbors' mailboxes; they're pretty much identical and are (disappointingly) much better in color than black & white. (The boxes showed up again, very differently , a few days later.) ========== The posted daily shot (it's below) captured the sheds and silos beyond the houses across the street, and was exactly the photo I intended. (There's a problem with that, as Windsor Di pointed out: Since I knew there was a small tree in the foreground, it didn't register as an undifferentiated blob when I looked. Expectations can blind folks to obvious problems. Should have moved and re-composed the shot.) ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
