perfectly procrastinating peppers
Today I
purchased a pack of peppers at Pete's.
One rogue red chili was hidden in amongst the green.
I started to make a meal, but ended up making this picture instead.

one hundred and twenty six days
On January 1st of this year, I gave myself a task; a mission, if you will.
In trying to challenge myself creatively, I made a pact to take a photo a day. The subject and content doesn't matter. Even the quality doesn't really matter, as long as I have captured an image.
To this date, I have captured 126, and since this is the 126th day of 2013, I have managed to maintain the goal.
126 days, and I am already aware of the benefits of this project.
Even as a child, I saw everything in frames, as pictures, but it is even more so now.
My view changes angles, composition happens before my eyes. I feel more focused on what is around me.
But it also makes me complete a task, and these days, that is a task in itself.
When you see everything as a photograph, the next step is to find the next shot. I'm always looking. But more importantly, I'm always seeing. I'm seeing more.
It's also fun and interesting to go back from time to time, to the very first shot on New Year's Day, and follow the journey, day by day, for all one hundred and twenty six.
Some shots are funny, some quirky, some mundane.
Others are random, accidental, or taken with someone in mind.
But they all invoke a memory. They all return a piece of that day.
Sometimes I have something in mind, and sometimes, out of the clear blue, they are presented to me.
That was the story of today's shot.
While driving with friends through Grand Pre, in search of the Bay of Funday mud flats, I spotted these doors on the top of a hill.
It all felt a little Alice in Wonderland.
But I do love the shot.
