Beverage of Choice {4/365}

Hope everyone enjoyed the Superbowl festivities last night!

I setup a quick shot of the Superbowl Beverage of Choice at our tiny little party for today’s entry in the 365 Project.

Enjoy!  Hope it makes you thirsty:)

Morning Exhilaration {3/365}

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.

~Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1891

Ode to Garlic {2/365}

“A nickel will get you on the subway, but garlic will get you a seat.”

- Old New York Yiddish Proverb

One of my passions is cooking.  I love to cook.  For me, the perfect way to unwind after a long day is to immerse oneself in the smells and sounds of garlic sizzling happily in a saute pan.

But garlic has much more to offer beyond it’s botanical properties; it’s thin papery husk offers many visual delights.

In keeping with the natural spirit of this wonderful herb, I kept my strobes in their cases and utilized window light to bring out garlic’s curio textures.

The Stalker {1/365}

Well, decided to finally dig in and start a 365 Project of my own.

The 365 Project was originally started by Taylor McKnight on January 1, 2004.  He decided to chronicle a year in his life through a picture-a-day project.  Not only would it serve as a way to remember a year, but also to help him understand what was important to him in his life.  Since then thousands of Project 365’s have sprung up.

My purpose in starting a 365 Project of my own runs along the same line as Taylor’s.  2009 was a really big year for me; not only on a professional level, but more so on a personal level.  I have so much to be grateful for.  At 33, I’ve come to realize that time will neither wait or slow down.

Time, as the ever-present stalker, reminds us each day we must be watchful and never to take any moment for granted.

Happy Birthday, Miss Tessa! {One Year}
