One down, eleven to go. I’m thinking January and February will be the toughest months because everything is so bleak and cold. I can’t wait for Spring.

At the start of the project, I thought, very simply that it would be interesting to try to find, photograph and publish a single unique image of something in or near Yardley each day for a solid year. The thing that I think I most underestimated is the effect this has had on my view of the world around me. I find I’m constantly looking for the best angle, composition and perspective for things in the view of my surroundings at any given moment. Perhaps this is a bit cliché, but it’s like seeing things through different eyes.

Initially, I thought I’d run into difficult times finding unique and interesting images as the year progressed. Now I’m finding quite the opposite. Frankly, I’m wondering how, with only one opportunity per day, I’m going to represent the massive number of uniquely beautiful possibilities that become available as the canvas is refreshed with each degree of change in the season. Locations I’ve been to even less than 2 weeks ago are renewed by the slight differences in temperature, foliage and weather. The Lake, for example that I photographed in January has taken on an entirely new look as we move into February; the trees, now even more bare handle light and shade in a different way.

Here’s a recap of the pictures from January in Yardley rendered a bit differently. I couldn’t figure out how to sort them by day – perhaps next month I’ll get that done.

Thank you for your interest.

Mike
