Gerry Daniel > 2009 Daily Photos - but not every day photo
Gerry Daniel > On the way home, I stopped at "On A Shoestring" antique store. It is the kind of place that has built its own unique charm over the years. Before today, I had never photographed inside. The shop is on my way home from work, so I drive by the place at least 10 times every week (assuming I work a five day week). The owner was gracious and receptive to letting me wander about with my camera. The next time I go, I will take my tripod inside with me. I was trying to be less invasive today so my shots were hand held and the results were mixed. The lighting is very low in many places and I honestly don't care for flash photography as a general rule. With the tripod, I will be able to take the shots I want with the longer exposures and not have to worry about keeping the camera steady. Today's shot is of the cash register. The shop exudes warmth from a place long gone. It is somewhat like time travel to walk around in the house (the shop is in an old house). Tonight's song is by Fink (UK), titled "So Long" from the "Biscuits for Breakfast" album.

Gerry Daniel > There were other choices, but to be honest with you, some of the other choices were water lilies too. This one is a different color than the other ones that have already slipped into the June gallery. I don’t know, maybe I need to create a water lily gallery to house the growing evidence of my weakness for photographing them. They are both primitive and alien looking. I am thinking they spray the air with some kind of mind control spores that draws me over to their little pond. Sure, I’ve tried to resist them. It’s no use. Several of the other shots from today are over in the “2008 – 1st Six Months – Bonus Tracks and B-sides” gallery. Today’s iTunes song is by Iron & Wine. It is titled “Free Until They Cut Me Down” and is from the “Our Endless Numbered Days” album.
Gerry Daniel > You knew it would happen. It was lurking in the background, just waiting for a chance to break through. The water lilies have been quietly stalking my monthly gallery for days now. Photographs were made and readied for display. The water lilies are relentless, silently mocking the other flowers. They are ancient and have immense patience, making their first appearance in the June gallery only two days into the month. The water lilies look both primitive and alien, like they came from another planet. Today’s iTunes selection is from a band called State Radio, the song is “People to People” from the “Us Against the Crown” album. If you like a nice reggae beat from time to time, this is a great song and I like the lyrics too.
Gerry Daniel > It's Friday, the weekend has started, and the caption is back. We are expecting rain tonight, so hopefully more photos of wet stuff tomorrow. Today was mostly overcast but the light was nice. If you haven't been to the Bonus Tracks and B-sides - 2008 - 2nd Six Months gallery in a while, I have been throwing some extras in there. Today's photo is the first water lily I have shot in a while. It is a bit different in that the colors of the lily pads are changing like the other leaves. I don't know that I ever noticed that before. Today's song is by Brett Dennen, the title is "Can't Slow Down" from the "So Much More (Special Edition)" album. The song has a nice mellow vibe to it.
Gerry Daniel > I know, it’s another water lily shot. What can I tell you? They were just floating there and they were pretty. I needed a twist, a hook, something to help me slip it under the radar. On cue, the dragonflies appeared and I had the hook I needed. So here it is, a photo of a dragonfly that happens to be sitting on a very pretty water lily. Thanks again for being so supportive in this group. I appreciate all of you every day. Tonight’s iTunes selection is by Hem, the song is “Stupid Mouth Shut” from the “Rabbit Songs” album.
Gerry Daniel > We had a rainstorm this afternoon. I waited it out until it was only a drizzle then went out to shoot armed with my new waterproof cover for my camera and a rain poncho for me. I like shooting after a rain and it was nearing sunset. The light had a nice quality. I ended up with several shots I like and had a tough time choosing. I am not saying that I had great shots, I am just saying I had shots I liked, and your mileage may vary. It’s all subjective. So this was my choice. Hopefully it works for you too. If not, maybe another shot on another day will do it for you. This is kind of a ride along thing anyway, so just ride along and don’t mess with the music on the iPod or complain about the volume. Sometimes it needs to be a little loud for emphasis. Tonight’s iPod selection is from John Mayer on “The Village Sessions” album. This is a song I like a lot, “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room”. If you like John Mayer and don’t have “The Village Sessions” album, I highly recommend it, the arrangements are outstanding.
