I set up this blog to share a picture a day for 365 days. My main drive was to force me to take photos daily to improve my overall output. I will be trying out new techniques, polishing up on my existing abilities, and sometimes just posting shots of my daily life.

Note this page is optimized for resolutions above 1280X1024. If you are looking at the site with a lower resolution some of the landscape orientation photos may be cut off. If you click on the photo itself it will take you to my Flickr site where you can view the photos at different sizes.

Jan 24 - Salvadore - Black and White

Jan 24 - Salvadore 2 - Black & White

A few years back my good friends Brian and Candice got me this Dia del los Muertos mariachi figure. I have since named him Salvadore. I thought I'd play around with different lighting, so I went into a dark room and used two candles for a main and side light. After converting it to black and white, I really liked the thin light "halo" around the side of his head and brim of his hat on the shadow side.

An alternate color pic from the set is on Flickr.

Stats:
Nikon D700
Nikkor 24-85
