"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera." - 365 Project, Day 101

It seems interesting to me when someone says, I don't have anything to take a picture of (or something of similar meaning).  I've been self-convicted of this myself.  I find it funny because, well, simply roll your eyes around.  There are no doubt dozen of things you have seen in your periphery, any of which can be a picture.  They may not seem interesting, but in a cluster, they may say something about humanity, or simply look like an interesting clutter of colours.

There are, quite literally, gazillions of things to leer at every day, and I am a strong proponent of one saying that anything can look interesting, given the right angle.  Any of those dozen periphery-occupying objects could be a nice picture.  This, remember is only around you now.  Thinking of all that matter outside your home, down the street and into your neighbour's home reveals a whole new world of random objects that could be a nice photograph.  Not to mention the few other things on the other side of the street.  That's where it ends, though.

Today's pictures are very normal, but nice.  You see these things pretty much every day.

His note: Today, Pat drove for over 100 kms.  We went to Limoges and back.  A great evening for a drive.  Thanks Pat.

Her note: Dinner tonight.  Mmm...

Myself

This is what Ted Stevens would refer to as 'Internet'.

Tomorrow should be almost as interesting.  We'll see what it has in store for us.
