365

In 2009, my wife and I decided to attempt Project 365: one photograph per day for one year. My goal was to create a truly good photograph each day, though I fell short more often than I succeeded. However, in spite of many below average photographs, I am thankful to have forced myself to take far more photographs than I otherwise would have, including a few that make the whole project worthwhile. :)

[365.019] Mystery Plants
<i>Alameda, California — January 19, 2009</i>

Yes, these are plants. I have no idea what they are, but I liked their shape.

I had the day off, so I took a long walk around Alameda and found these plants at the end of Park Street near the drawbridge. It was a good excuse to play around with the 50mm. :D

This photograph was taken at f/1.4 to throw the background out of focus, highlighting the similar shapes of each plant.
