Day 31/365 - What do you see in this vase design?

I have made it a full month snapping a photo a day. Just 11 more to go to finish this project! No story behind this one and no corny jokes. Instead I want you to tell me what you see in this design.

Day 30/365 - Let The Cat Out of The Box?

I have heard of the phrase "Don't let the cat out of the bag", but does this apply to boxes as well? Our cat loves to fit itself in boxes of all shapes. I once saw her in a shoe box. Maybe she was a contortionist in a past life.

Day 25/365 - More Snow

New England weather can be a real pain. But the beauty it can bring is something to be photographed. Can you say mixed signals? This is a photograph of trees right outside my house. Send me any outdoor photo's you took of wintry scenes!

Day 24/365 - Daddy Through His Daughter's Eyes

Don't you wonder what you look like through your child's eye? When I was taking this picture of my daughters eye, I tried to imagine what she sees. After I took the picture I figured it out. She saw a giant pointing this camera at her eye. I hope you all enjoy this photo. Please let me know what you think.

DISCLAIMER: No flash was used during this photo shoot and no children were harmed in the process.

Day 23/365 - Let Me Out!

This funny character was sitting on top of my old 20 inch Sony computer CRT monitor a few years ago. Since I switched to an LCD I had to take it off because it wouldn't fit. It always made me laugh a little while I was on the computer. I hope it makes you laugh as well!

Day 20/365 - Our Dog Bindy

We rescued Bindy last year and gave her a great home. So I thought it is only appropriate to share this with everyone! She was used for breeding and left in the country to fend for herself. Who does this? What kind of sick twisted individual would neglect an animal like that? We found her through  petfinder.com. I had them on the  Techwithmike.com. you can find the show at  www.techwithmike.com/index.php/2009/show-52-petfin...inder if you are interested in what they do. I believe I had them on prior to finding Bindy.

Day 19/365 - Bowl of Fruit, how exciting!

Yes, this photo is a cliché, but I had to take one. I know it's not much, but it did take some time to get the right show. Let me know what you think.

Day 15/365 - They're Not Just Coasters Anymore

Remember those annoying AOL CD's you got in the mail years ago. If for some reason you still have these, here is a cool use for them other than coasters.

Day 14/365 - Circle of Squinkies

By the title of this post, you may be thinking "Mike has lost his mind", but if you have young kids, Squinkies are toys. I got home from work today and my daughter Jenna, almost 5 years old had this scene all set up. Of course my wife lit the candle, but Jenna set it all up. I think I actually inspired a 5 year old. What a great feeling that is!

Day 13/365 - Candlelight

I wanted to show a single flame and not the actual candle. I was able to darken everything but the flame. I need to practice more with flame photography. Let me know what you think. If you have suggestions on how to take better flame photo's, please let me know.

Day 12/365 (Photo a Day) - Icicles

We got tons and tons of snow today, so it only made sense to take a photo of something to do with it. Icicles from my roof looked pretty cool!

Day 11/365 (Photo a Day) - Lego Melting Pot

This one isn't as artsy as some of my previous photos. Look at all my son's Lego mini-figures. I thought I put them together to symbolize something. Can you guess what it is? The title of this post is a big hint!

Day 10/365 (Photo a Day) - Guitar Daze

Even though I haven't picked it up lately, I've been playing guitar most of my life. Those that know me from ages ago remember my hair band days. If you really want to see pictures of that, you can easily find them on the internet.

Day 9/365 (Photo a Day) - Colorful Gumballs

Here is a colorful arrangement that I thought looked pretty cool. I put a bunch of gumballs into a vase and shot down into it creating a cool effect around the gumballs. Let me know what you think.

Day 7/365 (Photo a Day) - From Me To You

It's been a full week and I have taken a photo everyday. If you are doing something you love, it doesn't seem like work. Believe it or not, I actually used my green-screen for this photo. So for all of you that have sent in your comments, emailed me, or even called me to comment, today's photo says it all. From me to you!

Day 6/365 (Photo a Day)

Have you ever really looked at US currency closely. Go to  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_one_hundred-do..._bill to find out more information about the $100.00 bill and other denominations.

Make note of the serial number. If you happen to ever see this $100.00 bill, contact me. It would be cool to see where it goes!

And yes, it's legal to take pictures of currency. It really depends on your intent! ;)

Day 4/365 (Photo a Day) - When Two Equals One

My wife bought this today. So when my sarcastic self said "What is that?", she said it is us. So I immediately knew what to take for the next picture. So far these ideas have been delivered to me. Let me know what you think.

Day 2 of 365. So far I was able to do this two days in a row! So far I have only used my iPhone for the pictures. Soon I will start mixing it up with my dslr and my point and shoot. Let me know what you think, or if you have suggestions on how I can make a picture better, I'm all for comments!

Post from mike at CHUM.LY

I have decided to do my own Project 365. What I will be doing is taking one picture with one of my cameras every day for 1 full year. I will be posting those pictures here for all to enjoy and comment on.


This project will allow me to document each day of my life with a single picture. These picture may have story to them, they may be a funny picture or a scene I make up or they may just be a picture of something completely normal.

For more information about this type of project, visit  365project.org.
