365 Photos in 365 Days

I'm not a photographer, my camera is nothing special, and I'm not promising art, here. But the idea is to take one picture a day, every day, for a year. I hope to develop a better eye, get better at using my camera, and produce a day-by-day chronicle of 2010, my Year of Creating Dangerously.

The Palmer House Hotel
Chicago IL

The first time I rode up this escalator and saw this lobby, I was certain that the driver had dropped us off at the wrong hotel.

This angle's a bit much, even for me, but this jackass in the ballcap refused to get out of my shot.

Botero's "Woman" at the DCPA. My lens was all smeared and today's photos all turned out smudgy, but this photo doesn't seem to mind.

The Flag unfurls at Newark airport's Gate A17, from which United 93 departed on 11 September 2001.
When the original flag that was installed at the gate as a memorial became tattered by the weather, United refused to replace it on the grounds that they "couldn't afford" to, so a frequent passenger bought a new one. A proud moment for United employees everywhere.
