Thanks for the geometric theme Sepiana. I found some angles in a stairwell.

Fun stuff so far ... thanks for the freewheeling theme Sepiana! Since it's 2016, I figured I'd suck up to the new year and choose "16" as my theme. And then I realized I had no idea how to represent it. I could arrange 16 things and take the photo ... but that idea sounded boring, even by my standards. My office is across the street from a high school, so I could have pretty easily found a 16 year-old for a photo, but my healthy respect for our prison system made me think better of that idea. And then this morning it happened. ;-) Shot with my new Fuji X100T, this is straight out of the camera (minus a little vignette and the watermark.) I'm quickly falling in love with my new camera.

Just a fwiw ... I've been doing these since the 2008 challenge, and completed all of them up until 2014 and 2015. Frankly I think there is a ton of value in them. The recommendations at the link Simone shared are really valuable and worth (re)visiting. I drew up a list made up from the lists from previous years, and adding/subtracting some things. My goal for the challenge this year is to spend less time looking for a photo that will fit into a theme and more time thinking about and composing shots of everyday photo opportunities. My journey ... however successful ... can be followed on Smugmug. regularman.smugmug.com/Photography/366-in-2016/ Stop in and say hi! Bill

Thanks Sepiana ... this one is easy for me. I bought myself a Fuji x100t last week. And I'm not the last one to post ... that's also new!!

Thanks for the theme Sepiana! I took awhile, but I found something older than me.

Thanks for the comments Sepiana .. they are always appreciated. Here's one more for the theme; this time in a more traditional sense.

Thanks for the ideas and the links Janice and Sepiana.
It looks like I'll have plenty of good ideas to choose from!

I guess it's 366 really. ;-)
I need to get back into my photo-a-day routine ... it's such a good tool for me to keep my eye out for shots and find creative ways to photograph the items I usually just take for granted.
I'm making my own list of easy to find, everyday types of items, and have our former lists to give me ideas, but I'm also looking to see what else is out there. I'm not sure I'll join another organized group, but if you know of something, please keep me mind. Thanks!

They are expensive aren't they. I generally keep an eye open in hobby stores that carry model railroad supplies. Sometimes you can find "little" treasures on ebay ... start the search with model railroad figures.
Good luck! I hope to see your photos!

Interesting note about battery life. I hadn't thought about it that way. Thanks!

Thanks for that link Simone ... those are fantastic! I still love shooting the miniatures, it's just a matter of finding time. Sports photography has pretty much taken over! Here's the link to the Little People gallery. The whales shot is from last week, so it's not something I've given up on. ;-) www.regularmanphotography.com/Photography/The-little-people/

Good thinking Phil! I'll leave the controversial red cup aside and just go with a suddenly very red Starbucks. Thanks for the theme Sepiana ... I'm not going to be last this week! Bill

Always late to a party it seems ... nice shots everyone. D is for delayed I guess. ;-) D is for Deluge, Downpour and in the case of all these vehicles ... Driving rain. Today was Portland's rainiest day ... ever. Eek. Bill
