I have wanted to tackle a 365 Project (366 in this case as it's a leap year) since my days at Ontario College of Art in the early 90's. But I knew myself well, and was certain it would end up incomplete like so many other projects in the past. I'm one of those people who always has more than a few projects on the go, and find myself jumping around between them like a madman afflicted with ADD. When I heard a small group of geocaching friends were going to attempt their own 365 Project, I decided that I would join in the fun, and that it might provide me the extra incentive to complete it. And besides, it will make an awesome photo album to look back on a single year in my life, day-by-day. And since painting has for my entire life, been my main focus creatively, the fact that this will be my first real photographic project with any sort of focus, is exciting, and should be a great learning experience.

Day 176: Decided to try a longer exposure then I usually do (5 minutes) down at the mouth of the Etobicoke Creek. Really need to learn how to use the custom functions on my camera to enable the long exposure noise reduction, and see how well it works.

Day 100: Stopped at a small woodlot at the Cawthra Estate in Mississauga, after work again. I had to check on a Munzee I hid that someone couldn’t find, and I placed another one while here. The shot here is of the historic home that gives this park it’s name.

Day 94: I had one of those days where I just never got a chance to go somewhere specific for my photo, and just kept my eyes open for something I found interesting during my day…..

Day 92: This photo is from the “Nine Dragon Wall” at the Chinese Centre in Mississauga. A  Dragon Wall is used as a barrier in a Monarch’s family garden. Only an Emperor may have nine dragons on the wall. This wall is the only Nine Dragon Wall outside of Asia.

Day 89: Stopped at Cawthra Estate, a park in Mississauga for a quick shot on my way home from work, and was pleased to see that areas of the woods were carpeted in these small flowers.
