May 2004

I started this as a "One Shot a Day" gallery, but I have a difficult time narrowing it down to just one shot. I am changing the name of the gallery to "My Photo Journal". I will still add a shot daily, but I may add three or four, depending on what I came up with! I will also include substantial captions, as I intend this to be a peek into our lives, one day at a time.

All images are available as high quality prints, with or without mats/frames. If you wish to purchase a print, please contact me at jdanderson_prints@hotmail.com.

Here is a link to Jeanne Ricci's site where she has researched and assembled links to all the Photo a Day Project participants!

Aubrey Weaver (my little brother!) , Angela Johnson, Vixyswillie, Digicam Neophyte, Elizabeth Glass, Wes Kawachi, Franziska Lang, Steve Roden, Michael Bo Hansen, Karen Nichols, Pall Gudjonsson, Jeanne Ricci, Ann, David Mingay

I shot this image of a sculpture of Jesus and an angel in the Grace St Stephens Episcopal Church in Colorado Springs, CO in November of 2003.  The statue is gold, but I changed to a duotone and added the sky, cross, and text.

Space Command
I used to work there, but this is a command coin given to Tracy by one of her friends from Starbucks.

"Fun at the Game"

75
Sorry, another archive shot.  I had another really busy day today.  Work for 10 hours, then an hour to straighten up the house (with three young boys, straightening up the house is a never ending task), then dinner with Tracy's parents to talk about buying their house, then kids to bed, then I worked on our rental house remodel until 1:00am. We plan to sell our rental house, as well as our house, and buy Tracy's parents house they just moved out of.  Our lives are crazy right now...

Self Portrait - Freak Day
OK, I saw in someone else's gallery that Friday is self portrait day.  I shot this about a year ago, but thought I'd stick it in here.  The scary thing about this shot is that the only editing I did was to dodge the eyes...  Everything else is out of camera!  Am I really that creepy???

Who's Fault Is It?
I shot this from my front porch. This is the third wreck in six months near my house.  Some teenagers knocked down a 30 diameter Ash tree in my yard, then a motorcycle crashed in front of my house, and now this two car collision.  This is one of the reasons we are moving soon.  I don't want these freaks running over my kids...  Why is it that no one knows how to drive anymore?

Tulip, Archive Shot
I went to work at 5:00am, got home at 6:00pm, and now I'm going to teach Sunday School at 7:00, then back to work at about 9:00 for an hour or two to finish up some finance documents to fund my contractors for projects next week.   Crazy day, no time for photos...

Future Cadet?
This is Jonah sporting his Grandfather's 1930's era West Point honor guard sword.  If any of my boys wind up with the desire to serve, I would prefer that they go to the Air Force Academy, here in their hometown.  I was recruited by the Air Force Academy, but chose the Navy's nuclear power program instead and served on submarines...

"Sky Sox Stadium"
Colorado Springs, CO

I shot this at Garden of the Gods yesterday during my lunch break.  I did two different exposures, one for the sky and one for the foreground.  I only had two minutes to edit and upload, so I didn't do a very good job of combining the two images.  I'll go back and rework it when I have more time...
