When someone is passionate about doing something; taking pictures, surfing, armchair quarterbacking, playing tennis, skydiving, working on cars, hacking, writing, or whatever, they want to improve their ability to do this thing that they're passionate about because of that passion that they have for it. They feel compelled to do it and as a result usually feel compelled to get better at doing it.
As far as I can tell, it's a human thing. We like to feel like we are good at something. What better thing to be good at than something you love doing already?
This is an experimental project. My goal is to post a single picture each day during 2007. My hopes are that it will force me to improve my photography skills and technique and to more actively notice and, on occasion, interact with the world around me.
The rules are simple, I have to have taken the picture on the day it was posted for. Generally, I will try to post a picture on the same day that I take it. But there will probably be times when that is not possible.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave me a comment.
For anyone who may be interested, prints are available. If interested, please contact me and let me know what sort of print you'd like (framed or not, what size you'd like, etc) and I will get back to you as soon as possible with a price and to iron out the details. I'm not yet looking to make a living off of my art so prices will mostly just be to cover my costs.

Why do you want to improve your photography skills? What is the purpose of taking a better picture?

What a wonderful answer...thank you for that.
Also, thank you for the laugh this morning. If you get a chance you must stop by my site again and see what happened. Have a great Friday, Scott!
