365libs

The photos are going public. Gulp.

My still-unfinished Library 365 project will be shown at the library’s fundraising event next Thursday. (The goal is to get to 365; I’m currently at 105, though next week will be so busy I suspect I’ll add several more photos.)

There’s something more than a little surreal about laying out your own photography for such a very public airing. I’m well aware that I’m not a pro-level photographer. I’m a decent amateur who knows her limitations, and I’m hoping someone will smack me if I ever show pretensions beyond my station.

I’m curious to see how people react to the shots.

I’m using the new camera to try out some image goodness. I’ve not really dusted off my journeyman-level photo skills in quite some time, but the new Nikon D80 begs for it. I decided to give myself a project, so I picked up the Library 365 challenge — 365 photos about libraries.

I at least remember a little of how to do this. My ‘eye’ was out of practice, but it’s slowly getting better. What a joy it is to finally have a digital camera that allows me to stop down on images. That’s going to be so much fun next week…
