Day 4 - Shadows/ Picket Fence - 4th August 2011

Hello world 

It's Day 4 and I'm doing great – am soooo looking forward to the weekend.  With a Wicked 21^st and a game at Brookie (Yes I’m a Manly Fan)  – as long as this weather holds out it’s going to be brilliant fun.

I know it's super early days yet but (corny statement No 2) - already I'm opening my eyes to new things to capture and looking at the world I live in a different way.  I’m taking quite a few photos each day which is good, hope I can keep it up and I’m thinking I might start a Flickr pool for all the rejected photos! 

As it is finally a glorious sunny day here in Sydney town (please hurry up summer), I decided to re-instate my lunch time walks.  St Leonards is a bit of a hole, but the surrounding suburbs are beautiful.  I have a few regular streets that I walk around and today I thought I would go check out all the beautiful houses in Naremburn, wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for today but had my fingers crossed I would find something interesting.  So the thing I did discover is that this suburb is obsessed with Picket Fences, every second house has one – lots of different styles and always painted either white or blue.  I took a few close up shots of this fence and the shadows but I like this one best as I like how you can see all the way down the street.

As I write this, I’m sitting on the train going through the Hawkesbury and wishing I could capture all the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that I see on the long journey to and from work each day, maybe doing this project will finally give me the motivation to get up early one weekend morning and head out and about on a shoot.

So  if anyone is out there reading this, hope your having a great week also, I would love it if you could leave me a comment as even though this is more a personal record of my photo project, it would be nice to know people are reading about my adventures, I'm also happy for people to contribute to this journey - if you know of something or someone interesting that I can photograph then I'm up for the challenge.

Ciao - Donna xoxo
