Early in 2009, I decided to capture an image every calendar day for an entire year. 365 days later, I have more gray hair, have aged a decade and alienated loved ones, but I did it and, most importantly, I didn’t miss a single day. Comments and criticisms are welcomed, both on composition and technique, and on content. Thanks for looking.

"A" Is For Movie Prop (Day 82)

FYI. Figured I would work through the letters of the alphabet (in order of course) as a photo project within a photo project.

So, what do I mean by movie prop, you ask? Say “aye” if you both saw and truly enjoyed the movie Jumanji, starring Robin Williams (circa 1995). […cricket…cricket…]. Thought so, Robin has been in quite a few bad movies.

Anywho, one of Keene’s claims to fame is the fact that a portion of the movie was shot here. For those who remember the movie, Sir Williams’ father owned a shoe company; Parrish Shoes. The “A” above is part of a Parrish Shoes mural that was used in the movie and remains on a wall downtown.

For a full shot of the mural and the chance to relive a piece of classic film making (cough, cough), click <a href="http://www.nawset.com/gallery/7350034_Cbef6#500537054_SPfgY">here</a>.

I've seen almost everything Robin's been in and actually liked a few of the bad ones too - "One Hour Photo" comes to mind. Interesting idea to include the alphabet inside the daily project, as most folks set aside another gallery for it and then abandon it before reaching "J." ;) Thanks for the recent comments on some of my dailies. I'll be looking for yours in the list from here on out. You have a nice collection started.
