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.

This is my interpretation of a subject originally shot by Tim Ahern, a wonderful photographer I know. This is a set of stairs at the local library. I fell in love with the lines and angles when I first saw his image.
Question: Is it ok to borrow a subject idea like this? While our images are quite different, I am still curious. Please advise.

on March 29, 2009This is wonderful, and I think it is just fine to borrow from artists and photographers you admire. I have shelves of photography books that I refer to for inspiration, and while I never try to flat-out copy anyone I do believe that you can learn from the masters--or from anyone whose vision you appreciate.

on February 14, 2009As long as you make an image that is uniquely yours and not just a carbon-copy, then 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'! Without having seen Mr. Ahern's shot, I can honestly say that you have taken a great shot here.
