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.

Art Underfoot (Day 80)
Pay attention to the manhole covers you walk over; some can be quite beautiful (...not that I am saying this one is necessarily).
Top five reasons why manhole covers are round:
(1) A round cover cannot fall through its opening, whereas another shape might.
(2) Circular covers do not need to be rotated to align them with an opening.
(3) Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section.
(4) A round manhole cover can be more easily moved by being rolled.
(5) Corners of another shape cover, if dislodged, could puncture a tire.
Now you have dinner conversation tonight. You're welcome.

!["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>.
