One/Day Project, Year 2: shoot-edit-upload one photo every day, always with the goal of improving my photography skills. Feedback is welcome and appreciated!
![Jonathan Wilson (jawsnap) > _11/03/09_ Self Spoons
This is a desperation shot that ended up taking a while - had to find a flashlight, position the spoons and switch to my compact to get the exposure right. The iPhone didn't cut it.
I made it half a work day today, but decided to take the rest of the day off to continue recovering. Hopefully I'll be back to 100% soon. I spent most of the time watching TV on Netflix.

I stayed home today - still recovering, so it's another desperation shot. This is some Benadryl that will hopefully make my nose stop running - it could use a break.

Desperation shot of our shower door. I'm still pretty sick today, so nothing too exciting. The background hexagons are the out-of-focus bathroom lights.

Happy Halloween!
I've gotten pretty sick today, so this is all I got. Dinner of champions.

![Jonathan Wilson (jawsnap) > _10/30/09_ Bushy
This is a closeup of a Glauca tree (Cunninghamia lanceolata). It's native to China. It has a neat spiral-y look to it. Interesting scientific name, too - perhaps someone named Lancelot Cunningham discovered it? Yeah... probably.
Edit: Thanks George! Looks like it was Dr. James Cunningham, back in 1702. The last part does sound like Lancelot, though, right?

![Jonathan Wilson (jawsnap) > _10/29/09_ Addresses
Took this shot of some weathered address numbers on my walk home. I liked the look and the peeling paint. I also find it odd how one of the sub-addresses is "A" and the other one is "1/2."

I liked the plant shadow on this fence that I walked by this afternoon. Not much else to say...

![Jonathan Wilson (jawsnap) > _10/27/09_ Windy
And just like that, Fall has arrived. I'm not sure why, but California is experiencing some unusually strong winds - the news says 50 mph gusts. Apparently a bay bridge cable snapped up North. Me? I've just had to deal with a lot of crap flying around, such as these leaves at the bus stop. Hopefully it will be less windy tomorrow.

![Jonathan Wilson (jawsnap) > _10/26/09_ Night Freeway
Today I flew back to LA at night and was treated to an amazingly clear view out the plane window. As we flew over Palm Springs, I could see Mexicali and San Diego quite clearly. The dark mountains looked like water, with the city lights coming up to its banks. I think this shot looks like a snake crawling into the city. Of course in reality it's a freeway that crosses some rugged hills, probably the 57 North of Brea (I'm facing South).
Even with f/1.4 and ISO 800 I had to use a really slow shutter speed, so this is one of the few photos that turned out relatively sharp. With the high ISO I had to remove a lot of noise spots, and I adjusted the exposure slightly.
