Billie did this over at the Parts-n-Pieces' Project 365 blog and I really liked the idea, so I stole it.
I'm afraid my analysis will be less clear and insightful though. I have found it difficult to keep shooting, even when, or especially when, I'm not feeling inspired. I think it has helped me though. I am looking with photographer's eyes more often during the day and I like that a lot (and I promise I'll give them back eventually).
The thing is, I was never sure if this was going to be a photo journal of my daily meanderings, or a photo project to push myself to look for new pictures in familiar places. I think it's becoming both, even though I think it might be more rewarding if I focused on one or the other.
As for the photos themselves, it seems clear that I like patterns and graffiti. I'm trying to find new angles and perspectives, but many fall short. In particular, I'm disappointed in the candle shot. I really thought it would me more interesting. I'm a sucker for a cheap laugh and use food as comfort.
hmm... Maybe that should be my personal ad.
Thanks for hanging around. Here's hoping I'll keep my streak going all through February.

I love the graffiti shots. Lately it seems like the good artists around NYC have just stopped. Maybe it's too cold.
I also like your food shots. I've discovered that it actually takes a lot of talent to do that well--I thought it would be easy, but it's not at all!
I agree with Ianqui. Your food shots are terrific. I particularly like the jalapeno one. Very sharp.
