Inspired to showcase my work, I have decided to take on a project in which I post a photo I have taken every day for a year. If things go well I will continue beyond that. Start date: 3/1/2010

Currently I am using a Canon Rebel T2i. For bigger versions with better quality go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/tokyoshowdown/

Just a bird on the telephone lines. I really like the way the cables cross the frame and the blue of the sky.

Caught a family of raccoons while walking down the street this evening. The mother stood firm and was constantly watching me. Eventually they went under the porch. There were 5 young in all.

During the wedding I took a few photos in between takes. This was during the reception in which the DJ played dance music and used strobe lights. This girl danced all night and always had a smile, a great photo subject.

This origami ornament was given to me by a class of Japanese students in grade school during my visit to Japan. While I took a picture with them, I never got the memory with my camera.

Last Day of the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival and I decided to post this picture of 1 of 3 parrots. The trainer taught one of them to talk and perform tricks like hang upside down. I was amazed how many people didn't know these birds had a very long lifespan.

Another day at the Denton Jazz and Art Festival. One more day to go to get the best photos yet!

At night a building light cast this orange hue on the bike. I like the color of the plant coming through the spokes, so I took the picture.

In front of my apartment furniture likes to migrate to this dumpster. It is expected from a college town however, as students would rather part with their items then spend the energy to move the things.

On the street near my apartment there is a lot of artwork along the walls of the buildings. In a corner this shadow man was hiding, looking out from behind a tree as he watches people pass by.

Driving down Old Scenic Loop in Grey Forest, my fiance and I spotted this old run down shack tucked away in the forest barely visible from the road. Further investigation seemed to reveal it had once been a auto repair shop as a sign advertising its services lay nearby.

Deer came into the backyard this morning. I tried to get closer, but they sensed me and quickly moved on.

I like to imagine the bee had some interesting adventure on that flower and now knows it's time to move on.
