Picture a Day 2012
Jan. 5th, 2012 04:45 pmWhen I hinted near the end of last year that I was thinking of undertaking another Picture a Day project for 2012, I got a surprising amount of positive feedback. In fact I was so surprised by the amount of interest that I have decided to give it a go, but with a few changes.
First, I will not be signing up for a community effort like I did last time. On the negative side, that may keep me a little less disciplined about sticking with the project. On the other hand this will remove the stress on those days when I didn't have time, or opportunity to get a decent picture. My goal is going to be to post a picture every day, but not necessarily take a picture every day. Of course I will try to do both, but I won't feel quite so guilty about taking 2-3 on one day and back-filling, or using one that I took earlier if I don't get a chance to snag a picture on a particular day.
Another change this time around is that I won't be using the same camera for every shot. I picked up a little pocket-sized Powershot camera yesterday that will probably be my workhorse for this until I get around to sending my other camera in for cleaning.
Without further ado, here is the first picture of the year (shot today, but back-dated for the 1st).
I think I have mentioned this coffee place in previous posts, if not here then certainly on Twitter and Facebook. Parlour Coffee is a coffee "boutique" (for lack of a better word) that opened late last summer. They specialize in fresh-roasted, slow-drip style coffees along with the usual assortment of espresso-based coffees. If I could call one thing their signature product, it would be their Chemex coffees. If you ever find a place that serves coffee in this style, do yourself a favour and give it a try. I usually drink my coffee with cream, or cream and sugar, but I just wouldn't feel right upsetting the flavour of this coffee by adding anything to it.
