The New Year begins. Happy New Year to you all! Wishing you and your family all prosperity in 2007.

Starting today, as I promised way back when, I will be posting one image a day. This will be a daily exercise to flex my visual muscles. This daily meditation isn't for awards or contests or even for deep navel gazing. I hope that it will guide me to express what I see in the world in new and interesting ways.

The pictures will simply follow these rules: 1) the images will be well exposed, 2) they will be well composed and 3) they can be of anything I fancy. The post will be less of which lens or camera or ISO I have used [though, I'll be a geek and mention it if you wish]. Those things matter, but not as much as the act of making images for oneself.

Your comments are always welcome. Feel free to critique the image(s) as well. In fact, among the most helpful critiques I receive through the year, I will choose a group of new friends [and that's what I really hope you will all become] to receive a TIFFINBOX t-shirt [among a sundry of gifts].

This year-long series will be called ‘Vision Quest'. If you are checking this site through an aggregator, set it to receive the image through the RSS feed. If you find it worthy, feel free to tag the post to your del.icio.us or digg account.

I'll post my first image in the evening.
