One (ok, maybe two) shot(s) every day. My first year of dailies has been amazing, albeit with some twists and turns. I started on a random day in March. I finished off at Dec. 31 just to make life easier. In this year shot my first wedding, my first set of senior portaits, dozens of bike races, several new buildings. I upgraded to full-frame with the D700, got laid off only to find another job within a week. And last but not least, baby Ashley came along in late november. The majority of the shots from November therefore are daily baby photos.
I did my best to shoot something interesting, and to share the how’s and why’s. Photoshop and Lightroom are awesome and my main tools for post processing.
Thanks for looking; thanks for all the comments.

2009 11-30 Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's shot! One thing that was mentioned was that there was no way she could look anything but calm and peaceful. Although still cute, she was anything but happy with her daddy for making her model...a trend for the future? Or just a stage?
Hopefully, I will have less and less of these...I got a couple more pointers from a news story I saw on Kelly Ryden and Tracy Raver (sisters out of Omaha). I need a couple more silly knit hats, and will being continuing to work on this series of my precious daughter's first weeks/months.
For post on this one I used SC again to emphasize that this was indeed the same child in the same outfit as yesterday. I played a bit with the blur filters until I got one that accentuated the feeling I was attempting here (are your ears ringing?). I did a selection of the face with a very soft edge prior to doing the blur filters.
