I talked recently about how shooting a Daily Photo for this blog has motivated me to carry a camera all the time. Well, after almost two hundred days of Daily Photos, I hit a small wall. Walking around the Haddonfield Fine Art and Crafts Festival on Saturday I just couldn't get away from feeling like I was working. Thankfully, I went down to the Jersey Shore that evening, and made my Daily Photo there. On the way home, driving through Haddonfield again after midnight the closed up tents in the middle of the street looked like a Civil War encampment. I went out later to photograph the scene but with the darkness and all the trees, I couldn't quite capture the the feel of being downtown and not in a state park somewhere with a bunch of reenactors.
But I wasn't ready to give up, so I returned after sunrise on Sunday, photographing early morning bikers and joggers. And then inspired by those photos - returned still again later in the day to re-photograph identical views.

I WISH I had a camera with me all the time make it feel like work! I've been Blackberried for 7 years now and hate it!
I've rarely been without a camera since a time in the late '80's when my ex-wife and I went to dinner at a friends apartment near King of Prussia. As we were eating, a fire truck went past the apartment. When the third one went past- we decided to investigate. Two buildings away, the entire roof was blazing- and I had left my gear in my car- which was back in Mayfair! I could have had some amazing shots that night.....
