A year ago when I started shooting a Daily Photo for this blog, photographer Eric Mencher gave me some advice as we talked about the idea.
"You can always go for a closeup," was one of the hints he offered for those times I might feel I couldn't find anything to photograph. A look back on my year in pictures reveals I took his advice more than once.
That wasn't exactly the case today though. The freezing morning rain left such a delicate layer of ice on everything this first day of winter, closeups were the best way to capture it.
