Here is the second collection of images from the Photo A Day in January challenge.
A reminder of what this looks like:
Day 11 – Outdoors
Day 12 – Something I Wore
I wore these for a friend’s wedding almost 20 years ago. They have held up really well. Still wear them from time to time.
Day 13 – Three of a Kind
Tiny beanbag chickens
Day 14 – Close-Up
Day 15 – Mail
Day 16 – Chair
Day 17 – Faceless
Day 18 – White
Day 19 – In the Hand
Day 20 – Patterns
I came across a Photo A Day challenge. Better still, it gave each day a focus.
It is something different for this writer to attempt, another creative task to help get the mind thinking.
Let it be well and truly known that I am not a photographer; I am only using the camera on my phone. If the image is edited it is for black and white or cropping, with minimal colour correction/enhancement. No other filters were used.
Here is the list:
And here is the first third. There is still time to join in.
Day 1 Black and White
My girls, aged 8 and 10.
Day 2 What I Did Today
Celebrating a friend’s 40th birthday (that’s him in the middle, me on the left and my best mate on the right).
Day 3 Water
Day 4 Circle
Taking an obscure idea for this one.
Day 5 Leaves
I’m a writer so the first thing I think of when it comes to leaves is the pages of a book.
Day 6 Something Blue
Rediscovering my Lego collection.
Day 7 Reading
Many years of Modern Drummer magazine (not seen is all my Phantom comics)
Day 8 Landscape
The backyard is a landscape.
Day 9 Shoes
I love my Converse.
Day 10 – Lucky
Another tangential idea for this one. Three symbols I wear around my neck: the Trinity (my faith), drumsticks (my passion – other than writing), butterfly (my daughters).
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.
