I'm still plugging away at this project, I'm into the third year, and it seems to be all in black and white. I didn't plan it that way. It just sort of happened. i'm glad it did now though. I have just finished a Blurb book of all of my favorite B&W images of Ozzy. I guess I will have to do another one at some point. LOL! Anyway, I have two years, two blurb books finished. I don't know how long I will last with this third year, but I'm not going to sweat the small stuff.

It's the project that never ends. I'm on my third year and these are just the extras. Many of these are repetitive. Still, the project is one big body of work. It's a daily event of my dog Ozzy, the French Bulldog. He is a little over 2 1/2 years old. I've been photographing him daily since he was 5 months old. I have a few earlier shots, but not as part of the official project.

Starting a Third Year of 365 Days with Ozzy: Extra Pictures

2011-11-19T11:15:00.001-05:00

This is the start of the third year of taking one picture per day of my French Bulldog Ozzy. I don't know how long I will last as this is just an enormous venture. I've finished two whole years with many extra shots. Can I still keep this fresh or just keep it going for history's sake? I know of people who have done years of photographing one picture per day of their child or themselves. I don't know if I have it in me to do all of that. I just plug along. We shall see down the road if I'm done with this. I need a rest. LOL!

Finished Year Two! Yippee!

I finished the second year of a 365 project. (Beyond 365 Days with Ozzy). It's a total of 730 pictures! Of course I have so many extras that were just as awesome. I have now begun a third year of Ozzy, but I don't know how long I will honestly last. It's just a big, big task now. LOL! Anyway, I did another Blurb book and it came out so wonderfully. Next on the list is a book of the best photos, and then, a B&W book on Ozzy.

These are all extras from my "Beyond 365 Days with Ozzy" project. I like them all but can only use one per day for that specific project. As result, I have so many extras, which are wonderful, but not applicable. I will use them for another book or project one day.

I find it amusing that Ozzy has been sleeping in these odd positions since we moved from Connecticut to Arizona. Maybe it's the heat? (I do have the air conditioner on!) Oh well.

Beyond 365 Days with Ozzy

2011-07-08T23:53:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since I've updated this blog due to moving from Connecticut to Arizona. Now that Ozzy and I live in Arizona, I'm trying to find light other than bright sunlight. It's difficult.

If you were to scroll through the pages of this blog, you'd probably have a seizure due to the amount of pictures I have posted here on my dog Ozzy. I post them because I don't know how long a file will last. Will it last on my hard drives, on my other blogs? Can I take that chance? I've even printed two books on Ozzy's photos. The first one was on the 365 day project. The second one was on my favorite outtakes from that project. I figure if the internet crashes or my hard drive dies, I will have some physical copy of my digital Ozzy files. The reality is that in 2o years, this could all go "poof", be gone, not exist. My slides and negatives are still with me. I can't say that about these files. Will they be around in 20 years? I'd like them to outlive me. I don't know how significant this project or the art will be by then, but to me it's very important to preserve these photos, err, I mean files. What would you do with your digital media? I've saw Chase Jarvis' you tube video on how he saves to these HUGE servers, then another server in another location, and yet another bunch of hard drives. It's mind-boggling. If I were a pro, I'd be worried about the vast amount of file storage I'd need for these very large RAW data files. It adds up, and it can all disappear in a nanosecond. Scary, huh?
