Week 1

For awhile I've been hearing about the 365 Photo Challenge. Basically, you challenge yourself to capture a moment in your life each day for the year. It encourages you to take photos of things you typically might not photograph. I started on January 1st and am hoping to stick with it.

January 1st, 2012- Nice new year surprise! About 11:30, the Kenosha Water Utility worker knocked on our door to tell us our water would be shut off in 15-30 minutes and it would be off for several hours. I didn't realize the water shut off was across the street and two houses down. I quick put on the telefoto lens and took a picture of the three workers shutting our water off.
