Day 1

It's overcast and windy today, and the light's not very good for outdoor shots, so I decided to kick things off with an indoor shot using natural light. Not having a tripod, I had to use a fast film speed to prevent motion blur, but I think the extra graininess suits the subject well. 

It was only when I was finishing up processing the image that I realised how appropriate the subject is for the first image in this, my year-long journey of photographic discovery -- he's Ganesha, the Hindu elephant god, remover of obstacles.
