1/365: Sunday, July 6, 2008.

As I mentioned earlier, I am worried that my work at Tiger Music will slow down my photography so I have started carrying my camera with me every day.

I'm really impressed with the work my buddy Tyler Ensrude has been doing on a similar challenge using film. He's been shooting a roll of 24 every week, and will do so for a year. The results are great.

Anyway, this particular day has already been mentioned briefly below: I took Sandi, Jeff and their kids to Differ Ariake for the Muay Thai championships on Sunday July 6th. It was my first time at a Muay Thai fight, despite repeated (thwarted) attempts in Thailand to get to some fights. It was exhilarating and we had a lot of fun. The blond guy in the photo above was FIERCE. I knew he'd win the moment he stepped into the ring. Tough, mean, scary, disciplined and hot. I took a lot of photos, I couldn't look away. In this shot, he had just punched the guy to the ground - I got a shot of the poor fella flying through the air but I preferred the look on blondie's face in this one. You can see the determination.

And so we begin the adventure of A PHOTO A DAY.
