Yesterday I gave myself a visual challenge: Shoot 20 or more unique, (and hopefully good), photos where I take pictures all the time, and do it in 100 minutes or less. (I had to be somewhere at 9 am!). This is similar to what I did every single day last year in pursuit of pictures for my latest book, "David Hume Kennerly On the iPhone." (It will be out in early October). I chose the Santa Monica Pier because it's close to where I live, is a fun place to shoot, and hanging out on the beach in Santa Monica is not exactly like being thrown in the briar patch! These pictures were all taken with my iPhone between 7:02 am and 8:42 am on September 2, 2014. I now call it, "Kennerly's 100-Minute Photo Workout!"
