Getting Started!


Picture of the Day was a project I first worked on in 1991. I don't remember what inspired me, but I decided to take one picture a day for the entire year. That is in the day of old-fashioned cameras and taking film to the store to be developed. Each photo was mounted on a separate page in a two-volume photo album. After the year was over I had a detailed record of my year which included a summer in Alaska and studying in Spain. One of the best parts of the project was that my friends became involved and were always on the lookout for a great picture. The downside was that by the end of the year I couldn't stand taking pictures!
Well now, sixteen years later I'm taking on the project again. My mom and dad gave me a great new camera for Christmas. (Thanks, Mom and Dad!) The current technology of computers, blogs and digital cameras should make the process much easier. I'm interested to see the differences in my life from then and now. Some of the people in the pictures will be the same, but there are lots of new people in my life. What places will I visit this year? Where will I be at the end of the year?
Here goes...I know from experience that this is a long project. But I also know that I can make it!
