1/365: The very first one

Mommy & Nick

I'm doin' it. For 365 days in a row, I am going to attempt to post a photo a day. I take so many to begin with, I'm hoping this will challenge my photography skills and keep me thinking about different, interesting ways to take pictures.

I may put in a few words about where/when/under what settings the photo was taken, or where applicable, what I did in PhotoShop to modify the image afterward*. Most often? They'll probably be completely wordless.

Subject matter will change as I see fit. I may do a series of one type of photos for a week, I may change my mind after one day.

I thought the first day of October a great time to start this project - after all, I just helped my three-year-old learn how to use our point-and-shoot today. (I'll share his pictures in a post later this week.)

With any luck, he'll have his own 365 blog sometime soon!

*I don't often touch my photos at all, aside from cropping occassionally and adding my watermark. I don't say that to be all, "Hey, look at how freakin' great my photos are," but to point out that fixin' up and posting photos doesn't have to take a lot of time. I'd rather share imperfect photos than run out of time and share none at all.

Good luck! I originally started my photoblog with the intention of posting everyday for the citydailyphoto.com site but that didn't last long!! lol I keep thinking I'll try again sometime. Looking forward to what you come up with!

Should be fun! Plus you will be able to look back and say "Oh my God, what was I doing wearing that!" Or something like that. :)

I love the pic!

Wow...I know I could never keep that up. I'm bad enough for a month (though I am trying very very hard to post daily for Downs Awareness month).
