A Post A Day

i am going to endeavor to post every day for a month.  the post may only be an image, a quote, a poem or a link to something i love, but i will try to post something every single day. 

i undertook this type of project several years ago with my photography.  i'm sure those of you who are photographers are familiar with the roll a day assignment ~ you shoot a roll of film every day for a given length of time.  i did it, successfully, for a month and learned a great deal about the way i see, about what my eye is subconsciously attracted to.  i also learned to push myself outside of my comfort zone in order to avoid creating repetitive images.  i learned discipline and dedication, forcing myself to shoot even when the weather was awful or i was tired or the hour was late.  i learned that one keeper image on a roll of film qualifies as a successful shoot.  and, i amassed a large number of new and exciting images.  this self-assignment also forced me to develop and print religiously in order to keep up with the work produced. 

i don't know if doing the same thing with the blog will be as beneficial, but i've decided to give it a try.  i think the hardest part may be coming up with post titles every day.  something tells me they may go by the wayside.

p.s. on days when i have no access to Lou's computer (the only computer we own that i can post pictures from) i will try to make up the missed day with an extra post, or an extra long post.  here goes nothing... or, fingers crossed, maybe something.
