It Begins

I was ogling a friend’s new camera last night when I set my first New Year’s Resolution. I’m going to take a picture every day. I’ve always liked looking at other people’s photo-a-day projects, and I’m hoping to make something other people will enjoy seeing, too.

I’ve set a few rules for myself:

1. Each photo has to be at least a little thoughtful: no quick snapshots before bed.
2. No staging photos. If I want to go out to take pictures, fine, but no regular photo hunts or sessions for the daily shots.
3. Each photo should say something about the day it was taken–what I did, how I felt, etc.

I’ll use any camera I can for the pictures: either my iPhone, point-and-shoot Nikon or larger Sony.

So, here’s the Flickr album where I’ll post photos. I may not post one photo every day, but I’ll try to stay as current as possible.

And here is the first photo. It’s a set of party sunglasses in my building’s laundry room.
