Photo Recall

So I was thinking the other day that I do not take enough pictures. I bought a very nice digital camera this past year to capture the memorable moments in my life, but yet I still don't use it that much. I am not sure why that is but it seems that no matter how much I say I want to take pictures, I forget to. I almost included it in my New Years Resolutions, but decided at the last second not to. Well, in a bit of revisionist history that would only be fitting in the US, I am going to pretend that, "I will take more pictures this year," was one of my resolutions. So there.

In the interest of making this not only a lofty goal, I want to do an experiment and challenge myself. Even though I think I do not take enough pictures, I have over a thousand photos saved on my computer. Each of them has a story (some more interesting and memorable than others). So my experiment is to not only attempt to take more pictures, but to post a photo a day, for an entire year (so from January 4th 2009 until January 4th 2010) along with a caption or story about it. If I miss a day here or there it won't be the end of the world, I will just make up for it the next day. They may be old photos, recent photos, or really old photos. Some will be more compelling than others, but like I said, each has a memory attached to it. I want to share this with you all, so please enjoy.

With that in mind I am going to select the first photo for this experiment.
