On February 11, 2009, bored by the winter weather and in need of a creative project, I decided to challenge myself to take a photo every day for a year. I didn't, at first, plan on "going public" with my photos (this may be painfully obvious if you look at the earliest photos in this gallery), but once I joined the SmugMug Daily Photo Community and started receiving such great support from all the members here, I started working a little harder and taking the undertaking more seriously. Thus far, the project has been (mostly) a joy and a creative boon, although there are those days when I wake up wondering what on earth I'm going to photograph. Yet the great thing I've learned on this journey is that there's ALWAYS something, if I just look hard enough.
