No day like today!!!


Today, while wasting time at my temp job, surfing on the internet, I happened upon a link to photojojo.com, and caught a glimpse of project365. Simply put, a photo a day for 365 days. I started reading about it, and immediately, a light above my head popped on, and a thought that I NEED to do this. I've always loved taking pictures...but have never really had much time to sink into something that I don't fully comprehend. I'm also the worlds most impatient person, so reading an owners manual on a camera is also something I don't do...even if it takes 3 minutes. I'm an on-the-job learner, meaning...even after spending MANY years in college, I was never really a classroom type person. I need to learn things by doing them, and when I learn them, I excel. I've always been like this. (My college grades are proof of this, trust me.) So, I figure what better reason to learn how to use my new camera than this challenge to myself.


I find that I could not be at a better place in my life than I am right now. A newlywed (24 days to be exact) with a fancy new camera, who is currently between jobs (thank you economy), and sincerely in love with cataloging the moments of my life.


I will warn you...my new husband believes you'll see 365 pictures of our dog, Guinness. My plan here, is to prove him wrong. I'm not saying you WON'T see pictures of the pup, but you will not see 365. Promise.


With that, I thought I would get a small head start and post one of my favorite photos from 2009.
