I wrote the text below the line back in 2017, when people were apparently doing picture a day challenges, and then stuck with it for almost no time at all. I now think the record of my life will more likely be the 50K+ photos on my iPhone, but there’s still something I like about this idea, so the page is back and I’m going to relax. Don’t hit every day? Don’t care. I do this for my amusement and, for the moment, I am amused.

People do “picture a day” challenges all the time. They last a month, or a year, and are usually boring. Then I saw a story about a guy that took one picture every day for 18 years. Some of them were really good, but I was mostly impressed by the scope of it, and that, whatever his ongoing motive was, once they were all assembled they presented a compelling and curated record of his life, the people in it, and his eventual death. [http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com]

He took Polaroids, I have an iPhone with 30,000 pictures on it. So many pictures that most of them blur together and lose their context. So now I have this, with one a day.
