Counting Down

Well, the time is drawing near for me to start this thing, and considering I've sent out "The Email", I should take a couple minutes to fully flesh out exactly what it is I'm doing here.

My ultimate goal in all of this is to try to rekindle that itch I had for photography back in the beginning. I have come to realize, however, that this blog is not just for the photography, but also to share my life with you all. Some of you I know very well, and we talk on a regular basis, but I would wager for most of you that is not the case. It's so difficult to keep in touch with everyone in our lives. Hopefully this blog will be a way for you to see a small piece of my life, one day at a time.

This is not a gallery for my photography. That may be added at some point, but that is not what this is. This is a daily blog, dedicated to sharing bits and pieces of my everyday life with all of you. Interesting? Maybe not every day, but I think there will be interesting moments. Who can tell what the year will bring?

Finally, as much to myself as to you, don't expect perfection every day. As any photographer knows, you can take 300 photos in one session and get only one truly great photograph. I simply won't have time to take 300 photos a day. If I end up with 5 fantastic photographs at the year's end, I will consider that a success. A lot of the pictures I post may be mundane, abstract, even boring. But they will always be relevant. They will hopefully be a good representation of the day they were posted. Whether that photo represents an event, a feeling, or something else, it will be relevant to that day. I promise there won't be too many pictures of the cats....

Well, I hope this gives you an idea of what I'm trying to do here, and I hope it piques your interest. I may not be the best photographer or the best writer, but this blog will always be genuine, and sometimes that's enough.
