happy new year!!!!
yes, it’s the second day of 2009 and yes, i’m still wondering where the crap my flying car is! (they* promised that we’d have them by now.)
anyway, i know it’s been forever since i’ve updated my blog. these past few months have been crazy busy and i had some issues with my web program so i gave up until things slowed down a bit.
no worries though... i’ve still been taking pictures almost every day and i’ll be bringing things up to speed over the next week or so. (life through the end of September can be seen in pictures now!)
last year, as you probably already know, was the year of the “Daily Picture.” i enjoyed that a lot and (while many found it annoying) it forced me to document life more thoroughly. i’m going to continue that this year, though perhaps not quite as thoroughly. however, i saw something online a few months ago that gave me an idea for what i’d be doing in 2009.
basically, this guy took a picture of himself every day for a long time and put it together into a video slideshow. it was like one of those flipbooks, but instead of seeing him moving or whatever, you could watch his hair grow and whatnot. i thought that was pretty cool. this year, i’ll be taking a picture of me every day. i’ll probably just use Photobooth here on my Mac. i don’t know what i’ll do with it at the end of the year (video or photobook or whatever) but i think it would be cool to see how a person changes day-to-day over the course of a year. (i wish i’d done it last year when i lost all that weight!)
okay... so that’s that.
later i’ll post again and sorta bring you up to speed on what’s been going on in my life over the past few months.
peace!
