_DSC6406 Hey Everyone!  I know it's been a while since I've posted, but as all of you know, life gets in the way of things.  A lot has gone on since we last met.  My wife and I have taken a couple of trips in our new Little Guy Trailer and are getting better at using it and learning all of the ins and outs of it.  Well, now to my new personal project. 

You have heard of 365 day photo projects that have you take or post a photo every day for a year.  As simple as that seems, if you work 40 plus hours a week and commute another 15 on top of that, you really don't have time to plan, take, and process a photo a day.  I propose in my project to print a photo for every day of the year.  In other words, print at least 365 photos a year.  In my new year's resolutions I had to print more.  This project will certainly do this.  Now you don't have to print one every day, just 365 a year so you can print in batches.   _DSC6457

One of my most favorite things to do with family is to look at old photographs of years gone by.   When my parents were young and everything was in black and white, you would look at the photo and then turn it over to see what was written on the back.  In the digital age, we don't have many times where we bring out the shoe box and look at photos, and I'm afraid that in the future this act will be lost.  So I've come up with this project.  I may even go back a few years and print those as well.  I want my grandchildren to be able to tell their  children and show them the photos that I have taken and hold them in their hands.  

IMG_4152 This is not an artwork project.  It's more of a journalistic project.  The prints don't have to be large (they can be 4x6), and they don't have to be perfect prints.  They don't have to be artsy.  They can be plain snapshots of everyday things like your house, car, everyday stuff along with your artsy stuff.  Your family wants to see photos of family along with your fancy shots, so mix them up.  

​So go find some shoe boxes and start filling them up with memories for your family. _DSC6932
