Project 365

Last February I downloaded an app to my iPhone called Project 365. The idea is to take a photo a day and upload it to the app, one a day for a whole year. And while there was some cheating here and there, I managed to finish and just uploaded my 365th photo last weekend. The project is supposed to improve your photography skills as well as capture little everyday events in your life. I'm not so sure about the former and in fact I think the quality of my photos got progressively worse, But it is definitely fun to go back and look at how things have changed over the past 12 months. I seem to be focused a lot less on food and wine these days and a lot more on small puppies. Such maturity! Here are a few of my favorites...

Our monthly SF bus passes


A storefront in SF that I passed by on my way to work every day

I can't remember why we were having wine, but I do remember that it was during the day and that we were all giddy about it

Working on the nursery. The birds on the mobile are named Claude, Chilly Willy, Mariam, Sailor Jake, and Wally. No we don't have names picked out for the baby, yet, but at least the birds on the mobile are taken care of...
