One the screen is dailypic number one, taken 10/1/09, 3501 days ago, that is 500 weeks ago, nine years and seven months ago. Not sure if anyone was around from back when this started. A daily photo posted only on facebook from Ocrtober 1st to October 31st, 2009. That was the plan… now 3500 plus days in a row, emailed out to subscribers, put on facebook, twitter, linked in, MyFm 101.3, and soon to be (maybe), a (possible) Tim Rice Photo app. We are heading to ten years complete at the end of September. The short story of why I do this for those who might not know is, I stopped taking photos for a bit. I love photography, have since I was young, first real camera at 19 and I was off. Went to school for it, owned a One Hour Photo Lab, worked for Kodak, and then digital showed up and the world as we knew it changed. I was slow to adapt and stepped away for a few years. To force me to pick up again – this time as a digital photographer, the dailypic for that month of October was born. I never stopped, and here we are. I look forward to saying tens years completed come October 1. I am pretty sure it will live on after that, for now, small goals, I promise you at least 151 more photos, then we can discuss it again. Thanks for looking.
If by chance you are interested in my photography I am having a ‘talk’ of sorts as part of Medway’s Art Week festivities, tomorrow night, Friday, May 3rd, at the Thayer House in Medway. The topic: Travel Photography, the time 8-9pm. It is free, stop by if you can. I too am interested in what I might say, we can find out together.
