2013 Year in Review

This year has been pretty busy... Here are some new things I tried in 2013.

365 Photos: For many people, the challenge is to actually take a picture every day of the year. For me, the challenge was to choose the best picture of the hundreds I take each day. What a wonderful exercise in restraint! Amazing how each picture evokes emotions from particular days and events, no matter how mundane I thought them to be at first.

Why Blog?

This has been a long time coming. I’ve been told I needed to make a blog, and I’ve wanted to for awhile. I’ve longed for a way share ideas, recipes, and project instructions in a more personal and widespread way than a Facebook photo album or Pinterest board.

I have definite extravert tendencies, and connecting with people is a high priority for me. I’m also big into chronicling. As in, I write down the things I do every day and take pictures like a maniac. A blog seems like a good place to keep track of things, where other people can enjoy them too.
