2009: A year in review
This should be interested! As per tradition, this is a recap of my first sentence of the first blog post for each month of the year:
January: After THREE Dyson canisters full, my house is clean again although I suspect we’ll be finding bits of confetti for years to come.
February: This weekend was Arbor Day.
March: I haven’t had my camera out since I quit P365!
April: Yesterday was fun and busy!
May: phobias. Specifically my tooth phobia which irrationally convinced me, two years ago, that two morals in my mouth were too far damaged to be saved. Had I been heavily medicated gotten over it at the time, I would have just had some fillings and not the root canal that became emergent last week.
June: My baby girl woke up feeling 75% better!
July: A few days ago, 2 of Tony’s 3 kids from Michigan flew in for the summer and we barely had time to catch up before we broke out into a high stakes game of Reality TV-style break neck challenges.
August: It seems like summer is just slipping by.
September: Yeah I’ve been absent. My life is such a total mess right now.
October: I can’t remember if I blogged about it here but a really generous friend of mine offered to lend me her camera for Tet Trung Thu and Teegan’s birthday so I’ll have it for the whole week.
November: I can’t believe my biggest baby turns 15 today.
December: You may have heard that it snowed here in Houston!
And on that note, I’ve settled on a NEW Project 365 theme. I think it will help me complete more of P365 than the piddly few weeks I did last year if I rely more heavily on themes and mini-challenges and motivations. So I think what I’ll do, to start, is break my project down into color themes by month. At the end of the year it should make an awesome rainbow-ish mosaic, right? I’m pretty excited about it.

One picture a day for a year theme.
I remember several years ago a photographer from Natl Geographic did this for a year and it was so neat.
He did one photo every day.
I tried this once and did not get beyond a few weeks, but still some of my favorite photos were from the one a day challenge. It gets you thinking every day- what could be the best shot of the day. Should I just carry my camera around and get an action shot as it happens, or should I make an effort to catch a sunset, some seasonal change, or something I always notice but never shot.
