Describe your blog: I force myself to take at least one image a day fro me! I must post at least on but no more than 5 photos a day - but I have a grace period to get them posted. The idea behind this was for a very long time I only took pix for clients and not so much for myself. This year being a leap year, gave me an idea to take a photo a day for 366 days. But the images had to be for me.

How did you begin blogging?  I was laid off from my corporate day job in 2007 and decided to do a 'The first day of the rest of my life' blog. It started in fits and starts - but now I'm putting something up about once a day.
