Survey

I am having fun with the new 365 project...which I've started calling
Have you had a look?

Scanning film takes FOREVER and at this rate, I'll be done scanning 30 years of film when I'm 101.

Here's my question.

I like the photoblog site, because it puts everything in calender  format.
I had no problem posting pics when I was doing my picture a day project cause most of the pics were random shots.

I'm feeling a little uncomfortable putting these more personal shots up there everyday tho because of stories like THIS , where a family ended up having their faces spread across a grocery store ad without them knowing it.

I've thought of moving the project over to this blog, but there will be other stuff that breaks up the "continuity" of the 365 project.
I don't want to "lock" the site down, cause I want you be able to see them without registering to  yet another site.

I don't like facebook, cause I like pictures on a black background. (I'm picky like that).

What say you all?
They are pictures of you and your kids. Do you fret over this as much as I do?
I guess if you put them online they are public.

Susie says I'm over thinking.
who me, overthink?

Any suggestions?

What does the survey say?

Flashback Friday...Memory Keeping.

The New Year.
Lots of buzz about resolutions and projects.
Several people asked if I was going to do the 365 project (take one photo everyday) again.
I contemplated it and am not against it, it's just that I have SO MANY pictures already and haven't done anything with them.
I am a memory hoarder.
I do not apologize for this. I am not ashamed.
I love being a Memory Keeper.
I like being able to match a face to a name. A picture to a dot on a map. An item to a word in the dictionary. Even better, if said item has a sentimental value attached to it. Each snapshot is a movie in my head. A paragraph in a book. A link to the past and gives hope and meaning to the future.
I have thousands of pictures from the days of film. Not to mention the photos from our family's archive, dating back to the 1800's. These need to be seen. To be shared. To be marveled upon and enjoyed.
So, I'm back with a 365 project.
It will be 365 scans to be (where able) paired with 365 digital shots.
The goal is to stir up the stories. So feel free to comment and share your memory.

Won't promise that they go up on a daily basis...but here's where they will be posted:
