To Begin At The Beginning...

Hello internet!

This is just a quick explanatory post on the whole existence of this blog. Not quite a FAQ, because frankly, I doubt there'll ever be a need for one of those, but a little bit of text about the whys and wherefores.

Ok, so this is the deal: I'm not a terribly good photographer in the traditional sense of the word. I don't really know how to frame a shot, I don't have a decent camera, I no nothing about lighting or angles or anything like that. I've been photographed myself enough times to have an idea what a good photographer looks like and is capable of producing :)

This is just my way of documenting a year of my life with lasting visual memories. I've written a diary since I was about 7 and been blogging since 2003 but this is my first attempt at capturing the essence of the day, recording the most important or striking thing I came across with pictures rather than words. We'll see how it goes.

2009-2010 is a good choice for me for several reasons, the most significant perhaps being that I'll be turning 30 during this chosen time; Winter Solstice 2009 seems like a good and fairly natural place to start...

See you on the other side...
