Introduction

On this site, I posted a picture (almost) every day, from December 3, 2010 to December 3, 2011. Only 16 days during that period are without pictures. All but two pictures were taken on the day of the post. Sometimes the daily picture represented the day in a larger way; sometimes it was just a picture. Since I posted so often, some pictures are more interesting than others.

After one year of posting a daily picture, I posted pictures less frequently - whenever I had something worth sharing.

After two years of more casual posting, I decided to once again post a daily (or almost daily) picture in 2014.

I'm not a photographer, and most of these pictures were taken with an inexpensive digital camera. A few were taken with a cellphone camera. Click on any picture for a larger view.

A final word...

...for now. I feel that I should say something about the status of this blog, since I haven't posted a picture since May. I suppose that I've lost interest; my plan to once again post a daily picture in 2014 quickly started seeming like a chore. So I don't plan to post here anymore, although I certainly might change my mind at some point. In any case, when I occasionally look back through the pictures here, I usually find a few that I think are pretty good. So poke around the archives - you might find something interesting. Thanks to everyone who has taken a look.

Allman Brothers Bootlegs


A casual friend knew that, like all Southern boys my age, I'm a fan of the Allman Brothers Band, so he offered to bring some live shows and bootleg recordings for me to copy.  This is what he brought to my house today.

Bird Bath


We keep a bowl of water on our back deck for the squirrels and chipmunks.  Today a good-sized robin took a bath in the bowl.  Halfway through his bath, another little bird flew up to investigate.

Filming at Pullman Yards


A movie is currently filming scenes at Pullman Yards near my house in Atlanta.  I've featured Pullman Yards in many posts in this blog; this post is especially relevant.

Genius at 78 RPM


I recently acquired an original copy of one of the seminal recordings of modern jazz - Charlie Parker's "Ko Ko," from 1945.  It's still mind-boggling nearly 70 years later.

Jazz Fest Tour


From April 4 to 11, I was on tour with the 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra.  The routine of driving, waiting to play, playing, and sleeping did not lend itself to picture-taking, so this shot will have to represent the week.

Edgewood Saxophone Trio


For the first time in 2014, I did not take a picture today.  I had a lot on my mind, as we had the CD release party for the Edgewood Saxophone Trio tonight.  To represent the day, I'm posting this cellphone picture by my friend Rob.

New CD


The Edgewood Saxophone Trio, of which I am a member, has recorded a new CD.  They arrived today.
