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.

78 Album


I'm a record collector, and in some ways I'm the worst kind. I collect, among other things, 78 RPM records. I love them for their direct, immediate sound as well as for the sense of holding a piece of history. Today I cleaned and played a 4-record album of 12" 78s which I found recently - Benny Goodman, Fats Waller, Tommy Dorsey,and Bunny Berigan. The records are in excellent condition and sound great.
