So far, I’ve only missed one day (and it wasn’t really "missed", I just used someone else’s camera, so I don’t have the photos yet).

I’ve been already thinking about similar ideas, and adding some sort of additional project that is keyed to a specific subject… like taking a sunset photo everyday, regardless of the quality of that day’s sunset, where I am or what camera I have with me (iPhone, P&S or D80).

I think I would learn a lot, improve my photography skills and also come to appreciate different subjects this way.

Perhaps it would be neat (given your family’s stage) to post a photo every day of the growing child. I bet by his/her birthday, you’d be pretty pro at taking shots of a pregnant woman!

My equivalent, is to find inspiration, to search for meaning in the mundane of each day, to distil beauty from the world around me, as if collecting berries, or manna each morning.

Thomas R. Smith says, "Whatever happens is our daily bread." We feed our souls from whatever we can extract from the days dealings, we collect gleanings that God leaves for us to find.

Today, looking at your photographs is some of my daily bread. Cheers.
