To Whom It May Concern:

After nearly 3 months, the Daily Snippets Blog has been updated!  Hooray!  Although I have been taking pictures almost every day for the last three months, I got terribly behind on editing and even more behind on posting the images on the Daily Snippets Blog.  When the first part of this year rolled around, I did some heavy consideration:  Did I like the pressure of taking pictures almost every day?  Was it helping me grow or not?  Was blogging the pictures really worth it, or would it be better to just collect them myself, since my main purpose for the project was a book of images to chronicle the year?

My first conclusion was that it was worth it to try to take  a picture almost every day, although there are some days that I just need to give myself flexibility to not take a picture, such as my teaching days.  I found myself capturing a lot of great moments that I otherwise would have forgotten, and I also got better at using light differently, and more comfortable using light that wasn’t ideal over the course of the last year.  At first I thought I would discontinue the blog and just quietly create the book, but then certain wonderful people started asking me WHY I wasn’t updating the Daily Snippets blog.  And they expressed that they had been missing it.  So, I got caught up on all the images that I didn’t get posted in 2011, and I’m currently working through the last couple of weeks of January.

So, if you are a Daily Snippets reader, enjoy!  Although I do have to warn you that in my haste to get caught up, there are more cross posts between this blog and the snippets blog for the last couple of months.  I’ll remedy that for the future, because I really do like to have different images for the two blogs.  The problem was, when I got behind on that blog, I ended up posting some of the images that really belonged there here, without realizing it.
