In September I was attending a photo outing course and one of the participants mentioned that he was doing a 365 project. A couple of weeks later, I asked him about it and decided to start one for myself. My plan is to take a picture every day for a year with no rules. I'll just take whatever I like.

I'm married, 30 years, have 2 married girls, 2 grandchildren, 3 labrador retrievers and 2 cats. I retired from Biogen Idec (a biotech) in Boston, MA. in 2007 and now l live in Durham, NC.

I since I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa., I remain a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
