11/15/11 - CORRECTION - I had mis-numbered at Photo 198 - giving two photos in a row the same number. It is now the 319th day of the year and I am just now figuring this out. Anywho ... I don't want to change the copy from that day, and please note that I didn't miss a day, I just double numbered and now I must re-number from photo 199 and up. So even though I took this on the 201st day of the year, I'm going to let it stay - mistakes happen. My numbering may be off, but I still haven't missed a day!!
Do you know what day it is? It's day 200 of the year 2011! I know that because as of today, I have taken at least one photo per day and, for the most part, I have posted at least one photo per day.
The one thing that sticks with me about this photo journey is my persistence. Some days I'm surprised that I get something taken and I'm happy that I've not let myself down by quitting or settling. Sure, there have been times when I've taken a quick pick of food or a suitcase (by far my least favorite pic), but for the most part, I've been happy with my selections.
Tonight is a perfect example of a time when I could have settled. Last night I told Frank, "I should get a picture of the number 200 for my photo of the day tomorrow." "Good idea," he said. Well, guess who drove around and worked all day without picking up the camera? This girl! And then when I got home, I took a picture of Melanie Scott Matteson. Nothing wrong with a picture of your neighbor, right? Well, something was missing so I tried to take a picture of my early blooming mums. The shot was okay ... but just okay was going to cut it. As I went to name the photo, Day 200, my plan for the day came flooding back. Darn it, 8:05 pm on Day 200 and I hadn't taken a picture of 200! So what did I do? I hopped in the car and drove to the driving range where Frank had been practicing this afternoon. Yes, the driving range where there are big yardage signs. I took a few pictures from the fence with my 135mm lens but I just wasn't happy ... had to get closer ... I persevered ... I persisted ... I ran 200 yards out to the sign, hoping the owners wouldn't show up and kick me off the range. Mission accomplished. I got my 200 picture and now I'm posting my 200th consecutive photo of the year 2011. Yay, ME!!
