I’ve decided to rededicate this blog and hopefully spend more time and effort on it. The truth is, I intend on spending more time and effort on my life and record it in this journal. So far, my life has been about 20,245 days and I figure I have at least 10,000 more days to live. Although the first two thirds of my life has been eventful and satisfying, it’s really only been eventful and satisfying to me. If I died today, I’m sure my family and some friends would be very sad, but I have done nothing to leave my mark on the world. I would be just a speck that lived and died. Hopefully this blog will help me perform the highly unlikely task of making some small difference during the last third of my life.
I will count the nights down backwards and record my thoughts, intentions, events, feelings and actions. This should help me stay focused on making my last 10,000 nights worthwhile. At the very least, I hope to improve my writing. I will also post one photograph a day. I don’t see 10,000 good photographs being a problem.
Today I entered 2 photographs in the Tyme Gallery Photography Expo X Juried Exhibition. This one is titled Urban Stillife. It was taken early one morning in an ally behind Sansom Street in Philadelphia. An inter city toy camera take on traditional still life photography. I’ll post the other photograph tomorrow. The jurors will make their decision by Monday, February 2 and I should get my rejection notice a few days later. Twenty-five dollars of drinking money…wasted.
