8 days a week

So today will be day 8. Thus far I've completed every day, though there is a lag time posting due to computer troubles with uploading the shot.

I finally managed to upload everything, but it's getting late and I'm not sure how much more computer time I can handle. Due to this problem there will probably be one more post in a few minutes, and a new post either tomorrow mid morning or on Sunday when I have time to post more of the new stuff.

Total list of participants thus far in order: Jeff, Geoff, Rina, Kalvin, Kathy, Debi, and Ann.

Day 3 - Jeff, Geoff and Rina

In three days, I've kept to the goal; although there is the slight problem of I'm exhausted from other activities and thus posting here hasn't happened and my notes are rather freehand chicken scratch. I need to get more organized quickly before being disorganized becomes a chronic pattern that lasts the whole project length. This weekend I've shot over 3,000 photos between various wedding events, a film shoot, and of course this project had a handful. I'm pretty sure I like a lot of the shots, but I'm thinking I need to make a return to film for a while in order to get back to valuing every shot more and getting the quality over quantity thing back. I should have a real post including Q/A and photos soon.

Day 1 - Knowledge Day in Russia and Anniversary of WWII beginning
