This is my 101st post! Woohoo! To mark this milestone, I plan to not only listen to the Depeche Mode album of the same name, but I also joined the Day Zero Project. According to the website, “Day Zero is a place to record your goals, discover new challenges, and gain motivation to achieve them.” In other words, I created a list of 101 things I want to do in the next 1,001 days.

While I won’t be blogging each and every photo (as I think that would be annoying), you can see each day’s image by clicking the “Photos” button at the top of this page, on my Flickr page or through my own personal 365 Project page. I will also Tweet each one – you can follow me at @lifeafternormal. While I am guessing I will capture most photos on my iPhone, hopefully I will take my old Nikon D70 DSLR out a bit more often. We’ll see where this goes! Continue reading
