Start a photo journal and document my life in Alaska.

I decided to try and accomplish this goal via a blog. I’ve been inspired by the blog of some of my friends, and they’ve been encouraging me to start a blog of my own. So far so good. If I keep it up, I should have a really nice record of my life here.

I’m getting better at this. It’s become part of my routine.

look around for something interesting, but I did it!

take a picture of myself working on my exercise goal. Two goals at once! Yes!

Wahoo! Throughout my day I kept my eyes open for a good moment to capture, took a picture, uploaded it, and wrote a nice caption.

I went back and found some pictures I took earlier this year and added them retroactively to my collection. I now have ten pictures. That’s not too bad considering it’s only the thirteenth of the year. I still have to take a picture for today. Nothing has struck me as particularly picture-worthy yet, but I’ll keep my eyes open…

I didn’t do a super great job of getting this goal started at the beginning of the year. :( In my own defense, I was super busy with family, a wedding, packing, etc. So, I’ve decided that I’m not going to expect perfection of myself. I will aim for one picture a day. If I have a super busy day (or a day without Internet connection), I will not stress or panic. I will try to add a few extra pictures on good days.

I started today and added a few pictures for January 4, 5, and 10.

Not exactly once a day, but I’m taking the time to write captions for the pictures, and that’s progress!

I haven’t really kept up with this one lately, but today I added a handful of pictures of my Thanksgiving pies to my Flickr account.
