Hello, remember me?

Yeah, I know.  It’s been a quite a while since I’ve done anything with this website.  There came a point where I was really wondering why I kept this website up.  I even considered relinquishing the domain that I’ve held since…forever.

I had my reasons.  I’m probably not going to go into them here.  Don’t ask.  I won’t tell.

But recently I got a new toy:  a Nikon D60 Digital SLR camera.  I’d wanted one of these for what seems like forever.  Maybe not this model specifically, but a Digital SLR.  I hadn’t the slightest idea how to use it, but I wanted it.  So I scrimped and I saved, and finally I got it.  You can check out the product link above; it was pretty expensive.  And the moment it arrived on my doorstep I was both excited that I finally owned a digital SLR and terrified that I wouldn’t….use it to it’s full extent.  That I wouldn’t be worthy of it, so to speak.

I bought this thing.  I had better learn how to use it.

So I thought to myself…why not use my blog as encouragement.  Use the camera.  Try to use it every day.  Take one good shot.  Or one interesting shot.  Or just one shot, even if it’s terrible.  And try to post it to the site.

It gives me a reason to blog again.  It gives me a reason to use my camera.  Seems like a good idea.

So I decided to take…wait for it…one more shot at this whole blogging thing.    I’m hoping that this new mood will stick around for a while.  We’ll see.

By the way, if you’re looking for older posts, I’m going to be migrating them over to a new site off of this one for an archive of A Day in the Life, but it’ll take a while.
