A friend of mine has started a blog which involves taking one picture everyday and posting it on his site. He explained to me that when he looks back on each photo it will evoke memories of where he was or what he was doing. It's a brilliant idea. He's got a good visual eye. It's at http://thedailyphotobooth.tumblr.com/

These days people seem to be starting online blogs and photo diaries etc and really enjoying it. There was a guy in the paper who took a photo of his daughter everyday and she was reaching ten years old. It must be great to look back at them. I buy a newspaper on my sons birthday so when he's 18 or whatever he will have a good feel for a life he can't remember. I also have a note book where I write things he has said and phrases he has started saying to document his growth. All these things take a tiny amount of effort really, but have great reward in the long run. I grow up from a generation of people who don't really know the characters of their own parents before they had us as children. Nowadays the Internet allows a lasting log of detail and movement of everyone. If I have learnt anything from writing a diary and having them now number so many. I have learnt that it's never too late to pursue something. Time passes and we reflect on the things we never did but there are a lot of seconds left in our lives yet. So many things can be achieved now for no money.
