This week, I finished reading Gerald Lund's book
The Undaunted about the Hole-in-the-Rock expedition. So I included a photo of Jim & Anna Decker and family, who are spotlighted in the book. They are my great-great-grandparents. Their oldest child, Lillian, second from the right in the back row, is Grandpa Wood's mother. Lund calls her little Anna in the book but I have only heard her called Lillian. She was four when her sister, Lena Deseret, was born under their wagon at Fifty Mile Springs before they headed down the chute at Hole-in-the-Rock.
I'm off to a great start. Come join me. This promises to be a fun way to journal. Take a few photos every day so you can choose one as your POTD. Scrap them onto a page at the end of the week. By week 52, you will have a beautiful book ready for publication that will be a priceless history of the year. Don't you wish you had books like that of your parents and grandparents? Then create some for your children! It's not too late to get started now. And don't forget to blog them each week. For inspiration, register a username and password on DesignerDigitals.com and join the DD ladies' group on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/groups/30dd/. Upload your POTD in 5x7 format. Posting to their group is a great backup for your POTDs and a good source of ideas for photos.

I'm not really learning a WHOLE lot from my photo class, but by taking it, i AM more aware of photo opp's, so that has made it worth it. -I loved all of these simple suggestions. Even the most basic, mundane things can make great pictures!
