Comments and thoughts on my ongoing Photo-A-Day project.
I reached Day #2000 of what I’ve now dubbed “Project Infinity” on 22nd June 2013. Since then, I have been working hard to put together a set of exhibition panels showing the first 2000 days of my journey. A new website gallery is the product, and shows the thematic mosaics.
Here is the hanging plan for the panels:

The 20 themes are as follows:
So another year has drawn to a conclusion. Here’s my review of my 2012 Year In Pictures.
For those of you that like numbers, here are some stats:
Pictures made at home: 89/366 = 24.3%
Pictures made within 5 miles of home: 90/366 = 24.6%
Pictures made further away: 187/366 = 51.1%
Pictures made with Canon G12 Compact: 44/366 = 12.0%
Pictures made with Panasonic GF1 Compact: 120/366 = 32.8%
Pictures made with DSLR (Canon EOS 7D): 202/366 = 55.3%
Compared to last year, I made more pictures further from home in 2012, and used the 7D a bit less, but with the addition of the G12 which largely took up the slack.
And in case you care, here are my favourite and least favourite shots from each month:
* Pic of the Year: Day #1808 – In The Blink Of An Eye
** Dud of the Year: Day #1728 – View From The 10th
I’m very pleased with 2012’s images. I think it’s without a doubt the best year I’ve had so far. I’ve visited some fantastic places which have given me great photographic opportunities. But I’ve also experimented more at home, trying out new things such as better water drops and light painting. Once again, it’s been a great learning experience.
Of course, I’m not stopping during 2013. It’s just as addictive as always 
Another milestone passes, almost without me noticing. This project has become so much part of everyday life. So here is the latest installment in the Desktop Background series for you:

April was a busy month as I started back at the BBC for a 7 week contract. So not as much free time as I have had in the recent past. But the weekends still provided some interesting opportunities for photography.
I haven’t got any tickets for the upcoming Olympic events, but did manage to get along to the Canoeing Trials in mid-April. This was another dramatic shot from the day:

I also hosted a special visitor for a fortnight – Sunny Trekker the Travelling Domo. He was great fun to photograph and take around. He even came to work with me:

At the end of the month I enjoyed an overnight stay in Kent with a friend. On the Sunday we explored Canterbury and Sandwich. The Cathedral was quite magnificent.
