Item #84 on my list of 101 Things to do in 1001 Days is to participate in 100 Snapshots.

The true aim of the exercise is to take this list of words, and create a photo especially for the project. However, I have decided to supplement new photographs with shots that were taken at any time during my 101 in 1001 Project. This has given me an opportunity to look at my older photographs in new ways, which has been an enriching process.

Success isn’t necessarily finishing all 100 items, although that would be great!
