I made a link to the left, "100", of this entry. I've been meaning to put this list together for a number of years, but never got around to it. The list has been ping-ponging around in my head for that long, and it took me 3 weeks to complete.

Additionally, another new link to the left is "the city" where I'm taking 1 picture a day of the city as I'm on my way to work.

These past few months as I've been commuting, I would look in my rearview mirror at downtown, and every morning it would be beautiful, but with a different background and look, depending on the weather and whether we were on daylight saving time or not. So anyway, I got the idea from the movie Smoke, where Harvey Keitel would take a picture from his smoke shop every morning in Brooklyn from the same spot. I saw that movie years ago, and the idea struck me as really cool. But I never had a changing-yet-the-same city-subject that I thought worthy of this type of photographical exercise.
