In his book, The Rum Diary, Hunter S. Thompson writes....
"Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that my instincts were right. I shared a vagrant optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles – a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other – that kept me going."
This is an experimental project. My goal is to post a single picture each day during 2007. My hopes are that it will force me to improve my photography skills and technique and to more actively notice and, on occasion, interact with the world around me.
The rules are simple, I have to have taken the picture on the day it was posted for. Generally, I will try to post a picture on the same day that I take it. But there will probably be times when that is not possible.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to leave me a comment.
For anyone who may be interested, prints are available. If interested, please contact me and let me know what sort of print you'd like (framed or not, what size you'd like, etc) and I will get back to you as soon as possible with a price and to iron out the details. I'm not yet looking to make a living off of my art so prices will mostly just be to cover my costs.

I love what you did here, Scott. Good stuff.
I would love to be half the photographer that Hunter S. Thompson is a writer.
Significant. All to familiar.
