2012

• It's finally over! I took a picture every day this year. They are all posted in this 9 minute clip above. If you got that kinda time you should check it out. This was my year. And what better way to celebrate this then with some bullet points.
• In many ways I see 2012 as the last rodeo. The last year of my 20's, the last year of just Richard and Natalie, the last year of life as we know it today. For 22 years it was just me. For the last 7 years Natalie has been with me. I wanted this year to be special and memorable and I think it really was.
• This isn't bad that it will be different, just different, probably way better.
• Some people ask me if I am going to do the picture of the day thing this year. The answer to that...HECK NO!
• That mug was difficult to do. I am surprised I haven't thrown my camera away. Every day I was a little stressed out until I got the picture of the day. 
• And as you can tell some of the days I really had nothing. If you ever see shoes, Wallace, or a hot dog (that comes up more then you would think) then you know I really had zero.
• All of these pictures were taken by me on the date that is posted. If I am in the picture I either used a timer or a remote. 
• I am happy I did it and kind of proud of myself. I took thousands of pictures this year and maybe doing this thing made me a better picture taker. I hope so. Thanks to everyone who posed for the pictures and humored me. 
• 2012 was tight. I'm not taking one picture in 2013.
