My 101 in 1001 List
I am an avid reader of Jenna Simpson’s blog at aboutimagephotography.com. Around the new year Jenna posted an updated list of her 101 in 1001- simply 101 things to do in 1001 days. I have been making little notes here and there about what I would put on that list, and now I feel as though I could commit myself to completing it.
So here is my 101 in 1001, to have completed by Monday, 12 November, 2012 (granted the world doesn’t end…):
