365 Days of... Tacoma Photos (30. January 2007, 09:20 by Derek Young) ~ It's Been A Year?

Today is January 30th. On January 31st of last year we put our first photo online with the goal of posting a photo a day. That would mean that today should be the 365th day of 365 Days of Tacoma.

I never intended this to be an art fair or contest. This wasn’t intended to be high art. I have fancier cameras and better executed photographs, but this was something a little different. Some emails have mocked the photos. Others have celebrated them. My goal was to simply put a local photo online every day and, hopefully, show something at least vaguely interesting. Sometimes there was a theme. Usually there wasn’t.

Here are a few questions for you:

1. While we tried to get photos online every day – even while out of town for several weeks this year – we weren’t completely successful. Which days did we miss?

2. Did we repeat any photos? If so, on which days were they published?

The first to answer these questions successfully in the comments will receive a $50 gift certificate to Stadium Bistro.

MikeH and Daniel – we’ve already talked about these questions so I think you’re out of the running. I owe you a drink sometime.

I didn’t realize I missed that many…

I did some double checking on my numbers. Not quite the right answer. Try again or anybody else?

Ahem…That repeating picture? Doesn’t really repeat. It was just the lead photo you picked for the post.

Always was one for skipping the directions and getting right to the test…

Almost… but not quite.

I need a hint! I checked repeatedly and I can’t see where Cluadia’s original post is incorrect.

I think we have a winner. Kenneth has the answer that matches mine in post #11… but I’ll double check in the next day or two to confirm.

I didn’t mean to make anybody’s head spin…

Did I officially win?? Woohoo!

Nice photos Derek! I’ll be swinging by exit133.com more often now that we’re settled into T-town. Cheers…...
