Early in 2009, I decided to capture an image every calendar day for an entire year. 365 days later, I have more gray hair, have aged a decade and alienated loved ones, but I did it and, most importantly, I didn’t miss a single day. Comments and criticisms are welcomed, both on composition and technique, and on content. Thanks for looking.

Scene Of The Crime (Day 226)<br />
<br />
As I got ready for work this morning, I began hearing a bottle clinking sound. I first thought it was emanating from the radio I had on but soon realized that it was coming from outside. As it was trash day, I assumed that it was ABC picking up my garbage. Imagine my surprise when I set eyes on a bedraggled, middle-aged man crouched over the recycle bin in my driveway. I asked him sternly what the f#%* he was doing and he promptly replied, “making money”.<br />
<br />
Bare foot and only wearing boxers and a t-shirt, I chased him off my property and into his SUV and grabbed his license plate number for later reporting to the police. I assumed his theft was reducing the recycling profit ABC was making on my beer habit, which would result in fee increases. However, on further research, I learned that ABC actually has to pay to dump recyclables so essentially this guy was saving me money. <br />
<br />
I now plan to only drink beer with bottle deposits and will leave out milk and cookies … have to do my part to help my fellow man. <br />
