If you landed here because you heard me mention this blog at the National Symposium on Technology in Labor and Employment Law, thanks for paying attention! And thanks for checking out my blog. As you'll see, it's woefully out of date. But one of these days I'll get back to taking pictures and posting regularly . . . Cheers,
Maureen
Since I'm in SF about two of every ten days lately, I haven't made much progress on the 7x7 project. I suppose it will just have to wait until the 2011-Q1 travel saga winds down in April. . . So in the meantime, I think I'll post random stuff to stay amused while on the road.
Here's a cool piece from Paste -- a fabulous magazine based in my former hometown of Decatur, Georgia -- on the 10 best songs by Elvis Costello: http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2010/09/the-10-best-elvis-costello-songs.html I was pleased to see that the inspiration for the title of my blog made the cut. And I'm also enjoying Elvis' latest album, National Ransom. After 30-plus years as a singer/songwriter, Elvis can still write some hella-clever lyrics and compose some catchy tunes.
Friends, family, and followers,
The 2011 version of Every Day I Write the Book is here! Except this year the project looks a bit different. I'm calling it the "San Francisco in 7x7" project. As you might know, the city of San Francisco is basically a seven mile by seven mile square. For this project, I am going to lay a one mile by one mile grid over a map of the city, and over the course of the year, I will go to each grid on the map and take pictures. My goal at the end of the project is to select one photo from each grid, and compile a collection of 49 photographs that, for me, represent San Francisco. Along the way I'll post a few pictures from each of my outings.
This is a pretty ambitious project, so I hope you'll stay with me and help keep the fun going! Happy new year to you all,
Maureen
