So, now I’m older and wiser, I don’t take quite as many pictures of dolls and I’m not always happy with the pictures I take.  I was inspired by Rob’s description of the picture a day challenge<\/A> (PAD).  The idea is you need to take and post at least one picture every day for a year.  As you take pictures and are forced to choose your favorite each day (provided you take more than one) you will also be forced to improve (also, now that I’ve gone public with this I’ll be embarassed to quit :))<\/P>
