Happy New Year!
Today is Day 1 of Year 5 for Greensboro Daily Photo. When we published our first post on January 2nd, 2009, we weren't sure we could sustain this effort. Posting a photo, with accompanying text/research, EVERY day is quite a commitment. Somehow, even with full time jobs, vacations, deaths in the family, and power outages, we've managed to get something posted every day. That's 1,460 photos related to Greensboro. Sometimes, we question why we have taken on this huge commitment- community service, of sorts. However, when we read your comments or attend events, like the Piedmont Interfaith Council Ecumenical Celebration and see our photos up on the giant screen, we know this effort is all worthwhile.
This whole international, city daily photo effort started with Paris Daily Photo and we are honored to be a part of this great community. If you are regular readers, you know we participate in the ABC Wednesday meme; also, we post a photo of the sky over Greensboro on Fridays; on Sundays, we post something related to religion and spirituality. The other days, we fill in with an array of scenes around town. Also, we try to feature the people of our Greensboro. Please continue to read and to provide us with ideas, feedback and comments.
Congratulations Jan and David! Five years of sharing and teaching about your city is a big accomplishment. Keep up the good work.
Wishing you lots of happy new photo ops in the new year.

Happy New Year! and it is so nice to meet you :)
I have long admired your dedication and the contributions of your city (not as long as 5 years, but still....)
It is amazing what we can find to enjoy about where we live if we look for it.

Congratulations on beginning your fifth year of GDP! I am a relatively new subscriber, and I love seeing your photos and reading a little history of the Gate City every day. I sometimes even learn something new or see something I've never seen before, and I've lived in and around Greensboro for fifty years. Keep the beautiful photos coming. Your hard work doesn't go unappreciated. Thank you!
