Today is the seventh anniversary of Greensboro Daily Photo. Seven years ago, we decided to join the City Daily Photo initiative, started by Eric Tenin of Paris Daily Photo, and have enjoyed showcasing the beauty of Greensboro to the rest of the world. We have regular readers as close as Greensboro and as far as Jerusalem and Moscow. We have published a photo a day for seven years without missing a day; that rounds out to over 2,500 photos of Greensboro. Through the years, GDP has brought us closer to the community. We have had so many wonderful experiences, attending events and interviewing people.
On the blog, we bill ourselves as Mr. and Mrs. GDP. My husband, David, takes care of the technical aspects of the website. Professionally, he is a commercial pilot. As for me (Janis), I am a teacher and have taught every grade from Kindergarten to doctoral students. I love the challenge of making lessons meaningful and relevant, regardless of the age of the learners. On the blog, I take the photos, conduct the interviews, and put together the text that accompanies the photos. GDP is our way of giving back to Greensboro while doing something as a couple. Both of us enjoy traveling, but love calling Greensboro home.
Thank you for your readership. Please share this URL with friends, neighborhood associations and anyone you know who has an interest in Greensboro. You can access GDP through Facebook, Twitter (#gdphoto), or as an email message. As we work on the lineup for 2016, please contact us with ideas of ways to showcase our city and citizens. Your readership and input are what make this effort all worthwhile. You are the reason for this blog. Enjoy!
Congratulations on your blog anniversary! Still going strong after all these years. You really take your sharing and teaching seriously and Greensboro is lucky to have you.
It's nice to see your picture. :) Have a great new year traveling and blogging.

Bravo! Nice to meet you! VDP's 7th is coming up but I have to admit I'm not sure I'll continue.
And happy new year! Thanks for your comments while I was away!
