“Piece, Love & Chocolate” — It’s a new chocolate shop opening at 850 Pearl Street (where Bayleaf used to be). I love the name and am looking forward to the shop opening. It’s a great location. Shot for Daily Shoot #ds405 for peace and harmony. (photo via my Flickr)

“Tree Ring Time Line” — A very large and old tree at the southwest corner of 7th Street and Pearl Street had to be cut down a few years ago. Recently, the stump has been turned into a artwork, with beautiful wood carving/engraving. On top of the stump is this historical time line with markers for major events, presumably located at the correct tree ring! Shot for @dailyshoot #ds341 for time. (photo via my Flickr)
“Calendar?” Daily Shoot celebrates its first anniversary today. A humble project by Duncan Davidson and Mike Clark to help photographers of all different levels take daily photos rapidly grew in participation and sophistication of the website over the last year. As of right now, 1,520 photographers have submitted at least one photo, and 35,905 photos have been submitted to its Twitter account.
I tried hard to catch up on all the assignments I missed before Daily Shoot reached its 365th assignment, but I didn’t make it. The screenshot I took for today’s assignment is a small subset of what I have submitted over the last 365 days. Although I wasn’t meticulous about actually taking a photo a day like a project 365, the photos do mostly document the last year. And thus they constitute something like a calendar, which is today’s assignment. (Photo via my Flickr)
