2000 Days on an An Every Day Thing! 

Thank you to everyone who has followed, re-blogged or liked An Every Day Thing or indeed taken any interest in it.

Amazing to think I've actually managed to take a photograph of something from my day for 2000 consecutive days. Right so I have missed the odd day very occasionally. Also on quite a few days, I've only managed something pretty mundane like a teacup at home.

Nevertheless, the challenge of taking a photograph every day has quite a rejuvenating effect because, for a while, even if just for a few minutes, I have to abandon whatever has been occupying my mind that day and find my "photo of the day".

If you enjoy An Every Day Thing, you can also find my photographs on my following Tumblrs:

Postcards from Wanderings which was where it all started but is now focused on general travel other than London and Cornwall

Sometimes London which showcases the London which visitors like;

London Edge for the more genuine, authentic and gritty London;

My Cornish Place for Cornwall (sadly not that I get there much these days);

My Monochrome Place for a world in black and white;

More Every Day Things where you can find additional photographs from a particular day but which do not fall into the theme of one of my other Tumblrs. Unlike An Every Day Thing which carries no description, More Every Day Things contains some description about and even some stories behind the photographs.

Sports Spectator for sport at all levels from a spectator perspective (but sadly not enough time for sports spectating these days);

Small Town XTC which celebrates the uniqueness and reflects on some of the dispiritedness of small town Great Britain (currently in need of some TLC so really less of the XTC happening on this Tumblr these days):

My Colourful Place which is meant to contain lots of colour. Unfortunately this Tumblr has been neglected for an age so I’m hoping to shame myself into re-invigorating it; and

English Shops for well errrr…English shops

Remember too that you can find me at my website photographmelondon.com.

You can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Ciao, Simon

Day 1000 or day 1002?

A landmark achieved! Not sure if I should be celebrating day 1000 or day 1002.

 The original challenge was to observe something new every day and take a photograph of it. Unfortunately I managed to miss a couple of days so, as I’m some distance from 1000 consecutive days, maybe neither day is a landmark.

  One of the most enjoyable aspects has been the challenge to observe something new, particularly over the last 12 months when most of the photographs have had to be taken within walking distance of home, often over a quick 10 minute or so lunch time stroll. That said, the day 1000 scene has been photographed a few times over the challenge because it is a view from my terrace. However, as the sky is always changing, I am counting it each time as something new! For that reason, the photograph is, therefore, the ideal scene with which to bring up day 1000.

Looking forward to continuing the challenge for the next 1000 days.
