interesting inauguration idea...

[wookiegirl]

Thought I'd share this idea I first saw at Shutter Sisters... it comes from this blog: http://practicalbrownbob.blogspot.co...-bloggers.html by way of this blog: http://peapods.typepad.com/peapods/2...-idea-tod.html

Here's the original idea from the first blogger, Melissa:

I had an idea today about something that could be done next Tuesday—Obama's inauguration day here in the US—amongst a few or several bloggers around the world.

Basically, I was thinking that it's very rare to have an historic event taking place that so many people in every country are excited about, and that a great way to commemorate it might be for each blogger who participates to take a photo on Tuesday that for them is emblematic of hope, optimism, or a new day. It wouldn't need to have anything to do with the inauguration itself, just something that speaks to them on a personal level. Then post the photo along with 44 words about it or the day itself. (Obama will be our 44th president.) A fairly simple idea.

I don't blog, but this still sounds great. I'm going to do a layout that meets the criteria, and I'll post it on Tuesday. I just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested... feel free to join in!

I saw that and had it on my mind to do. Thought about it last night and thought I would take camera to work today.
