Daily Baby Project
A photo a day for our son’s first year.
The idea sort of came about by itself 3 days after our son was born, when I realized that I already had a dozen photos on my smartphone in addition to the ones I was taking with my DSLR. With technology what it is today, it was so easy to snap shots with my phone while we were at the hospital and share with family and friends immediately. Sure, the quality wasn’t as great, and although I had my laptop with me in the hospital those first few days, firing open Photoshop and processing RAW files didn’t seem like a priority.

As I’m crafting this page on the website, we still have two weeks left until our son turns 1. The photos are all saved in the Daily Baby photoset on my personal Flickr account, but for our friends and family to easily enjoy, they’re posted on our family blog as well. Since I’ve been using the Flickr API for years, it was a piece of cake throwing in the code to pull in each photo on the blog like that, and I imagine it’s only the start.
Speaking of his first birthday, I’ve also been doing work on a video slideshow for his baby luau we’re having. I hadn’t done the math in my head at the time, but a slideshow with 365 daily photos is one long slideshow. Luckily for our party guests, I was able to trim it down just a tad.
