Jim Brandenburg (world famous nature/wildlife/Geographic photographer) did just this, in the Minnesota wilderness (near where he lives) and both the National Geographic and a book publisher published his chronological photographs. Jim's picture-a-day was exactly that. "One" 35mm frame each day. Nothing more, nothing less. Starting in the autumn solstice and ending on the winter solstice. When he came out, he had used 2-1/2 rolls of film. 90 frames. Jim explains why he needed to do this, in the book. The photographs, for the most part, are very good. Some really good, some OK. But under the constraints, I don't believe I could have done as well. I received the book as a gift on Christmas. Had I not received it as a gift, I would have purchased it. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1559716711/qid=946405363/sr=1-1/102-0 357450-7227260 Jim At 11:06 AM 12/27/99 -0800, Mark Rabiner wrote: > >I get a picture a day of the inside of my camera bag as I use a soft >release.
