>Before my daughter Lauren was born, I thought up the self-challenge to

>was taken and a bit about what she was doing or wearing. These images
>are in albums chronologically, dated and numbered.

>Lauren will enter her senoir year of high school this month. I was
>bittersweetly pondering her future and realized this could well be the
>last full year we live together in the same house. So I've asked and
>she's agreed to let me photograph her every day again.

Lea,
What a wonderful project. I suspect it will prove to be invaluable to you
both.
I am very tempted to to the same for my 2 year old. Her eyes tell so much
about her. At delicate subtle expression revealing the range of emotion
of so many first time experiences.
Hope you enjoy it.

Don
