Thanks Norm.
Maybe a project for next year should be to try to make sure my posts don't end up at the bottom of the page so that a lot of folks miss them when it flips to the next one!

In 2011 and 2012 I walked sections of Yonge Street in Toronto near where I live and took overlapping photos of the street frontages. Nothing artistic, just recording what's there. Now, with the pace of development, the street looks very different. A lot of the buildings I photographed have gone, are under redevelopment or have been redeveloped, and many of the remaining businesses have changed hands. Recently I donated the shots to the Toronto Archives - they seem to appreciate them, and there were no other records like that in the Archives (just old B&W shots from long ago). I'll be doing another overlapping photoshoot in the next little while - hopefully before the snow flies. I know that in another five or ten years the street will be unrecognizable compared to what was there in 2011.

It doesn't have to be a "magnum opus". The photobook I made recently is just 17 pages, home - printed on some nice paper that had been sitting around in my desk drawer for years (it would be cheaper going to a printer for larger volumes), and hand-bound using materials from a craft store (google "Japanese four-hole binding"). You have said before Norm that you sometimes sell images at summer markets - maybe something like this could be popular as well. You could do several books based on different themes.

Good idea for a thread Norm. It would be good if shooting locations could be organized by State, country or whatever to help make them searchable for future visitors.
No food in mouth? I suppose a sunflower seed in a chickadee's beak might betray the illusion of a bird wandering wild and free, but often food can make a shot a bit more interesting (examples previously posted).
