February 3, 2007: A male cardinal perched in my backyard, Brooklyn, CT 1:45PM
A couple weeks back, a friend of mine asked me to make her a bracelet with a charm with a cardinal. I didn't have any cardinal charms, but I did have the ability to make a photo charm, and this photo instantly came to mind.
Back in 2007, LiveJournal had a community called "Day on Earth" where you could post a photo of where you were on earth so long as you posted the location and the time. It was fun to contribute and the best photo was chosen by the moderator to be the representative post of the day. I contributed a few times over the course of the year, from January through September, and it was not unlike how Instagram is today (though it was more photojournalism and fine art than selfies and food). I had a couple features in the community, including this photo as well as January 6 (which was the first post I ever posted there--nailed the top post!).
I collected the photos I posted there and uploaded as a photo essay to Smugmug, because I was, and still am, proud of the photos I took that year for a daily competition I really enjoyed. These were taken with my Kodak DX7590, which may have been a point and shoot but was definitely the camera that showed me what I was capable of.
