Well, folks, my lovely network on Twitter came through again.  Someone wrote about a site called blipfoto.

Blipfoto allows a person to post one photo each day.  The catch is that the photo posted must be taken on that same day.  You can include a description of the shot or even add random comments like a regular blog.

Here is what I love about this site:

  • simplicity
  • friendly, welcoming members
  • beautifully captured images

I am carrying my camera with me everywhere now…trying to capture the perfect blip!  Here is a link to my blipfoto site.

Care to take a peek at what pulled together?   http://neccsessions.wikispaces.com
