Its in the blood

My Grandpa Maurice "Sunny" Alt. was a photographer too. He lived in SanDiego and was a lifeguard and sailboat instructor and once had an article written up in the newspaper which mentioned his "sunny disposition". His other pictures are unreal how cool they are.
This is a picture that Sunny took flying over a part of SanDiego (I think Mission Bay- where my mom grew up, if I'm not mistaken) in a helicopter. This is my destination today. 12 hours in the car with two kids.........totally worth it!

I am taking on the 365 Challenge 1/365

I am taking on the 365 challenge. Where you take a picture everyday and post them for 365 days. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but I've been a little timid about having something to show every day for one year. Yet when I was cleaning out my archives the other day I realized I take a ton of pictures that never get posted because they don't fit in my family blog or in my photography blog. So here they will lie.



I've seen other people's 365 day challenges: http://www.memoriesinraw.com/ & http://blissfullydomestic.com/photo-bliss/are-you-up-for-the-365-challenge/and I am always inspired by the different ones I see. It is a beautiful creative outlet everyday of the year and will help me immensly with my quest for consistency. Hopefully at the end of the challenge I will have a beautiful culmination of what my life was like for that year. With all its ups, downs, and all arounds.
