On This Day - October 1st

A Look Back

One advantage of digital photography is having a reliable timestamp on photos. This makes it very easy to  browse through the catalog and re-capture a moment in my photo history. This is a fun project, I find some gems and discard some turkeys. I was posting these on  The Final Chapter, my Substack publication but that has some limitations. There is no support for tagging, embedding, keywords and searches. Rather than continue with that platform, I'm moving to this website. let's get started.

The library is located in downtown Nashua, but that didn't deter this hawk.
