{101 in 1001 Days} / Columbus Ohio Photographer

101 tasks to accomplish in 1001 days!

I’m jumping on the bandwagon and committing to the following 101 tasks! This should be interesting! Bookmark this page and follow along with me as I add items to my completed list. And if you want to help me accomplish a task, please comment me and let me know. (finished tasks will be in BOLD).

A few rules:

1. Must be a specific task - no fluff allowed.
2. Must be realistic - might be difficult for this “reach for the sky” frame of mind I have!
3. Must be executed to the fullest degree - no shortcuts allowed.

Why 1001 days?
Because that is attainable! It’s realistic! It’s perfect for all seasons and for traveling.

Start Date: November 1 2009
End Date: July 28 2012
