365 Days, 365 Points of View

There's always a lot of talk about resolutions this time of year. Here's one that's easy to follow: tune into this funky new blog: 3six5.

A couple of guys in Chicago came up with this idea -- get 365 different people to contribute to one blog. Each day, a different person gets to write the entry. Entries must be 365 words or shorter.

Posts must be timely and personal. Each post is like a tiny window into someone else's life and by the end of the year you'll have had a peek into hundreds of lives.

I've been keeping up with the posts so far. Since they are short, it's a quick daily read.

The editors are still seeking writers for the later half of the year. I sent in my name, but haven't heard back yet.

Collection of Urban Tree Photos

Emma Livingston is a British photographer who is living in Buenos Aires.

One of the photography collections on her web site features urban trees of Buenos Aires.

The "tree portraits" feature solitary trees amidst their concrete, brick and asphalt environments.

Some of them just seem so sad, but at the same time the pictures make you want to root (pun intended) for these trees. Grow, tree, grow!
