HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Just out of curiosity...

I take what to some might be considered a LOT of pictures. (I'm sure that to others, it's just a drop in the bucket.) I was curious the other day about how many I do take, though. I didn't feel like actually counting. But. As I take pictures, I sort through them and save the ones I think I might potentially want to a new folder...one for each month. That way, I can just open the monthly folder to see the "good" pictures, without having to wade through all the others that didn't make the cut.

So. I took an average of my month folders over the past four years. (Egad. Has it really been more than four years that I've been taking digi photos?!) Know what I discovered? October is apparently the month my camera gets the most work...or maybe the pictures just turn out better so I save more of them. I know that "big" events may skew these results (though really big things tend to get their own folder). Regardless, October far and away averaged the most saved photos at 241.5. (Yes, I really did the math.) The summer months were next...in the 130-170 range. The winter months, particularly January and February, were embarrassingly low. Only 39.25 average photos saved in Februarys. Maybe now that I have my new flash this will improve. Maybe.

What does any of this have to do with anything? I dunno. ;) Just thought I'd share. What month do you take the most pictures in? The fewest?

Good golly... if you have the time to calculate the average number of photos you take per month and compare it across the board of all photos you take ...without having to do it for a college class... you either are procrastinating or just plain nuts!
