About the Scituate Daily Photo Blog: Miscellany

In no particular order, here are the answers to the questions I've gotten....

• I was born and grew up in the next town over, but fell in love with Scituate early in my life. It was a dream come true when my family was finally able to move here in 2009. Having followed Quincy Daily Photo for some time, I decided Scituate deserved its own Daily Photo blog and I am beyond thrilled that others are enjoying this project!

• The Scituate Daily Photo Blog kicked off on December 31, 2009 and is part of the City Daily Photo community.

• I was inspired locally by Quincy Daily Photo.

• Sometimes I'm trying to get a really amazing photograph -  but sometimes I'm content with a simple shot that captures a moment or a place in time.

• I started off doing "Threshold Thursday" and "Monochrome Monday" but quickly realized I wasn't enjoying those constraints - they were annoying me rather than challenging me. If I happen to have a photograph that fits the theme I'll post it, but for the time being I'm not making it a regular feature on this blog.

• I try to use photographs that were taken recently if not on the very day that they are posted. The one clear rule is that there is a new photograph every day.

• Yes, I'm happy to take suggestions/requests for photographs. I'm happy to answer questions and hear your comments, too. You can leave a comment here or on the Facebook fan page, or email me directly - alicrehan (AT) scituatedailyphoto (DOT) com.

• It's pronounced SIT-CHOO-IT. (Although old timers pronounce it SIT-CHOO-ATE). The town's name is derived from Satuit, which is the Indian name for a brook flowing into the harbor. The area was first settled in about 1627 and officially recognized and incorporated in 1636.
