As midnight passed and the date changed to October 26, 2004, I was taking pictures in my apartment in East Boston because my artistic eye was appreciating what I saw.\u00a0 I thought that if I had a website, I could share some of the beauty I see around me.\u00a0 After discovering PhotoByFred.com<\/a> was available, I registered the domain and tossed together an initial presentation of the site.\u00a0 The first picture I posted<\/a> was one I’d taken at about 12:05 AM:<\/p>\n

At that time, I figured I’d post pictures for a while, and see where it went.\u00a0 I had no clue I’d still be posting a picture a day eighteen years later, but here we are:\u00a0 PhotoByFred.com<\/a> turned 18 today, it’s old enough to vote (in some jurisdictions, I\u2019m sure\u2026) and there are now 6575<\/strong> different instances of “Your Daily Dose of Art<\/strong><\/em>” to be seen on the site.<\/p>\n

It originally started as an art project, a chance to share some of the pictures I’d taken that I thought were pretty nice.\u00a0 Over time, I have come up with a few ideas about how to make some money from the effort:<\/p>\n
