My Daily Photo Niger site was one of 500+ daily photo blogs at City Daily Photo. It was voted, by other bloggers there, in the six months or so that I did it, sort of as a good-bye to Niger, consistently in the favorite top ten.
It made me so happy to see Niamey, Niger right next to Paris and London, and finally in the top ten of something that wasn't negative. I realize a lot of the visits were because Africa is so under-represented, and the novelty of Niger automatically made it a curiosity. Daily City Photo now has grown to over 1000 members, and I won't be alone in representing Moscow–if they let me in. But I hope my Daily Photo Moscow brings us all as much fun and camaraderie and sort of surprising jolts of pleasure that Daily Photo Niger did. A photo a day is such a good exercise for me, artistically and as a way to process the love/hate of where I'm living, that I am going back in and I'm taking Moscow with me.
