Stories about Life with Picture a Day
Every day I’ll post one picture somewhat related to life, things I’ve done, places I’ve been, and/or what’s going on in the world around me.
Some days it will be just a picture.
Some days I’ll write a story to go with it (the picture will be my writing prompt). It may be 10 words, it may be 2000 words. Will depend on the day and the subject.
Why a picture a day?
Back in 2009 I had a blog, and for about a year when I was in Iraq and just after I got back, I posted a new picture every day, and often wrote posts to go with the pictures. It went over pretty well. Lately I’ve struggled with what I want to write about here on Substack (had a couple of other publications). I like this trying to revive this idea because I’ll have a reason to post every day even if I can’t think of anything to write about But do, I can write about a variety of topics if I so choose. Hopefully people will like my pictures, and at least some of what I write about will resonate.
I will only post one picture a day here. But I’ll share more of my nature and hiking pictures at Instagram.com/jotnhill
So who the heck is Todd?
I’m just a guy who did 24 years as an Air Force weather forecaster, then was lucky enough to get a civil service job doing the same thing. I currently live and work in southeast Arizona. Before I enlisted, my dad was also in the Air Force, and we lived literally all over the world when I was a kid.
I’m a dad (3 adult kids, 2 adult step kids, I teen daughter who lives with her mom, and 4 teens currently sharing my roof). I also have 7 (soon to be 8) grandkids. Unfortunately most live on the other side of the country.
In addition to my job as a weather forecaster (which is awesome btw), I also enjoy hiking, reading, and obviously taking pictures.
I’m not sure how this project is going to evolve. But if you like what you see, I hope you’ll leave a comment from time to time and if you really like it, maybe share it with others.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. if your inbox is too full, I’d actually be just as happy if you considered following me on Notes: https://substack.com/@tmpic I’m not here to make money, or build clout. I just want good conversations.
