I appreciate your comments and I will check out Martins’ project.

I must say though I’ve been looking for other photo project blogs and not having much luck.

I’ll definitely be following yours. I appreciate failures, dead ends and ruminations as well as successes.

You’ve done a very nice job incorporating self-contained stories within your main blog. For me, there is no other personal blog, and in any case I want Sourdough Trail to be a self-contained project, especially as it’s rather large (one year?) enterprise. I’m sure there must be other, similar projects blogs out there, but the only one I know of is the Martin Doonan’s Processes of Nature photography blog.

I’ve also responded to your additional interesting remarks about structure over at Along Sourdough Trail.

I was intrigued by your comment “But my main question is whether you know of good examples of blogs devoted to specific projects.”

I generally have several projects all running concurrently (probably just like everyone else) with parts of each project just stuffed into one blog on a chronological basis. I sometimes build a compendium page to collect all related posts.

I’d be interested to know of your experiences on treatments of various projects and ways of combining them together.

Here is a link to my last completed project as a compendium page. I find the compendiums lose something and gain something. I haven’t really sat down to analyze the difference or try to optimize the presentation of either approach.

I have several other project compendiums in that blog that may be of interest as the approach in some is quite different.

I also noticed in doing my project blog thing, that I could not find good examples of others doing the same thing.

I know I would appreciate the vicarious experience of traveling along the path of other peoples projects.

I would also appreciate it if you have any sites that you could recommend.

I did not see your creature, although I definitely did have sort of a sense of creepiness. I think that was due to the jagged edges of the leaf, and the fact that it was dark against a lighter background, the reverse of my photograph.

It reminds me of the monsters I saw in some phtographs from my Ghost Light series, going back to my first A&P post. So yours is not the only mind that sees these things, in fact I think it’s almost a part of the brain, like face detection.

Mind you I do not take any substances except maybe a little hangover from red wine the previous night… this is purely my mind on daily basis…

Your Sourdough series is excellent.
