So, gay marriage is legal in CA, and now all of a sudden there’s this little ballot measure which aims to constitutionally ban same-sex marriages in CA.

If you have free time and are a Californian, please go here to sign up to make calls and phonebank against the proposition.

I wouldn’t ask that you do this, normally — I am not one to shove politics down someone else’s throat. However, those in favor of Prop 8, mostly conservative Christians who belong to organized religions with lots and lots of money, are rallying troops from everywhere, even out of state. This is unacceptable, as this is California’s election.

So, if you have the time, please donate some of it and make a few calls to just get in people’s heads.

So, in my endless pursuit of becoming a great photographer, I’ve come into contact with people who have talent, brains, an eye, “that touch…” Whatever you call it, I’ve met some really, truly awesome people. One of these people is a fantastic gal by the name of Dottie. Dottie is talented. Really talented. (Go look for yourself: her new site just launched yesterday!) She and I were having a conversation about what makes or breaks a photographer, particularly in the web 2.0 world. It was mentioned that she didn’t have serious followers until she started her 365 project. That got my gears grinding.

If you aren’t new to the site (and chances are, if you’re one of the two people who is reading this, you aren’t) then you’ll remember I had a 365 project going a while back. It lasted for, oh, fifteen days. That left me with 350 days to go. That seriously ain’t cool.

Now, I already done gone and removed the photos, removed the posts, erased it from my memory — *zap!* and yours — and pretty much decided to give myself a fresh start. But, a major question lingers: Should I start a 365 project about me, where you see a picture I took of myself each day? Should I just take a picture of anything, regardless of subject, and post that every day? Should I go through my stock photos and post pictures which may not have made it to the flickr account but need a breath of fresh air? I just don’t know. I don’t know, I tell you!

So, I ask you, dear reader, what should I do?

I checked my e-mail on my phone to find that I had received my first registered user - someone wants to comment on my blog! So excited, my web 2.0 presence may be growing by the second!!

So, I log in and see who the registered user is: someone with the e-mail address of adolfodaine77@gmail.com and a username of adol77dai51. The name didn’t ring any bells, but I figured, “Well, I’ve been pimping my blog pretty hardcore through sites like gay.com, who knows, maybe someone haphazardly came across my blog and liked what I put in it so far (cuz it’s sooooo much) and registered!”

Then, a google search of the e-mail address. What shows up? Other bloggers listing this Adolfo Daine, man of mystery and possible spambot, as their first registered user.

After a sigh and a chuckle, I salute you, Mr. Adolfo Daine, whoever you are,  for being my first registered user. Try one single spam trick with me and you’ll be fucking deleted.
