Thanks mate
I'm starting to hit that plateau, I suspect that these next few weeks will be the deciding factor as to if this challenge evolves into challenge 1000 or not as it's just past half way now I saw your most recent Toki photo, he is getting big
love to see Toki and looked like the kids of Korea love him too from the out and about photo Matt

I have to agree about plateauing. I was all prepared to do 1000+ days, but in the end, I was glad when I finished my 2nd year and stopped shooting every single day! I found that I wasn't enjoying photography as much when I couldn't take a day off! I'm back to shooting everyday now though, just without a "challenge" to follow which is nice.
He is getting huge, currently sat in my classroom in fact! I am trying to take as many Toki shots as I can because I'll have to give him away soon enough. Not looking forward to that day, but he has been a fun pet for the last year or so.

See the thing is I'm still enjoying the every day aspect at the moment but having said that I think that the biggest concern to me is my photo's becoming too predictable yet there is only so much that you can take photo's of :shrug:
I've noticed that he has got big when you look through all the photo's, it's a shame that your going to have to give him up, I take it that your going to be moving on from Korea?
Matt
Yep I found a similar issue with a lack of new subjects going to the same job and living in the same place, but it can be done, just adds more fun to the challenge. 
Yes sadly we'll have to leave him behind. He is going to live with a nice family though so will be well looked after. I leave Korea in August to travel around Asia for about 4-5 months, then hopefully moving to the USA in 2013.

Sounds exciting
and lot's of new photo opportunities but going to be a shame to be saying goodbye to Toki 
I'm just going to have to get more creative
to find those new opportunities Matt

Day 153 - Change-ing Face's
Today I had the idea to show of the changing face of the queen over her reign for a coin minted to celebrate her coronation right up to a recent design

To be honest I am thinking of a way to improve this and can think of a couple of things that I would like to improve

Thanks Ben, I had the idea earlier in the day and had to have a good sort thought to find the right coins
I think that I'll re-shoot it in the future as I think it would be better if I could shoot it to make all the coins the same size

Good idea for a sequence. I wonder how many people actually notice things like this! I would never have thought of scrutinising my loose change. Maybe there's a follow up here with stamps?
Cheers
Bob
When I get my tubes I might try the same with the Spanish euros!!

If I had some older stamps then I'd certainly consider giving that a go :thumb: I'm sure you'll enjoy your tubes once you've got them I know I have a lot of fun when I use them

Day 154 - From a flat
Well not exactly what I was thinking of when it came to my photo for to day, but a flat tyre and the fact that VW seem to think that it's appropriate not to include a spare on a car with a list price of £25k

Thanks Vince, the flat is a PITA but that's only been multiplied by the fact that on going out this afternoon to use my other car, that I confess I only use when I need it and it had a flat battery, when putting on my jump starter, the battery must have been dead for a week or so and the security systems have locked me out by disabling the engine :bang: :bang: :bang:
I really should take my POTD for today, thankfully I already know what it is going to be

Sound's like fun
I was half expecting to see photo's from London from you I was going to go down myself but for the aforementioned car issues over the last 24hrs, I'm sure my doctors at St. Thomas' would have let me park on south bank like they normally do Matt

Day 155 - A Diamond Day
With today being the Diamond Jubilee I had to do something that represented that event, while a few day's ago this small solid gold coin arrived in the post but I though that I'd save it till today to take photo's of it for my challenge....

to be honest it's been a day of flat's I have two cars, one has a flat tyre the other one has a flat battery, a real pain in the ass and it had to happen on a double bank holiday weekend I've still got to figure out how to sort out my flat tyre since VW don't do spare tyres anymore and the tyre is trashed as I didn't realise I had a flat for about a mile at least, flipping front wheel drives with a rear puncture though that may just be me being used to driving either rear or all wheel drives :bang:Matt
