"Today's picture" informally begun sometime in 2002. At that time I was experimenting with my digicam which had become a sort of "third eye".
I soon found I was living in a very surreal world and I couldn't resist the temptation of sharing my views with friends so I started sending pictures by e-mail.

My friends would not only reply with an occasional comment but they would also send back their pictures, poems or thoughts somehow related to the picture I had sent.
In june 2003 I decided to formalise this dialog by sending one picture everyday....a picture taken that same day or the day before, and when that would not be possible, I'd pick one from my own files according to the mood of the day. The mailing list grew and when we went over 50, I called my old pal Fernando, webmaster at La Bisagra. Fernando not only answered my distress call but he actually designed a whole system for sending Today's picture to an unlimited number of subscribers.

In june last year we've made our first aniversary and this project doesn't seem to slow down. On the contrary, it has become an essential component of my daily life. I could say the same about fernando who still is the one who actually sets everything up every day so you can get your picture, rain or shine.
