Many happy returns on DDOI's first birthday.

The collage is fantastic! Keep up the good work.

Posted by Lyle at July 9, 2004 02:40 AM

You've been a daily visit and as a result, inspiration to me for a while now, although I've not commented on your site before.

You have an exceptional eye, and the technical ability to back that up and while I don't envy your bandwidth costs, your popularity is very much deserved.

Here's to year 2 and beyond!

hey sam!

congratulations on the one year of ddoi, it's a fantastic site and you constantly show your skill and talent at imagery.

cheers :)

Posted by sanam at July 9, 2004 08:38 AM

Congrats Sam on 1 year of photos. I happy to have been an observer from the beginning of each of your photos. Having lived in and around Toronto for almost all of my life, you always manage to show a view of the city that is totally unique (in addition to other global locales). It's admirable that you've been able to deliver something new each day and stick with it. Here's to many more daily doses.

congrats sam!

and btw, your bandwidth use...thats a big ouch.

Posted by halo | veritech pilot at July 9, 2004 10:04 AM

Where's that Flash magnifier when you need it? Or how about an image map that takes you to the original photos?

Posted by Kevin at July 9, 2004 10:09 AM

Greeting and many thanks for the awesome daily inspiration.

One day I'm going to get my pics as crisp and well balanced as yours. Looking forward to another year.

Happy Birthday!!

Posted by Clarence at July 9, 2004 10:50 AM

Just THANK YOU for sharing with us so many moments...
great job, you're the first site i visit every morning.

Posted by garfieldd at July 9, 2004 10:55 AM

Congratulations, Sam! This is the first place I visit when I turn on my computer in the morning, and this site has also provided inspiration for setting up my own photoblog -- so thank you! Also, excellent job on the collage. :)

Posted by Carrie at July 9, 2004 11:01 AM

Well Sam, aren't you Mr. Popularity! Congrats on your first year - happy anniversary! People from all over the world are gushing over your site... and you deserve it. Keep it coming, and thanks for giving us these daily doses of imagery.

Posted by Scott Murdoch at July 9, 2004 11:14 AM

Congrats, Sam, and thanks. You're one of the biggest reasons I started own site. Now, after five months of daily posting, in addition to appreciating your great pictures, I have some appreciation for the incredible amount of work involved in getting that picture up every day.

I hope the site remains around for many years.

Posted by Mark at July 9, 2004 11:27 AM

I was introduced to your site a few weeks ago and am now addicted! I'm not a photographer, but you have inspired and reminded me to continually look at this amazing world we live in with new eyes. There is beauty everywhere, if we look for it. God is in the details as well as the big picture! I also appreciate the unique tours of Toronto, a city I thought I knew well before viewing it through your lens! Thanks for sharing your insight and work. Keep it up!

Posted by saku at July 9, 2004 11:38 AM

Really, the stats were unnecessary.

Posted by me at July 9, 2004 12:01 PM

i've never commented before, but i've been following your site for the year. i think your photos are incredible, and i want to thank you for the inspiration. i'm sixteen, and i'm starting a two year course in photography at college thanks to influences like you.
well done, thanks, and keep it up man.

Posted by tom at July 9, 2004 12:02 PM

Congrats, sir! I enjoy your shots every single day. Keep up the good work, and here's to many more years of the same!

I will soon have my own daily photoblog up and running. You are one muse of many for that project. Thanks. :)

Posted by Seth Thomas Rasmussen at July 9, 2004 01:21 PM

congratulations! I wish you the best of luck for next year, and please keep making Toronto beatuiful.

I also think the Toronto star article brought people - that's why I'm here. As for polls, I'd be curious to see an age demographic for this, as I'm curious to know how many other teens visit.

Finally, I took a look at the buggie pic and thought it was great. You should try and sell it for a comercial - i'd buy a car in one of your pictures.

Keep up the good work. Greetz from a daily visitor from Holland.

Your Mind and Heart are much much wider than 750px. Thanks a lot for sharing them with us.
This blog is really inspiring [trust me!] and it's something that these days happens so rarely, specially in visual products.
Keep it up and UP.

Congratulation Sam!

Today's post and the other informational staff are great.

At the first sight I tought today's post is what was posted on the cover page of Toronto Star art section about your photoblog, a few months ago.

Wish to see the milestone anniversaries of your site...

Posted by Dominic Poon at July 10, 2004 01:43 PM

Excellent blog! The only suggestion I have is to make this collage clickable to jump into the original post/full size photo. Keep it up!

Posted by eu at July 10, 2004 03:03 PM

Happy BDay

Posted by Behr.o0o.z at July 10, 2004 03:35 PM

Wonderful photos and project! I'm hooked and am glad to know that DDOI will continue.

Thanks for sharing & creating this blog.

Posted by Serene at July 11, 2004 09:49 AM

Dude! As a Toronto expat living in Helsinki, I check this site EVERY DAY. You always have the real TO, the stuff I would never be able to get anywhere else.

A question for you: now that you can see all of your images together in a collage, does it strike you that certain colours or moods or methods are very you? Does it give you a sense of something to work against, or is it just very comforting?

Posted by johanna at July 12, 2004 02:53 AM

Congrats Sam, I hope (For our sake) that you keep DDOI going for many more years to come.
