On October 2, 1950, Peanuts premiered in seven newspapers, ultimately reaching 2600 with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries. My office is filled with Snoopy memorabilia, including a birthday card that Mr. Schulz sent me many years ago. We can learn a lot about creativity from a man who sat down and faced a blank sheet of paper every day for 50 years and had to come up with a new idea. Last year I tried a picture-a-day project and was surprised how difficult it was, but also found that it was a great way to stimulate creativity. In 2013, I'll begin a similar project, this time using Tumblr (www.tumblr.com) because it's free and the simplest way I know to create a photoblog. To get you inspired, I've rounded up four different photo-a-day blogs to show the diverse ways these talented photographers created their sites and blogs. Give it a try because it forces you to think—every day—about making new photographs. And the best way to improve your skills is to practice, practice, practice.
