LUMILUX

Lumilux is a photoblog, or a daily collection of "analog" or digital photography. One photo is published each day; usually the photo was taken less than a week ago, but sometimes an older one is grabbed from the master archive. The name "Lumilux" was inspired by the suggestions of Ray McKenzie. The first photo on Lumilux was published on September 16th, 2005.
