I have been putting it off too.  I'm thinking about doing it a bit 
differently - for about a week I took pictures of a tree in my yard as it 
leafed out.  Hopefully all these pictures will line up on top of each 
other.  I'm not sure what I want to do with it once I have them stacked up 
though, maybe go from side to side,  or maybe in increments from the middle 
out, or some other way.  I've been putting it off because the thought of 
lining all those layers up is really intimidating me.  Plus the pictures I 
didn't get on disk I still have to scan (I used my 35mm instead of the 
digital) and in order to use my scanner I have to pop over into that other 
0$.  Excuses, excuses.
