Last week, I discovered a cool Instagram “photo a day” project. I was posting a picture of one of my many Depeche Mode records, with the hashtag #vinyl and #record, and received a like from Noble Record Store (a record store on ebay). After checking out some their pictures, I found a list for the January Record A Day that started on the forums of The Vinyl Collective, a community for vinyl collectors. I love this photo a day project because it allows me to share my vinyl collection, and see the collections of many record enthusiasts out there.
If you’re a collector of vinyl, join in the fun by following the themes above and hastagging #januaryrecordaday on Instagram. Hopefully, they carry this on throughout the year! I’ll post recaps throughout the month. In the meantime, below are my first four days of photos. Cheers!
