So this is a beginning of sorts. Maybe introductions are in order. I will be as succinct as possible here.
My intentions.
I am going to try to take one picture every day this year and write a little. I am also going to try to streamline this whole thing by only taking one draft/picture every day (no multiple attempts and massive editing). And I promise that whatever picture I post will be taken that day... no hoarding pictures and then releasing them.
I hope that this will help me to think before hand and not spend forever trying to edit out mistakes. Mistakes happen, I intend to let them.
My Writing.
So this is me. One solid year of photos and thoughts. I have ideas for this, some of them are kind of crazy and will ask for a bit of bravery. Some might be boring. I guess I am equal parts both so it is to be expected.
My Goal.
Why would I tie myself to something like this? Well, I have seen a couple of these done in the past and I just love the outcome. One solid year of my life, with all of the ups and downs recorded nicely here. I want to tap into some creativity here. I have been feeling a little dry and I want to flow again. I want to be honest, so you can expect that. I am 40, and I am feeling maybe a little melancholy. I am hoping to gather my thoughts and this seems like an exciting way to do that.

ReplyDeleteI got a new lens from Santa. I am trying to learn how to use it. It's an Canon EF 85 mm f1.8 USM. Prime lens, not used to the fixed focal length. I am trying to prioritize a bit more time for
creativity in my life in 2012.
