Playing my game...

I'm playing my game.  I am meeting my challenge.  So far.  The only thing is that I haven't figured out how to post the pictures the way I want to.  But I do have pictures from today and the day before.  I promise.  I'll be sharing soon.  They are definitely so mediocre and boring but I've just been playing with my ISO and F-stop (are those even the right terms) and other little things on my camera that I so rarely even touch.  New goal...in addition to my 30 day one...learn, read and research my camera and what it can do and how all of these things effect the picture.  Also figure out the best way to get pictures on Blogger.  Amen and goodnight.

Reviving A Dream

During my children's nap time this morning I found myself updating blogs and perusing new and old blogs to follow (and stop following).  I stumbled upon one that really inspired me as far as photography goes.  I found myself wanting to rededicate time and effort into pictures and developing my passion and/or talent for pictures further.  As an introduction into this idea I am going to complete a 30-day challenge of pictures...taking a picture for each day over a month.  Hopefully something that inspires me but I'm fine with cutesy or memorable too.  This will be my August and I hope it's an incredible experiment.

NEW (okay slightly borrowed) IDEA!!

Okay so since I don't actually do anything with this blog that I originally wanted to I'm going to try something else. I got these idea(s) off another blog and a group my sister belongs to on Facebook. The idea is to post new pictures...both just to have some fun and gain creativity (I hope) and to gain practice and experience. So....

I will be posting pictures hopefully on a weekly basis (blog idea...wordless Wednesdays) but maybe to be fair it might be twice a month (hey school and life keeps me busy). The idea is to take random words, phrases, sayings and take a picture that I feel represents this for me (facebook group idea). If you want to play along...then please just post a comment with your email and I will add you as an author to this blog (allowing you to post pictures and words/sayings). Hopefully this will be fun :)
