365

I decided to set out a few challenges for myself this year.  No, not Resolutions, but challenges.  I think I have started and stopped a 365 project about five times over the years. I forget one day and then the whole thing just petters off.  Well, I have kept up with it for 33 days and I am pretty proud of myself.

A bunch of my photos are later in the evening because I only remembered at the end of the day, so now I have set an alarm on my phone so that I will be reminded while there is still sunshine out and I can be sure to stop and capture a photo.  Some photos will be from shoots, just because I don’t always take other photos on those days for obvious reasons. And last of all some are from my phone because sometimes that is all I have with me when I think of it.  I am not very good at shooting with my phone, but I hope to get better this year, hope is the key word.  Something about not looking through a viewfinder drives me crazy.

Here is a mosaic of my photos so far, a couple are missing because they are on my phone and it was a big enough challenge today to find them all and add them here for you to see.

365 - Month 1

In addition to this challenge, I have joined with a few other Ladies with cameras to pull out our old film SLR’s and try out a few rolls.  I am almost through my first roll and am looking forward to seeing what comes out of the camera.  Having shot film for most of my life, it is strange to go back after digital and deem whether something is film worthy or not.  I am not ‘cheating’ as in I am not setting up a shot with my digital camera first then shooting it with film, although I am tempted to. I am going straight for the old fashion, set it all up and shoot with film. Who knows perhaps I will start carrying my film camera with me on other shoots as an added bonus.

And please take a look at my new fabulous banner!!  Secret Agent Josephine did it again and captured myself with Apple and J in an illo.  I just love it to pieces. Thank you Brenda!! If you are looking for a new banner for your own blog I highly recommend her talent. I will admit that I had a little trouble with the blue stripe and my menu not lining up properly, I tried and I tried but I just couldn’t fix that part. I will get it fixed, when I have a little more free time.
