The Photography Kick

Photos
If you're following me on Twitter, you very well know that I post pictures ... a lot.

This has been in me for awhile, since I've been a kid actually. I've always had this need to record the world around me, originally limited by the physical object of film, but let loose when I got my first digital camera, a Sony Cybershot.

No matter what, if I went somewhere distant, or just was in the mood, I had that camera on hand, and was taking shots of things. Sometimes plants around the house, sometimes of some family event, but it always found a way in.

Like this shot (it's been PicPlz'd). I still remember taking that in April of '03, finding it while sitting in the passanger's seat while heading to Idaho, & swearing it looked like the XP wallpaper.

Anyway, photography has always been in my life in some form, toying around with cameras, most shots of not truly shareable quality in my book, but tied to memories unlike anything else I own.

So, circle this back to today, and my photography kick has a rebirth: Mostly365

Take a photo a day for an entire year and share it with the world. Simple, right?

It started with a shoe & a want to improve. It's been followed by completing 103 of 177 days so far, 459 uploads to PicPlz, & just under 9800 photos taken.

It's something to truly rack your mind around. 9800 photos. That's ~82 a day.

The further I get into this project, the more optimistic I've become that my abilities are improving, but the more I find myself stuck at a brick wall for ideas.

Nonetheless, that photo bug still lives on. It's only June and I have around six months worth of photos left to take. How will I do it? No clue.

Two One Ways?

Yes, it is correct, but still, two one ways on one corner? #seattle

Quick picture from today’s extended bike ride. I’m thinking I need a new camera, it’s low light capabilities are horrid.
