the process of discovering...

I have been working on a 365 project with some friends over on flickr.  We started on January 1st and plan to go on with it until December 31st.  

It's been really a strange trip for me.  Both enlightening and nervewracking at the same time.  I made it a personal challenge to be creative every day.  And by creative I mean to challenge myself to make it interesting to the viewer as well as to myself.  (In other words, no snapshots)  

I've faultered on this a few times already, and I've found that my personal creativity needs booster shots on a regular basis to continue this.  (I went the whole week without shooting one because I literally had no ideas.)  It's made me really realize that there has to be a trigger of some kind in my brain that sets the wheels in motion.

So a new challenge?  To find that trigger.

Happy Thursday everyone!  Thanks for taking the time to visit...it's nice to see the numbers going up.  I promise to do my best to keep it interesting!

the new frontier...

I am constantly trying to keep up with the technological world.  I think I'm almost there and they change all the rules.  It's scary and exciting all at the same time.  At some point, someone in the world convinced me that I had to have a web presence.

So I do.  Sort of.  I have one that goes in and out of updatedness.  I'm in an 'in' stage right now.  I'm working on this, and the website, I'm actually twittering for 2 weeks to give it a real try, and I'm reading everything I can on marketing on the web.  (which is FULL of contradictions might I add?)

Anyway, you guys are checking this out, which I appreciate more than you know.  You don't have to comment, but I'd love it if you'd just give me a bit of feedback on how things are going.  And leave a link so I can come say hello!  :)

Anyway, it's Friday...Yay!  I have a ton of work to do, so I'll leave you to your day.  I hope it's amazing!

the wonder of it all....

This is from one of the two dogwood bushes I have that are ready to burst into bloom.  There were two times that I thought they were gone.  They died back to nothing...I moved them, they struggled and looked horrible.  Then last year they came back with avengence.

I'm kind of using them for a metaphore for life these days.  I mean if they can come back from death I can come back from anything..

right?

Happy Friday!!
