A little late for a New Year's resolution, this is just a project I'm taking on. I was inspired by Noah Scalin's blog - 365: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life. Not that my life needs changing...but let's stay open to possibilities, shall we?
I am known to make grand goals and have big ideas (BI's), but my follow through can lag behind and leave me and my ideas wanting. (My partner often says, "Keep thinking, Jules, that's what you do best.") So I'm doing this publicly to keep me honest and get more into the doing.
For this grand goal of documenting something for a year, I chose details because when I'm harried or busy, my physical surroundings tend to turn into a blur. I want to take the time every day to notice and appreciate small things around me. Photography is my medium of choice because I love the macro function on my camera, and I hope to practice and hone my photographic skills. One of my recent BI's was to take a $10,000 documentary photo class. By way of talking me down, my incredibly supportive partner said I already have a good photographic eye and I don't need no stinkin' $10K class (I'm paraphrasing). So here's my chance to school myself.
All photos will be taken with my Nikon Coolpix S640 digital camera (most using the macro function) and edited in iPhoto. Maybe not low-tech, but medium-tech. Nothing too fancy.
Wish me luck!
