Hello. Journal.
It has been a while. I'm sure you feel neglected since it's been about six months since I've written anything here. I need to get some thoughts out, so, I'm going to try to visit more often. But - on a slightly lighter note. Here's an idea I've been mulling over lately:
So I have a decent little snapshot camera that I usually carry around, but I do not use near often enough. One week (or maybe longer depending) this summer I want to end every day with one picture on that camera. The "challenge" if you will, comes with only taking one picture - so it's deciding if something you've witnessed is worth capturing, or if you think something better might happen a little later in the day. Once the days picture is taken another can't replace it no matter how interesting it is. (I guess if it's a once in a lifetime photo op an exception could be made)
At the end of the day, I plan to post the picture somewhere and try to narrate the thoughts that drove me to choose that particular moment for the day. The hope is that it will help focus my ideas on the world and force me to think about something other than work, dinner, house cleaning... at least for a few minutes each day.
If any of you out there still follow LJ, and have a camera at your disposal... feel free to play along. I might even wait a week or two to see if I can get a couple other participants.
