...today, a lesson

Important learning today...my role it is to take photos...not to judge..either my subjects or my pics.  I am using this project as a way to improve my photography...to explore a place I love...to tell a story.  I will make mistakes (like yesterday's overexposed photos) and hopefully learn from these mistakes but  if I get to precious I will miss the shot...if I start thinking to much about the subject...I will miss the shot...I will always aim for the perfect photo but ...better to capture the moment than miss it because of  fear.

...research

Have been reading a book called '30 Minute Social Media Marketing' by Susan Gunelius.  Big section on blogging. Susan recommends research ...looking at other blogs...know your subject etc...so last night I decided to watch Julie & Julia (recommended by everyone when they hear about my blog!) ...probably not the type of research that Susan had in mind but helpful just the same.  I have avoided this flick as I thought it was about cooking...not my thing...but it is also a great insight into blogging.  Maybe I should have watched it before committing to this project!!
