take more photographs

...and decided on a whim to take my camera. I wound up taking a couple of shots that I was pretty happy with. I’m trying to talk myself out of feeling silly for pulling out my camera in the middle of the sidewalk. Also, if I were carrying around an SLR it might make it seem a bit more legit, but I’m just working with a little digital point-and-shoot. Still, I’m trying to get better at saying the hell with everyone else.

Here’s a confession: I once took a photography class, and throughout the whole thing I didn’t take one single solitary photograph.

This goal is meant to be a general one, not “take more arty pictures” or anything like that. Just pictures in general, of things, places, family, friends, etc. But two things I’d really like to do more is use my 35mm Olympus and my Holga. I dusted off my Olympus the other day and read through the manual, and I think I get it now. So here’s to a beautiful spring documented with (hopefully) beautiful photographs.
