How to take more photos
It made me
 "The key is keeping a camera with you at all times."
How I did it: I purchased a Canon S5 (thank you fiscal stimulus check). Going digital you're bound to take more pictures in general. This makes it easier to get that 'wow' shot. If you really want to take more photos keep your camera with you at all times and document away! It was easier with my last camera which was the size of a deck of cards. My new camera seems so bulky but it takes great pics.

How I did it: I simply walked outside one day, steeling myself to spend the next twenty minutes (and three rolls of film) practicing my photography. Even though a lot of them didn't turn out very well, I came away with quite a few good looking ones that I am considering framing and hanging on my wall, as an achievement. Read how I did it…

I love photos!
How I did it: I started setting my camera in my purse and taking it wherever I go. I can look at things and just say, "That would make a beautiful picture." Now that I keep it handy and with me I capture moments that I may not get to see again or just capture the beauty that life throws before me. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started out with just a phone camera. Then I got a point-and-shoot digital camera (Nikon Coolpix) as a gift. After a bad breakup I resolved to do something to get my mind in a more positive space.In September '08, I got a DSLR, a Nikon D40x, and it is probably my most prized possession. It goes everywhere with me. I'm pretty much self-taught, but I am planning on taking a series of courses to become better at doi… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I bought a digital camera and at first I didn't use it much. Then we went on a holiday to Bali and I found out how easy it is to just snap snap snap away and then delete the photos you don't like afterwards. Now I keep my camera in my hand bag and I take photos of all the things I used to enjoy by myself and now I can share them with others. I have also started to scrapbook my photos so that the little bits of information that are often f… Read how I did it…

Found Art
3 weeks ago
There was a movement in the 1920s – 1930s which sought to find art in the common everyday occurances. Some of which included collages of materials found on the street.
As a photographer, I sometimes seek out common sights in the home or around the home.
Here is one from my ‘fridge. Not intentional juxtaposition: just happened.

My uncle was married to his wife for over fifty years: that is staying power.
He was lucky to die before the Altzheimers took her memory.
She couldn’t even recognize her children. She did talk to dead people – but that wasn’t much of a consolation to my cousins.

My parents generation endured the depression and the world in gratitude followed up with World War II.
No wonder they think we are wimps.

Why do we take photographs?
1 month ago
A friend of mine once said that the answer, the true answer, to any question lives at the end of the “five whys”. What she meant was that for any question you have to dig down an additional four layers to uncover the truth.
Q: Why do we take photographs?
Why 1: To capture a moment.
Why 2: To remember something special.
Why 3: Because we want to remember.
Why 4: Because we love the person or the scene.
Why 5: Because we are finite.
It certainly could be other “why’s” depending upon the person but the 5th why is never the same as the first why.
For me: it is the realization that we are finite and that I love the people or the scene that I photograph that forces me to keep a camera handy.
What are your five whys?

I was going over my list and realized I haven’t really done this yet so today i took random pictures around my house. It was kind of fun. Nothing spectacular but meaningful to me none the less. I have to remember to put my camera in my purse for this to be marked complete!
