| Name: | A Photo Every Day |
|---|
This is a Photo Journal. One simple snapshot view of my life... a new photo taken every single day.
Main Entry: snap·shot
Pronunciation: 'snap-"shät
Function: noun
1 : a casual photograph made typically by an amateur with a small handheld camera
2 : an impression or view of something brief or transitory
One new photo each day, no more no less. Captions will typically be brief. This is an attempt to incorporate a tiny little bit of creativity into my daily thinking - the challenge for me is to snap a worthy photo every single day, and to resist the temptation to post a previously taken photograph instead. If I were not to constrain myself to using a new photo taken each day, the overall photo quality might be higher, but these rules make this project more challenging for me, and the result should be a more narrative slice of my life for anyone who stops by to peek. The point is to use snapshots, so no photo-editing or filtering is ever employed except for cropping and resizing, and very occasional basic brightness adjustment. I will occasionally be traveling, or otherwise not have access to a computer (it can happen), on those days backdated photos that were taken each day will be belatedly posted.
I should warn you, my life is frequently boring. Comments are always appreciated! ...and there is no need to ask first if you would like to have this journal included on your Friend's page.
Background for the curious:I started this journal while I was a foreigner living and working in South Korea, (I was not there to teach English, and I am not in the military). Summer 2006 I accepted another overseas assignment to Brisbane, Australia. Will Brisbane yield as many unique snapshot opportunities as Korea?
I have lived in seven cities in four countries in the past nine years. I travel frequently for work, and as often as I can manage for fun. I hike often, and I kayak as the weather allows.
Please don't reuse these photos without my permission, just comment and ask!
