February 2011 Photo Hunt Challenge

I'm wondering if signing up for this month's challenge is a good idea. I barely have enough time to do the necessary things, let alone any extra ones. But I've really missed doing the challenges and taking pictures in general. So here is the list if anyone else is interested...

Oh, and if you're interested in signing up too, visit this website.

Back to Blogger

I've come to realize that I don't really care for wordpress. So I'm back here again. (Good thing I never got around to deleting this blog yet, huh?)

Anyway, I know for sure that I will not be completely October's Challenge. I've just been so swamped with school and other stuff. I'm a little bummed, but with there being a challenge in November, December, and January... I'm sure that will more than make up for skipping out this month.

MOVING... To a New URL

I finally did it. I am moving to a new URL. Not for reasons I was planning on doing so before, but because it's too much work trying to keep up with more than one blog. I have now merged my blogs together so I only have to worry about posting in one place.

Come visit me at my new {URL} home!

New Approach to Taking Photos

I was thinking about this the other day, and even mentioned it to a friend... I take much better pictures when I don't "plan" them. For example, the photo I got for August's challenge of light was simply on accident. I mean, I was trying to get a shot of those lanterns, but the way it came out was far better than it looked not through the camera lens. And, in my head, the photo for something feminine was completely different that the one I actually got. (I ended up giving up the idea I had and went for something totally different).

So I guess it goes to show... planning your photos is not always the best idea. I'm really looking forward to the next challenge so I can not plan my photos and see what I come up with.

I knew going into this month's challenge that I wouldn't do as well as I would have hoped, and I was right. August is always a busy month (transitioning from end of summer to start of school), and has been even more busy than usual. Well, I suppose I can be happy that I at least finished...
