For the last couple of days it has been hard to keep up with a-picture-a-day thing I have got going on because we had a major snow storm and I haven’t really been out. But tomorrow is Monday and I’ll be seeing more of the outside, which will give me opportunities to take pictures of things I don’t find very interesting at first but when I switch my camera on I start looking at things from a different eye.

I recently adopted this cat from the local SPCA, she is 6 months old and sure is frisky. I haven’t named her yet, maybe I will name her Frisky unless I can think of a better name, any suggestions? She was playing with that strap with I took the picture, she wouldn’t let go of it. She is really playful and in the heat of the moment tries to bite my finger when I am playing with her. I have to stop and say “no biting”, she stops and gives me this look than goes to lick herself.

I am starting a personal growth project today, nothing fancy mind you. My aim is to post a photo a day for a year. Why? Because it will be fun, it will give me a chance to see how my photography skillz have improved over the year and I could also use the photos as a diary of sorts to find out what I was doing that day. I will probably take multiple photos over the course of each day and post one lucky photo on Flickr. It will be posted on Flickr and linked over here. If you are bored on lunch break at work and want to browse my photos you should be able to find a link to my Flickr photos all over this blog, if not, there is always a link on top of the page.

I got a chance to visit Woolaroc this Thanksgiving holiday and it was well worth the trip. The weather was amazing, batteries were charged for my camera and I was ready to snap to my hearts content. Since I was alone, I took my time trying to compose each and every picture. How can I describe the pictures? You will have to see for yourself how much fun it was taking the pictures as it is looking at them. You can see some of them here.

Looking at the wagon, I just stood there thinking what all places the wagon had been in her lifetime until she was laid to rest at a local park for people to see. The wagon has seen many seasons since the turn of the last century and it just makes me wonder about the history that is standing right in front of me.

Here’s a new craze that is all over the Internet right now. It’s called Tilt-Shift effect and you need expensive lens for your camera to do it. Ahh, who’s got that sort of money. Or you can just use Photoshop CS. If done right, this effect make things appear miniature compared to their surroundings.

Sunsets can be so soothing, lucky for me (and you, if you like sunsets) I had my camera with me so I can share this beautiful natural phenomenon with you, enjoy.

Once in a while I get the urge to make something in Photoshop but usually I am not sure what to do, I just wanna do something. Which means no planning beforehand because I really don’t know what I am making. I just sit there staring at the blank new page that I opened in Photoshop and wonder what I can do. I like editing photos that I take but right now I don’t have a digital camera so that is pretty much out of the question. So I lean towards something abstract, meaning basically nothing. A little of nothing on this layer, a little of it on the other, throw in some colors and it starts to look cool. That is usually the time when it hits me: “hmm, I should do this”. And at last I end up with something that my brain interprets as: “I like where this is going”.
I don’t consider myself very creative but I think there is always something deep inside my thoughts that brings out a tiny bit of creativity out of me. The catch is to take that and make something out of it before it ceases to exist. That is the hardest part; to take it from your thoughts and materialize it. Some people giveup over there, some struggle to make something out of it, like me. And some know exactly what to do, those are the people labeled by society as creative.
