When I was reading over this week’s assignments, I was so excited to complete the Photo a Day assignment! I love taking photographs of my daughters and my dog and just about anything really. I have pictures everywhere…my walls, my desk, my computer, and my many, many photo albums and scrapbooks! After reading the information on the 365 Day Photo Challenge, I was even more excited to begin! What a great way to capture your life for a year….or in this case, a week! I used both a cell phone and digital camera for this challenge. At first, I was unsure how to house all of these photos on one URL, but after reading the 365 Day Photo Challenge information, I noticed a link for Flickr. I have heard of Flickr before, but I really had no idea what it was. After clicking on this website, it was very easy to sign up and upload my photos. I can see how this would be a great site for both professional and personal lives!
As I was contemplating possible subjects to photograph, I was unsure if I wanted to share photos of my teenage daughters since Flickr stated
that they could be seen by everyone, but I found my way around that (the backs of them)! I found myself capturing things that
were important to me, almost like telling a photo story of my life for the
week. Not only did I try to concentrate
on the “big” things in my life (my daughters and my dog), I found
myself focusing on the “small” things (raindrops on a flower petal, rings made
by the rain in a puddle, etc.) that are also important and often go
unnoticed. At the end of this week, it
was interesting to go back and see what I had photographed. From the “big” things to the “small” things,
this challenge was definitely a fun way to journal the things around me that
mean the most. I am actually going to
continue this assignment to see where it leads me, and I am going to encourage
my daughters to do the same!
