Initially my Picture Project was going to consist of taking a picture a day and uploading it on here and my flickr stream - http://www.flickr.com/photos/rachelnbond/. After just a little over a month, I realized this just wasn't going to happen. Every day I would search for something new and interesting to take a picture of, which seemed to just get harder and harder. My days are pretty routine - go to work, go home. Weekends were a lot easier, but what about the other 5 days ?!? It didn't help that the days were still pretty short and it was dark by the time I got home everyday. I began to resent getting my camera out, just to photograph something silly just so I could say I took a picture. And then I would have to post it for anyone to see, and I would be slightly embarrassed. So I just stopped taking my camera out, and I stopped posting daily pictures.
I would still whip out my camera if something inspired me or if a photo opp presented itself. I began to start going through my archives on my laptop, and edit ones I never got to, which made me happy. I finally had time to do that since I began the "project." I just needed a little break! So now the pressure was off and photography was back on :) I plan on going back and uploading some pictures from the past month (you can see what I have been up to by going to my flickr stream). They might be a picture I took last year, or it might be a flower that just bloomed today. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
