For two years, I had a daily photo project going. I made myself shoot every day, and I would post the day's pic on a blog, to keep myself honest. Not only was that a great way to learn the mechanics of photography, it was a great creative exercise, too. Some days, it's nearly impossible to come up with something to photograph... and having to get creative yielded some fun results at times. I've let that project go, in order to concentrate on some other things, but I miss the routine of it, and the steady progress & feedback. It also became a great journal of our life during that time, but that's beside the photography point.
I'm reading everyone else's ideas with interest. I'd like to find another regimen to latch onto for a while... :) -c On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 2:50 AM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > On another photo forum I occasionally hang out on, someone posted "What are > your pet peeves in photography that you see other photographers do?", and > boy was there a lot of responses of people gleefully putting others down.
