In light of all the sadness, cruelty, and just plain craziness going on in the world, I've been thinking... Why can't we all just get along? Yes, I know that sounds cheesy; but, it's still a valid question. Why do so many people spend so much time fighting and arguing over each other's differences? Why can't we just embrace them, celebrate them? It's our differences that make us unique and interesting. Perhaps we should spend more time raising each other up so we can all enjoy a good quality of life instead of pushing each other down just to make ourselves feel more important.
Perhaps if everyone put all that negative energy into something creative, we could all make the world a nicer place... or at least a more artistic and colourful one! :)
So, with this in mind, I am starting a 52 week photo challenge. For this challenge, I'll be taking a picture of something new every week. It won't be based on anything I do with clients... it's just for me and just for fun. It's a way for me to improve some of my photographic skills I may not use very often. Very rarely will it involve portraits and it may turn out to be a complete flop; but, hopefully I'll learn something new along the way. Here's my first picture of the challenge... yes, that's my dog Sophie! She's cute, isn't she?!?!
And, speaking of new things... To help myself learn some new technology, I'll be putting a new picture every week and posting it on my brand new Instagram account (I hear that's what all the kids are using now-a-days). So, feel free to follow along by clicking here.
Yes, this blog post is a bit of a rant and I know that words and pictures alone will not change anything... but you never know, right?
