while wasting valuable time on pinterest the other night, i found this 30 day photography challenge. one purpose of starting this blog was to get more into photography. not as a full-on hobby or serious profession, just for fun. so i thought this would be cool to do.
problem: i sold my point-and-shoot to by an iPhone 4. still a wise pay off? of course! i love my iPhone and I've found a handful of camera apps that have really been useful. that way, i don't have to upload my pictures to my mac and edit or retouch or whatever.
problem – the sequel: remembering to actually open those apps so that at opportune moments, i can click away.
case in point: last friday, i went out to the mall, dinner and dessert with friends. we ate at a fairly high end restaurant with dim mood lighting, beautiful decor and pretty decent food (plated nicely, not so good flavor-wise). we had a great time, but did i take pictures?
naw.
not even when one of my friends broke out his dslr and took pictures of all of us outside the restaurant. there i was, posing, iPhone in hand. no camera app open. not even thinking about taking pictures too.
after dinner, we hit a frozen yogurt joint that was close by. only then, while looking at the horrible typesetting on their menus and advertisements, did i even think about taking pictures. and then, i only took 3 (>_<). and i wasn't in any of them.
i'm going to try my hardest to stick to this challenge. even when taking a picture feels awkward, i'm just going to do it and get over it! and at the end of each week, i will post 7 days worth of photos. fingers crossed!
