Photo-a-Day Still Occuring Daily
Apr 16th
My Photo-a-Day project passed the hundred day mark a week ago. The hardest part has been letting myself take an uninspired photo, or a week’s worth of uninspired photos, and not beat myself up for it. Where does the instinct to improve through self-criticism come from? “Maybe if I keep calling myself a crapster photographer, I’ll turn into a master photographer!”
What’s sick is that I know berating myself is mentally unhealthy…which sometimes results in me beating myself up for beating myself up. My neuroses are self-aware and like to fight with each other.
On the plus side, taking a photo a day has helped me see patterns in how I view the world that I wasn’t conscious of before. The project has also been good motivation to work on my Photoshop skills. I enjoy learning the program and knowing I can turn a bland photos into something half-decent keeps me from getting too frustrated.
As for photos, there’s not much recently I’ve taken that I’ve been proud of, but I do like this one from the field by National Airport. I also tried a new Photoshop technique on an old photo that turned out pretty well (before | after).

My periodic photography bug is back. It returned right after the thought, “Man, I need to write some more.” Not if I can distract myself, sucker!
I’ve been digging through my photos last year and uploading some. Roundup:
* A few days after Obama won the election, a temporary wall was erected by the Lincoln Memorial for people to write messages to Obama. I took photos of some of the more interesting messages.

If you read Digg, you probably have seen this already. Don’t ask the Internet for help.

If this isn’t funny, keep in mind I came up with the idea while I was drunk:

If God smelled like poop, would we wear diapers? What about the rest of God’s creatures, like prairie dogs? (please refrain from mocking my Photoshop skillz)
