I think so. Photos show the superficial. You don’t get to
see the thoughts, the before and the after. On the other hand they can be
pieces of art, carefully framed, pleasing to the eye... except when I’m behind
the camera. I’m very much a novice. If one of my photos is pleasingly framed,
it’ll be a complete accident but I’m working on my skills. I’ve just signed up
to the 365 Project which means that I’m posting a photo a day on this website.
I suppose the idea behind it is to produce a diary in
picture form. If this was a written diary I would have no problems. I could record
and relive any number of experiences in just a few short sentences but as you’re
only allowed one photo each day I’m finding it difficult... and I’ve gone and set
off in my usual unplanned panster style. The first two photos were of the cats
[naturally]. The second two were flowers in the garden and now I’m wondering, should
I decide on a theme or should I just snap and post?
This was yesterday’s contribution. It’s a close-up of a dead
clematis head but it looked so pretty sitting amongst the yellowing leaves that
I thought I’d capture it. [Between you and me I’m a bit pleased and a lot
surprised at how it came out.]
Today’s contribution could be a lunch table filled with food...
provided I remember to get my camera out. I’ve lost count of the number of times
I’ve arrived home from a visually spectacular outing and realised that,
although my camera was in my bag, I’ve not used it once! Today is my book group/ladies
who lunch time again. We each take a dish to contribute to the meal and it
always works deliciously. All I’ve got to do is to remember to take a photo before
we’ve eaten it all.
What theme would you choose for a 365 Project or would you
be a panster?
