Best Laid Plans
Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Thomas in Blog, Site News
I had all these great plans lined up for things to do in January. I was going to absolutely make sure I kept up with my photo of the day. I was going to make sure I had all my galleries and portfolios updated. I was even going to work on some new merchandise designs. Unfortunately all of this went out the window when I got sick a few weeks ago, and I’ve been pretty much out of action since then. It’s very frustrating, especially when you work freelance, to have an illness take you out of the loop.
I had been trying really hard too to keep up my 365 project but in the end I just didn’t have the energy. I had really wanted to make a go of it this year, but at least I got further than last year. I don’t know whether to just keep going now, to start again, or to post images for the missing days belatedly. Any suggestions ? Actually the one thing I did find as I struggled in my weakened state, was that by forcing yourself to try and take at least one image every day is that you start to think outside the box pretty quickly. I think it doesn’t have to be a great photo, just something, anything. It will make you look in the world, even your own little confined world, in a different light. I’m pretty disappointed in myself that I couldn’t keep going but I was in a bad way. Anyway, hopefully I’m on the mend now and I can get back to regular blogging, and more importantly regular photo taking.
Actually, on the subject of regular photo taking, I heartily recommend this weeks D-Town TV which has an excellent interview with the renowned Chase Jarvis. It’s well worth checking out as Chase gives some tips on becoming a better photographer and it’s an interesting way of looking at things.
Oh, and while you’re at it check out this gorgeous little video I came across on vimeo. It was shot on the D3s and Is quite beautiful (in my opinion)
