A Few Pictures to Get Back in the Groove

I'm trying to get back into photographing for the rest of the summer. Not to force myself, of course, but to get my blood churning and my mind spinning with the rhythm of the world.

I've decided to take a big step and start a 365 Project on Flickr. It is a project where I will be taking one picture each day and posting it, in the hope that something will really spark and I'll touch upon a little piece of perfection. Right now I'm planning on just using self portraits that will help me learn about myself, but I'm not completely cutting off every other option.

I just bought a new wireless remote for my digital camera so I can go out and take better self portraits without having to throw the shutter and run with the timer on. More preparation means an easier time.

Here's a practice shot I did of my friend Matthew at his house:It's a little overexposed, but I like the contrast. I did a bit of editing in photoshop as well, lower the color saturation in the background, so that I could get more of the results that I want. I just have to keep practicing so I can learn everything I want to do.

My eyes fleet from one spot
to all of the others.
But they always return because
I know what matters.
