I have a friend who blogs on a fairly regular basis. I enjoy reading her posts, seeing her pictures and catching up on her life. For the most part, her blog is the only way I keep in touch and know what's going on with her and her family. The other day I opened my blog page up by mistake and started looking through old posts and photos. I came the stark realization that the only time I really post anything is in December when I am participating in the December Photo Project.
I began the DPP two years ago as a way to try and motivate myself to blog more, but that obviously didn't work. This year a coworker said she really looked forward to my daily posts and was sad to see them go when the project wrapped up. This morning, for no apparent reason, I was thinking about my blog and decided to try some new inspiration.
So, this will serve as the first posting in the newly created Montly Photo Project. It's not as catchy at the December Photo Project, but I just made it up and it can be edited later if inspiration strikes or someone else comes up with a better title. The plan now is to post (at least) a photo a month of something artsy fartsy that strikes my fancy. This takes care of two things: a blog post, and a way to get me out shooting again.
The first post is a few pictures that I took while in Santa Fe with a group of fabulous women earlier this month. We went up to accept an award for outstanding bilingual teaching on behalf of the other fabulous men and women we work with. While in Santa Fe we shopped in Old Town and that is where I took the picture of the fence. Also, a trip to Santa Fe isn't complete unless I take some sort of picture of the cathedral. Finally, I snapped a quick picture of the flag outside the capitol building. It isn't anything fancy, just one that "talks" to me. See you in a month.
