Feeling Peaceful on a Cloudy Day... by lauriehiggins

Feeling Peaceful on a Cloudy Day...

Year One on 365: How on earth am I going to be able to take a photo every single day for a whole year?

Year Two on 365: How on earth am I going to take the best photo ever, every single day for a whole year?

Year Three on 365: Just glad I'm taking a photo every day! It is what it is...and the process is everything.

There is nothing that I love more than sand in my shoes at the end of a satisfying work day.
Beautiful shot and love the shoes! I know how you feel about shooting everyday!

looks like a very cool place
it is so true what you write -- just take a picture for your/mine remembrances and if they turn out great - great!

I'm diggin the vibe:)

That looks so peaceful.

It doesn't matter if you don't do the best photo every day, I think - just what happens and you often never know what is going to happen.

I like your attitude. I've taken the Year 3, "Eh, I'll take photos and if I don't get anything today, I'll post another of the great ones I took yesterday." I still have a backlog of 4 or 5. ;-)

Looks warmer there than here. What's up with that?

Year 1 was how do I play the 365 game, making friends, improving skills, eye and learning to post regularly. Year 2 taking the photos I wanted, and posting what I liked, and commenting, commenting, commenting. Year 3 taking photos with techniques and cameras I like to learn, commenting less, but maybe giving more, and gee there is a nice sunset going off tonight hmm.

Amazing angle and intriguing idea!

So true! Can relate!

very inviting shot! I like you take on Year Three...As I try to post every day again, I struggle with wanting to post a "best photo ever"....gotta lose that. Ain't gonna happen. And now, I am going to choose my photos from the last two days!

@ellen That "best photo ever" thought process made me quit this project or take long breaks in year two. I still struggle with it, but I'm learning to let it go so I can recapture the joy of year one. I had a huge "aha moment" recently, which is why I came back. I had to search through all my photos for one I needed for work. In the process, I looked through alot of photos I took for 365, and realized that I would not have taken any of them if it weren't for this project. Obviously, my favorite ones were of family. So I've decided it's okay to post a boring photo or a less than perfect photo if I'm learning something new. Just post, is my motto.

I love looking back at photos and seeing the ones I took that "weren't good enough". Well, I thank you for your encouragement, and I plan to keep on trying. It really makes me happy to take photos. Then I feel guilty when I don't have time to comment on others' photos....but we'll talk about that on another day. :)

I'm glad you're posting again!
January 17th, 2013  
@ellen I had exactly that same moment of looking at photos that I deemed not worthy and thinking, wow, this is really good. The commenting can get crazy, but I'm trying to keep it close and personal this time around. It's funny how many of my friends now are my first year friends. Makes me happy.
January 17th, 2013  
Ahhh ... this is cool. I understand the evolution of the 365 view. And I really like the image view. :)
January 18th, 2013  
i love your words, they very much hit home for me!
January 18th, 2013  
this loks so cool - I'd lvoe to be able to do this at the end of a day! Love your commentry - it is what it is and it doesn't need to be any different - I really don't know how some folk in their third year have got the energy to comment every night! I'm finally chilling out in the world of 365 - think I've got thte balance right at long last!
