Project 365 (Day 7): Empties — Plus Some Ponderings
You wouldn’t know it from looking at my desk at work, but I really have cut way down on my caffeine. I’m just way too sleepy now to carry the empties to the recycle bin. 
By the way, I edited this picture using the online editor at pxn8.com, which I heard about from Amber Rhea (PXN8: Awesome online photo editor) a while back and for some reason saved the post. Maybe I fore-knew that I’d be lured into this challenge. 
One of the things I’ve noticed just in this week is that I’m going through life looking at things just a little bit different already. I look at everything as a possible picture, as a possible future picture…I think I’m even going through life a little slower. I’m definitely taking a closer, observatory look at the world around me as I drive to work or walk around or get ready for work or whatever. When I look at other people’s pictures, I’m trying to figure out how they captured the shot, the lighting, the angle, etc. I have a deeper appreciation for the more difficult shots.
I’ve been wondering if other folks have noticed this change in themselves.
And…it’s encouraged me to improve myself. I’ve ordered books on beginning photography and gadgets like the Monster Pod and Gorillapod Flexible Tripod and put a better camera on my wishlist all in the hopes of improving my ability so that by the end of this project, I’m not just snapping shots, I’m creating art.
