Still at the old laptop, which now can’t run a bunch of sites, oh like icloud or gmail so I’m cobbling together my experience of the internet here, checking email on my phone when I can, checking work email on the laptop, using the sites I can to handle stuff. It’s pretty sucky. I had no idea that having current stuff made SUCH a difference… I mean, I knew in terms of speed, ease of use etc but I didn’t realise this clearly what an impact it has on your experience of content. Anyway, it’s still a priority to get that situation sorted. We’re just trying to figure out if repair or replace makes the most sense for us right now. One good thing about this hiccup is that it definitely forces me to strip shit down to the basics. There’s no space for filler. And that’s a good thing for a magpie like myself.
So, my friend Shelly runs this awesome weekly prompt on her blog, instagram and flickr called ‘Seen From a Different Angle‘. If you’re into prompts or even just want to improve your photography, I highly recommend projects like this. Shooting more often will improve your skills immediately, as will shooting with intention. Every week, she posts a new prompt and you can suggest some yourself, as well. So, despite my intentions, I’m behind on this.
My solution?
I’m just going to post the first three of this year’s subjects in this one post and keep it moving. From next week, I’ll be current. Probably for about five minutes. But we’ll see. And my old phone has issues with instagram lately, so I’m just going to post mine here and on flickr if I can swing it. Hope that makes sense. And if you join in, do use the hashtag #wpmyview so we can all see it!
Oh my gosh the pic of HSG is laugh out loud funny. I want to photograph him riding his bike with all his safety gear on. Too cute. Love that you’re on board with the prompts and did this great catch up post. Looking forward to seeing what you capture going forward.
I know! I love it too. Yes, we’ve got quite the chronicle of his bike adventures going. I’ve photographed him riding a few times- his first and then well, a few (he might say different) times after that. He is too cute with all his proper gear. He’s serious about this stuff.
yeah, I’m so happy to be really doing it for real this time, belated and all. Last year I kept dropping the ball and I’m not sure I posted even one prompt, let alone on time. I know I took loads of them though and really enjoyed following you as you did it. Thanks for coming to check mine out. I’m hoping to join y’all on instagram again soon!
