A Daily Photo

It is a great idea. In fact, I almost dove in myself.

You take a photo a day and post it on your blog. Wow! Simple. Interesting. Easy.

No way.

I just can't do it. I have enough on my plate, and what would happen is this: the first week, seven photos. No problem. Then, I would be busy, or wouldn't like my photo, and I would skip it.

A day would go by. Well, now do I post two photos, or just one and write the missing one off?

Fretting over that cost another day.

Now I have three. OK. Post the photo. Write two days off.

Get back into the swing of things.

Oops. Forgot about it for a couple of days.

Do I "make up for it"?

Fret for another day.

In a frenzy of creativity: post three or four or five photos.

Wow! That was fun. How about ten?

Well, that was a lot of photography, curating, uploading to photobucket...and the realization hits: I should be spending this time organizing the studio, working on my upcoming lecture, photographing my art!, etc.

So, no, I will not do this. Keeping up with a minimal prayer routine is hard enough. Not to mention the aforementioned work tasks.

I love the idea, and I will be thinking about those doing it. I might even check out their work every day.

For a good example of some great photos, go here and see what Don has. Perhaps someday I will embark on this project, but until then, you get a schedule dictated entirely by my own whimsy and the fullness of my calendar.

Sorry.
