New Camera, New Stream, New Project
During my visit to my parents this weekend, I learned that Dad had just finished reading what I believe to be a later edition of the photography book from which I learned the basics way back when I was a teenager and all cameras were film cameras.
Since I’ve been needing a new camera for a while, both for personal use and for work, that provided the spark to do some quick online research and head out to buy a Canon PowerShot SD790.
While enroute, I mentioned flickr to Dad as being to photography what GoodReads is to literature — more or less. My goal: to get to see more of Dad’s self-selected best photography.
Now I’m back home and playing with this new toy.
And against my better judgement, but in the hopes that this may prove a fun and enlightening experience, I have taken on a new project. I am going to post a compelling photograph each day to my flickr photostream. While my primary goal for doing this is personal — getting into the habit of exercising my visual creativity on a regular basis — I hope that the photographs, and perhaps the process itself and my reflections on it, may prove thought-provoking and enjoyable to others.

I’ve also added the stream to the sidebar.
