Photo Blog & Reading Garden

Before I talk about the HDR Photo of the London Rotary Reading Garden, I want to mention the difficulty of a daily photo blog. I’ve always had trouble with these daily photo projects.  I know that I’m not alone either.  The task of posting a new photograph everyday is pretty daunting and requires one to let go of the perfectionist in them.  The commitment and the execution of uploading a new photograph requires that we make the act a ritual.  Without the ritual, the project is doomed to be sporadic and end up as one of the 77% inactive photo blogs online.

In my world, what causes me to start missing days? I often the need to write a paragraph or more about the photograph.  I would hate to make an excuse in not doing what I love – sharing images to show off a interesting world and spark positive believes that the world isn’t all going to hell – but there is no deny that I miss a day here and there. I haven’t gone a few days without a new photo but if I don’t address the issue now, it may fall to the wayside.

What does one do?

I decided to call myself and I came up with a plan with a bias-towards-action:

  • Each Sunday I am to create 7 actions within the Action Method
  • The creating of a photo blog post must be the first action I do upon waking up
  • There will be some days when I only post the photograph and little to no text
  • Failure to post a photo with this plan is not an option

With that plan in place now, I’ll mention that this photograph is created from 5 hand held images shot with my Nikon D300.  This was taken on the same day as the Arts Project photographs.  I  adore seeing the snow melting away. We were all craving some spring in London, Ontario at that point. I do plan to get some additional photos of the London Rotary Reading Garden on a very nice day.  We desire them for our wedding website since it is the location of our wedding ceremony.  When people ask us about the wedding – where it’s being held – they get super excited and interested to hear of the locations we picked.  We give them answers that they didn’t expect.  I bet they hear the same locations and companies all the time.  We’re excited too! However, I admit, that doing some gift registering at Kingsmills yesterday was pretty tiring.
