Thing-A-Day Lives, a website that my son-in-law, Patrick, started. He based this on the original Thing-A-Day, which ceased years ago. It was a great idea that continues - for February and for each day, you post something artistic and/or original and/or clever. Patrick sets a theme for the month. I don't; not as clever, am I, so I resort to serendipity.
It's time to start moving my A$$ as I've been lethargic for the last-half of 2024. It's getting warm enough to start walking. Yesterday, I saw my nephew, who was visiting us, walking up and down the long driveway. I should start with that. It's also time to start moving my A$$ photographically. I've been lazy about this, leaving most of my photography to my smartphone's camera. I need to organize my cameras and lenses and start using them in a more serious way. I've been watching some excellent YouTube videos about a couple British photographers who do single or multiple day trips to the highlands and lakes regions of the UK and beyond. They are very entertaining and inspiring and I need to feed off of their stories and make my own...just not a YouTube channel as I'm not sure I have the smarts for that.
Bags, bags, and more bags. I recently acquired some more camera bags - all preowned - with which to sort and store my gear. I have a spot in the garage for many of them, hopefully filled with not-too-expensive gear. The cameras and lenses would need to be inside where they're better protected. Right now, everything is on the floor of my media room and it's messy. So, I have to address that. So, maybe as I do, I'll grab a bag and go out for a walk or drive and photograph something.
I'm thinking of starting a monthly or bi-weekly Photo Chat online session where interested photographers can participate. The idea would be to just chat about things, show off images and gear, and tell stories about photo treks. I've had an idea to do this before but never got it going. Now maybe it's a good thing to try.
