This Is an Update, in Case You Couldn’t Tell

It’s been a while since I’ve actually updated this blog–October, to be specific. I’ve been busy. Here’s what’s happening:

I’m still continuing the 365 days of photos. Today was day 108. As I can’t post it for privacy reasons, here was yesterday’s–looking down/the Arkansas Delta:

I went home for Christmas and have been charged with showing the rest of the world what Arkansas looks like since Most People don’t have any idea. I’m not sure I did the greatest job in taking appropriate photos to show this, but here are a few. Hover over the photos or click on them for captions.

One Year. 365 Photos.

Yesterday, I (apparently) joined the 365 photo challenge. While I’m quite late, it sounds like fun and I like having excuses to take random photos. Assuming I stick with this, I’d like to make my own challenge of continuing for one year since the day I started, or Sept 11, 2010. There are themes from which to choose we’ll see if I use them, so that gives it a strange sort of community feel to know that there are strangers around the world doing the same thing.

Here are my first attempts. I’ve polaroid-ized them to make them prettier, imho. In case you’re interested, I’m using a program called (get this) Polaroid, which you can download for free. The awesome thing about this program is that you can watch your photos turn from yellow into fully processed, and save as many copies of the process as you want. There’s supposed to be a way to “shake” the photo, too, but I’ve yet to find it.
