looking forward

Going to try something new; something that requires a little discipline on my part. 

I find myself asking “Why?” but pushing that little voice away, I’ll continue.

Anyway, I’m going to try and get into Flickr.  I’ve had a Flickr account for quite a while now, and like my photobucket site, it has been used primarily as a place to store photos and images that I have wanted to post on messgae boards and such like.  A couple of times, I have gone a little more social with it, posting a range of photos from various events that others wanted photos from, but for the most part it has been nothing more than a repository.

This is something that I have been toying with for some time now (even when I wasn’t writing here, this was what I had thought about using as my re-entry).   Sue Waters (Mobile Technology in TAFE) got me thinking about it when she was running the infamous lolly jar series (I’ve looked for the link in Sue’s archives, but cannot find it – sorry.  Thinking now, was it even a blog post – may have existed on Twitter.  Anyway…).   Sue used her Flickr account to illustrate an ongoing story and her Flickr photostream was as important to the story as the text was.

Added to Sue’s example, was Alan Levine’s (cogdogblog) project to take a photo every day of the year. To me this was a mammoth task – I don’t have that sort of discipline.  What I am going to try and do is start a little smaller: let’s try for a month and see where we go from there. 

I’m going to see if I can stay focused enogh to diarise a month in my life through pictures – starting today. 

Having said that, I wont be posting anything until Monday at the earliest – I don’t have access to my Flickr account at work (can view images, but cannot upload) and tonight we are going away for the long weekend, so I will start taking the pictures today, but wont have access until Monday night.
