Well the results are in for the first #Flickr Friday, and it
would seem I came up a bit short. However, there were some fantastic
images submitted so in the end I really don't feel bad for not making the
blog. For me, I find it nice to participate in something that is a bit of
a challenge. It gets the juices flowing and actually gives me something
to look forward to in meeting such a challenge. I, like I am sure other
photographers do, get a bit stale form time to time. It just seems everything
you do is awful and it always seems like you can't snap it. The harder
you try, the worse it gets. Then something like this can come
along. Sometimes to get out of a rut, you need to shoot something not so
much that you want to shoot, but have something to shoot sort of thrust upon
you. It is nice to get some subject put on you and force you to think in
that box, which in a lot of ways is thinking outside your normal box. I
am really looking forward to participating in other challenges in the future.
I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. Here is a link to the blog
entry. You should go and enjoy the selections that made the Flickr Blog. Here are a few more shots from my photo
adventure for the #Flickr Friday group for your viewing pleasure.

A Flare for the Whimsical
Today I decided it was time to go out and take some
pictures. Yesterday morning I saw that Flickr had started a new group
called Flickr Friday. The premise of the group is very simple. You
get a theme supplied to you every Friday and then you have the entire weekend
to go shoot something and have it submitted before Sunday is over. Things
like this can help keep me motivated to grab the camera and go shoot. So
after dinner tonight, I hurriedly grabbed my camera and rushed over to my
personal sanctuary that is right down the road from my home and searched for
something to shoot. All while losing day light and realizing I was sorely
underdressed and would soon be freezing. I got the shot though. I
give you my first entry to the group.
