well. i tried. i really, really tried.

Here we are, on 1/11/11, and already I have missed 3 days of taking a picture.

Also, I was having issues:

  1. Blogger won't take huge photos in TIFF format.
  2. I got Lightroom for Christmas, and I still don't know how the heck to use it.  So, I end up with only TIFF files.
  3. I tried using Flickr to just upload my pictures directly, which worked great, except the quality was horrible and I ended up with grainy, almost blurry pictures.
So.  My solution:
  1. NO GUILT!  Forget to take a picture because I am too busy?  So what!
  2. Decide PICTURE A WEEK is way better.
  3. Lightroom is getting a little easier....I typically figure out one new thing each time I open it.  I figure by the time I am 50, I might know what I am doing.
Rather than feel bad, I have given myself a do-over.  A mulligan if you will.  And I am starting again.

Welcome to my picture a week for 2011 blog!

First week's picture is below.

Enjoy.

Well.....

Hi.

Please bear with me as I try to make things easier, but of course seem have made things quite difficult.

I am trying to be able to auto post my pictures from Flickr, and have found it to be super easy, but none of my settings on this end are working right.

I'll keep working on the kinks!

About This Blog

I am Jodi, a picture taking Mama to two girls.

I love my family, my camera, my dog (most of the time), my cat and my life.

This year, my photo blog is about me taking at least one picture a week and showing it to you here.

My Subjects

1. My kids. They get tired of it, much like I did when I was young, but, oh well. They'll appreciate it later in life.


2. My yard. I like to take pictures of flowers. They hold still and look pretty most of the time.


3. Nature. I try to keep an eye out for interesting looking things to photograph. I find a lot of things, but most of the time, I seem to have left my camera at home.
