It's hard to believe that this is my 100th blog posting. When I began this back in August, I had a bit of an idea that it would be a journey, but really no idea where it would take me both in the art of photography, but also picking subjects for the blog. I thought it would be pretty easy when I started out, as there were so many things here in Monroe to document. However, when it continued, I began to realize that my blog really wasn't about taking pictures about stuff about town, but creating art with the pictures that I take. Whether they be of landmarks, people, or historical buildings, the photos that I take really aren't about documenting the history of them. I have come to believe that the photos are of every day life and what they mean to me. My project is nearly 1/3 of the way done and I have so many more ideas for subject matter for it that I am excited to see what more I can do in 265 more postings. I thought that the photo of a blank sheet of paper with a pen was poignant in that it represents a clean slate of sorts; an empty box waiting to be filled with ideas to be put in photographs. Getting better at this art is my goal as well as sharing the journey with the ones that read the blog.
