So... I've been really lazy/lax about posting pictures. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, Sometimes I just haven't been in the mood to take pictures. Second, I came up with this idea because I wanted to get more practice using my new D40, but it's impractical for me to have it with me all of the time. And my camera phone and pocked-sized point-and-shoot camera don't really cut it for me. Don't get me wrong -- they're great to have on me for spur-of-the-moment photography, but as I'm trying to think more and more about composition, and picturing in my head how I want my pictures to turn out, it's when I realize that I really need my DSLR. And third, even when I do take pictures with my P&S or DSLR, I still have to download them to my computer, and sometimes that doesn't happen for a couple of days.
So since this experiment is more of a strategy to get me out and trying new things with photography, I'm going to make it more of a Photo of the Week project. That way I'll have far more time to really think about what I want to shoot, and then get the photos from the camera to the computer, and into the cloud.
Here's a photo that I took last week that just made it onto the computer... I'm not sure why I liked it so much, but there's something really neat about how the nighttime lights are so varying and colorful, even if it's impossible to tell what they are.

I think that the beauty of a "photo of the day" posting is not in the quality of the photo but in the sharing of what caught your attention. If I HAVE to take a picture of something, I enjoy whether I took it on my phone or a "real" camera. The beauty is in the finding - not always the execution.
