100 Days, 100 Ways Day 16: Take More Pictures

If you are not capturing moments in time, you should start. If you are taking pictures, keep up the good work.

Get yourself a dedicated camera (film or digital) and start clicking away. Do not be tempted to use your cellphone camera. While it will do in a pinch, it is not a camera. It is a phone that happens to have a camera built-in.Go ahead and get yourself a camera and start taking pictures. Take pictures of family, friends, plants, bugs, anything and everything. Just take pictures of events or solo shots it does not matter just start capturing moments.

If you need a reason to capture those moments forever. Think about it like this, taking pictures is a great way to see life in a different way. It forces you to fine tune, fine focus your vision to a little box of the world. Once you see that the world is unique with every shot you take, the better person and a better photographer you will become.

Still not sure what to take a picture of try this (or something like this): A couple of years ago, I took one photo of the day's sunrise. I did this everyday for a year, even if I took no other picture that day, I took it. It was a lot of fun and I became a better photographer for it. I also shared those daily images with my friends and family, that kind of fun was priceless.



Not sure what kind of camera you want/need. That's OK with the quality of the cameras that are out on the market today you should have no problem finding one you can afford and use. There are plenty of great cameras out there for a reasonable price. Check out Amazon.com for some camera ideas.


I do invite you to join the conversation and tell me what you think about any of the postings so far.
