Pretty much as I expected, keeping up with my picture and blog post every single day has proven to be not such an easy task, now that I’m home and don’t have 3-5 hours to myself every evening. I’ve actually done just fine with the pictures. There are plenty of shots to be had around here. It’s the daily blog posts that are a little harder to come by … especially when the clock’s hitting 11 or 11:30, and I have to get up in the morning to take the kids to school.
So here’s the plan …
I’m going to “semi” de-link the project365 picture a day from the posts on this blog. I will still do a picture every single day, which I will upload to both flickr and facebook. And when it comes to this blog, every post will still have a picture to go with it. I just don’t plan on trying to write a post to go with every single picture I take, as I did in Iraq.
Actually, in Iraq, it was a very good idea. Not only did I have more time. But committing to writing a post to go with each picture actually gave me more ideas for both pictures and stories.
Here, back home, I think just the opposite will be true.
I know some of you like seeing and hearing about my family. But at some point, seeing pictures of kids that aren’t yours is going to get kind of boring … even for my friends. I’d like my blog posts to at least once a week offer up something of value to the readers. Now don’t get me wrong, I still believe in the idea that pictures can help to inspire writing, and I will continue to utilize it, but I plan to start writing fewer, but “meatier” posts.
On the picture front is where I really expect it to free me up. There are things I’d like to take pictures of, that I just can’t imagine I’d have anything to write about. The bug on the flower from this evening being a perfect example. For the remaining 235 days of my 2010 picture a day project, I get to just take pictures … it already sounds so liberating!
Anyhow, that’s where things stand here at the Todd Morris blog. I appreciate all who have been following along, and I hope to continue to provide you with some good information over the coming days, weeks, months and years.
