_____I've really been wanting to start a new project for a little while now. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do, but I've been finding things in my basement, and my dad's been giving me stuff he finds cleaning out the garage to work with. A 1975 National Geographic book, Song and Garden Birds of North America, and some maps of northern Utah that my dad must have gotten at Deseret Industries years ago. I don't really have a clear concept in my mind of what I want to do with these things... but I know that I want to do something, so I'd say that I have my start!
_____Also, I've been obsessed with Flickr for the past while, and can spend hours looking through photo streams. My favorites have been Karrah Kobus and Alex Stoddard, who both have photos that are unbelievably beautiful to me. It's always interesting to just go through them and read what the person thinks about their own work, because many believe that they're not filling their potential, but they still produce something that can truly be appreciated. It's fun to watch as people grow.
_____Over this summer I want to work out how to take even decent photos. I'm hoping I'll find myself dedicating some of my time to that! I also want to learn how to use my dad's old 80's film camera, and that should be some fun. Until then, I'll always be looking at Flickr! The Library of Congress's photos are always fantastic to look at just to see a glimpse of the past!
