creating a photo blog

I love to take pictures of people, places, animals, nature, anything that catches my eye. I like to see if I can capture in a photograph exactly the way I view something. My favourite pictures are the ones that I can look at years from when I took them and feel the same emotion stir as I felt when I initially experienced that moment in time.

I have thousands of pictures saved in albums and on an external hard drive. Last week I decided it was time to create a photo blog so I can share my pictures with fellow bloggers who'd like to see them! So...now I am doing a little research on the best way to create a photo blog!

If anyone out there in blogger land can give me some insight as to the best photo blog website, I'm all ears and eyes!

photographic memories

I should be sleeping, but here I sit at my computer. How can I sleep when so many things are racing through my mind?

I've just uploaded several images to an online photo contest as I do at the end of every summer. I love taking pictures and have hundreds as proof. I also love the excitement I feel knowing so many people will be looking at my photos! Will this be the year one of my pictures is chosen? It would be so cool! The photos I keep all mean something to me. They capture the moments, people, animals, views, sites I want to remember forever. (As much as I hate to admit it, my memory is not what it used to be.....eek, turning 44 does that to a person!)

I have to wait for at least a month before any decisions will be made and then almost three months to see the winning pictures. The anticipation is thrilling! Fingers crossed and putting it out there to the great universe.

It's not the camera I want to win, it's seeing a photograph I've taken published in a magazine. Wouldn't it be fun to be a take photographs for a living.

Well........I don't know if anyone out there is reading, but if you are, please cross your fingers for me too! :-)
