Mad about photography

Happy New Year all!

One of the items on my 101 list is the 26 Things photo scavenger project. There is a list of 26 words and you take a photo for each word, and that’s it. Pretty simple. =) The newest one is going on this January ‘09. And I’ve already started. Another one I’m doing at the same time is one of the lists from before, the 26 alphabets (you take a photo for each alphabet) because it seems fun. All the photos are here and I’m constantly updating it as I take more photos.

New photos:

Haruki Murakami

This is one photo for the 26 Alphabets photo challenge of which I have yet to make a page for. Taken from one of the pages of a Haruki Murakami collection of short stories.

Letter “T” for.. can you guess?

In Lieu of a New Years Resolution

I’ve never really made a new year’s resolution. If I have done before, it probably was something we were told to do in class or a list of quickly scribbled, vague, random things on some paper that I knew I’d misplace soon. So I found this meme thing on ze internets that I think would be a lot better than a classic new years resolution. And after completing the list, I’m even more convinced. My list looks a lot more focused, decisive, measurable and realistic than any new years resolution I can ever write. And I’m not waiting til New Year either.. =)

The original meme can be found here: Clickie! And here is mine: (Also on a separate page permanently on header to keep track of easier.)
