Brentwood, CAI, along with over 500 other people, had the "opportunity" to attend a funeral for one of my co-workers who was killed in a horrible car accident last week.

I have been considering giving up PAD on June 11th. I figured making it 366 days straight was a pretty good accomplishment. Additionally, my camera in constantly having shutter problems. But after today I think I've all but convinced my self to buy a new cheap camera and continue on past June 11. At the funeral, for the fourth funeral I've been to in a row, there was a video montage set to music. (this one always makes me cry). The pictures for Lisa were amazing. They were of trips to various events, places, countries and adventures. As I watched today, I made a personal goal to have video montage of incredible pictures at my funeral. I remember going to the Grand Canyon with my father in 2003. I took 4 pictures. He took 3 rolls. His video montage will be so much cooler than mine when it comes to pictures of Grand Canyon. I will continue to take pictures, I now see, so that I too can have a montage played at my funeral...a montage of those sunsets and scenes that caused my shutter to click. A montage of my life adventure.
Because I've noticed since getting a job...my quality has diminished signifigantly. There have been a lot of more "I'm going to take this picture today because I have to take a picture" and a lot less "Today I'm going to challenge myself to go take a really great shot so I can brag about getting the best PAD." I just don't think it's fair to those seeing the pictures to give them crap as much as I have in the last 5 months.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, I created a Photo A Day for about 6 people. After May 28, only half of those people will really matter. My friendship with Dun and Gu has come to a close, and on May 28th, Melinda will go on a mission for the LDS church and won't have access to the internet. The original 6 will then be three. I'm not sure I totlly see the point after that.

That said, I'm going to try to make it to year two now. Maybe 731 pictures will be enough.
who are the other three people?
