I'm really enjoying the photo a week format -- a lot less pressure than the challenges, and I don't have to worry about DNMC because I am the boss! So far, I've only missed one week. 8)

| Mine is still going. It's either up to date, or just one week behind, I think, but close. |

Okay, 3 month check-in. :) I've noticed some PAW's have dropped by the wayside.

If I've missed you and you'd like to be added, just let me know.
Keep up the great work people! :-) |
Mine's still going, planning to post this week's shot today.
Can you post the blogspot code for your list so that I can update mine? |

Apologies but as I was in India on business I have been unable to post to my PAW. However, I have managed to put a couple of pics up from India, which I hope you will enjoy.

| I've been taking theme photos each week, but I'm still behind in processing because of the computer crash I had. |

Having become disillusioned with my efforts in the challenges I have found the PAW to be therapeutic and a chance to regain some discipline. It is also "eye opening" as I find that I am stopping to take shots I have seen before (without being shot at :-) as well as appreciating the commonplace in my life in a totally new way. I may even be getting better at this photography thing... maybe!
Bottom line: it is a good thing to be doing. |

| Aight, cool. I was kinda hoping to have a unified theme all the way around. But awesome; is there a place for sharing URL's for blogs? |

The idea is that you come up with your own PAW theme and stick to that theme for a year.

Each time I explain a project idea, someone comes up with a great suggestion or opens a door that helps me move forward. E.g., getting access you wouldn't normally get or introduced to a friend of a friend who can help, that sort of thing. I've been really surprised at the opportunities that keep popping up once you commit to doing something and tell people about it. |
very good point.
I need to convince one of the park rangers to let me go to the top of thier fire watch tower:) |

I find the same sort of thing, that having committed to the project, it gives me more motivation but also perhaps more importantly a legitimate reason to do things. So if someone questions what you are doing or why you are doing it, there's something concrete to explain to them. Rather than just 'oh I like taking pictures' there's the more valid sounding 'I'm doing a project focusing on the theme of x'
Least it works that way for me. |
exactly. I already have in my head, if asked, what i will say. and i have been carrying business cards as well. so instead of looking like some wierdo taking pictures i can say that i am doing a study of the state of Georgia in photos.

I have already gotten some very cool shots (at least i think so0 and some even cooler ones that i may submit to free study. Hell i even took a candid today when i was less than 20 feet and he was looking at me, then I pulled into the yard of a really spooky as abandoned house and I jsut knew I was gonna get shot but i did it anyway (and didn't get shot:P) |

| Since i choose something which i don't usually do, it has allowed me to experiment and slowly find a way in it. |

| The immediate benefit I am seeing in mine is that I've got a bw entry in one of the challenges that is actually above a 5. (That's good for me). I'm becoming more comfortable with the various conversions, but more importantly, what to do before I snap that makes bw more effective. |
