Photo of the day

I really don't like being in photos but here it is YOURSELF.



Don't laugh too hard people and be nice with your comments.

Ok so January is over and February has begun, and so a new list.
Today's challenge was FORK.



There will be more shots over in the learning section.

Sorry I haven't been poking my head in here as much mate. Some pretty heavy stuff going on in my life at the moment.

I'm currently trying to sort out my Great Uncles Power of Attorney as he is not responding to any messages, phone calls and I'm in the process of changing him from the Power of Attorney to the State Trustee's.

If that wasn't enough, my sister has just been diagnosed with A.L.L. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Apparently it is the most aggressive leukaemia to get and takes the longest to treat. In short they attack it with everything chemo, radiation and after all that is out of her system a bone marrow transplant from yours truly as apparently a donor that is a sibling gives the best possible chance.

Then on top of that it is the normal stuff that I do, coaching my sons football team which we have just started dong three nights a week now, my own training (which is really on the back burner now) and I also have to drive two hours (one way) every Tuesday to take my son to his higher league football training as well.

I'm about, just a little absent minded these days with all that i have to remember and that is on my plate. I actually had sat down to paint in Forza when I realised I hadn't checked in here for a while.

Looking good Richard, keep it up bud.

Don't be hard on yourself, thats my job

Seriously though, if you "take" the picture on the day, thats the requirement done. Uploading it that day or the next really isn't an issue.

These tasks of taking a different photo a day for a whole year can tend to make us feel frantic and rushed at time. We all have lives and sometimes fitting in our hobby can be a squeeze. Remember that it is about having your camera in your hands everyday for a whole year and hopefully learning how everything works on your camera and learning the odd trick along the way.

You are doing great Richard, my ribbing of you as being a "slacker" is my motivational way of saying "don't give up". I know you know I mean nothing bad when saying it but felt it required saying. If that makes sense.

At the end of this year long journey, I'm sure the most amazing thing you will take away from this will be that you had your camera in your hands everyday this past year. That is no mean feat, some of us struggle to touch our equipment every month or fortnight.

Today has the theme of HOPE.
And I just happened to be working at a church in town which is called the
DOOR OF HOPE

Sometimes it just happens Dean.

Today was about SOMETHING I SMELLED.



Not what you were expecting, it didn't say anything about smelling nice.

Thought someone might get a chuckle out of that one.
Now it's time for SOFT, I was going to just put up another picture of me but thought this would be better.
