Something I've taken up in the last year or so is digital Photography. I'm not very artistic, but I have seen so many great photos and snapshots that have given me inspiration to give it a try.
I started to do this on a regular basis since last summer. Lately, I have stopped, partly due to my taking more of my free time to work on my blogs FrugalNYC and FrugalTech. Now that I have started this blog, I am inspired once again. This time I will take the Kaizen approach and I know that it will be a lifetime habit. Here is what I will do, and I hope you will do the same if you are interested in photography.
Daily Photos
- Take my point and shoot camera with me daily.
- Take at least one snapshot daily, no matter what it is.
- Have a spare set of batteries for the camera
I wanted to mention my friend Jeff, who inspired me to start taking photos on a regular basis. Lately I've been inspired by Henie of the blog Hennartonline. You can find a great video about how we see things and photography on Ted Talk. I also wrote a post on FrugalNYC called Digital Photo Resources.
Above is a recent picture I took thanks to an idea from Henie!

Hi Jay,
Thanks for dropping by :) This is just the beginning. Looking to make this blog useful to others. :) I think it has potential.
Thanks again for dropping by.
Frugal!!!!
I love love love your photo!!!! You did extremely well with your focus, clarity and your "fade" along the edge! It almost looks like a "fish-eye" lens! Well done!
Your idea for Daily Photos is a must and will be a winner!
I am always here to help and I humbly thank you for your appreciation! :~)
@Jay - Thank you for your kind words as well!
"Your appreciation is my inspiration!" ~Henie~
Thanks for dropping by and for the inspiration Henie!
The focus was all thanks to camera, its just a point-and-shoot :) It does look a bit like fish-eye doesn't it?
I've been keeping a daily routine doing this. It makes photography more fun and I learn a tiny bit everyday! :)
