The end of May. Almost at the mid-point of 2009. Time flies way too fast.

Went home and played the piano for the first time in a long while. Felt great :)

It was a nice, sunny day so I decided to go for a walk and run some errands. So I set out for the day, and was happy to stretch my legs and take in the nice, humid air of Maryland.
On my walk, I passed my campus to my right, and it was so beautiful. I've been meaning to take pictures of the campus before I left, and it would have been perfect for the picture of the day.
But of course, I left my camera at home. I need to remember to start taking my camera around with me everywhere I go... something that will become natural in time, hopefully.
So, for today's picture, here are some stones.

The first picture from the Newseum is appropriate, as it contains some of the most breath-taking pictures I've ever seen. The stories behind the photos are inspiring, moving and brings tears, both of joy and sorrow.
Spending time at this museum has made me realize how one person can make a difference, big or small. I need to make my mark in this world - whether its in the physical life, spiritual life or virtual life.
The Beginning
no experience... no formal training... yet an aspiring photographer with an amateur camera.
Photos have impacted me in ways other forms of journalism have yet to effect me. A picture can move someone, can transport someone into that image, can explain something in one moment, when it's worth a thousand words.
My goal is to take a picture everyday of my life. Whether the picture is of something as mundane as my room, or something as exciting as a life-changing moment, a world-changing event, or a split-second when the world stands still. I hope that through this, I can learn through my experience and become a better photographer each day. I want to capture everything in my life that is important to me: my family, friends, traveling, fashion, school, work, people I run into randomly or everyday, etc. This is also going to be a test to myself, to see if I can be dedicated, committed and consistent with this blog... and see it through until the end. I don't care if one person sees this one time, or if a million people follow it everyday. I need to prove to myself that I can do this, whether the pictures are craptastic or worthy of a Pulitzer prize.
The pictures won't have a theme, except one: my life. The pictures will vary each day, depending on what mood I'm in, what sums up the day the best, or if I only took one picture. It will be random, portraying different things in my life that interest me, whether it's an outfit that I envy, or if it's pure joy, sadness or ecstasy on the face of a stranger.
This project will force me to leave this comfortable bubble my life has made; contributed by suburbia, a university campus, and - let's face it - ignorance. Through this project, I hope to become cultured, aware and knowledgeable.
And so this journey begins.
