Mann’s Harbor Sunset

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

I think I’ve finally recovered from multiple trips to Delaware over the past few weeks. I’m definitely glad to have about 4 weeks at home before I need to to travel again. There are lots of projects I’m trying to finish up… and even more that I’m trying to get off the ground. I registered to participate in SoFoBoMo again this year and my “fuzzy month” is scheduled to begin on July 1st. Sadly, last year I didn’t complete my book and I’d like to make up for it this year. Unless something changes in the next few hours, I’m going to resurrect my idea of shooting a project of Polaroids, but will not be manipulating them like I did last year.

I’m still trying to decide what I want to do with this blog. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not very interested in posting mediocre work from every shooting session… but at the same time, the blog is motivation to make sure that I push myself to shoot as much as possible and process work in a somewhat speedy fashion. I’m still searching for a good balance and I plan to spend sometime over the holiday weekend working on msg.com a bit.

    Matt,

    Why not give yourself a meaningful, but workable deadline? Like maybe one REALLY good image/week, always captured within the previous 2 weeks. Or some other set of numbers. At least you would not be allowed to put the camera down for TOO long :-) .

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for posting – I really appreciate it!

    That’s exactly what I’m thinking. I’m overcommitted at the moment. I need to just honestly say that I’m going to share 1 or 2 shooting experiences a week and only post work that I’m genuinely excited about.

    I kind of started this iteration of the blog without a good plan. I’ve always envied photographers that tackle photo blogging like you are. 365 posts for a year… dedication and commitment!

    Best,
    Matt
