I had been thinking about setting up a dedicated photoblog site to host them but have been so busy that I barely get time to make the pictures. For February, I'm going to try something that I attempted several years ago but didn't complete: 28 frames a day (or 29 since this is a leap year) for the month. That doesn't mean I will have 29 pictures to post every day but it does mean I have to spend more than just 5 minutes with the camera. It will be real practice. I use the analogy of playing a musical instrument when people ask me about taking photos every day (or why I'm standing around work with a camera looking at the sidewalk in a funny way): you have to practice just to keep your current ability and certainly if you want to improve. I've just been too lazy to document the process. Thanks for pushing on me. I'll get something set up by this weekend.

I haven't been posting much to the blog, but I have been posting a lot on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/twwilliams/" rel="nofollow">my Flickr photostream.</a> I just haven't been cross-posting to the blog. It's something I need to work on. Thanks, Julia. I haven’t been posting much to the blog, but I have been posting a lot on my Flickr photostream. I just haven’t been cross-posting to the blog.
