31 Days - 31 Pctures ~ The First Seven Days

I love inspirational people and have recently been inspired by a wonderful man to dust off my camera and start snapping away again.


I adore photography and art, and more recently, art has taken preference. So in order to put this right, and re-kindle one of my passions, I decided to take a picture-a-day....hence 31 Days, 31 Pictures!

The idea is simple....every day I will take a picture of something which I have either stumbled across during my travels, or something which happened during my day. How many times do we say 'if only I had my camera!'......well now, my little point and shoot is with me all the time, so that I can capture those moments, those interesting people, those beautiful skies......

So here's my first seven days in pictures.....please click on the link below to see the rest!

Networking...

I've recently decided to invest time in online networking.

Most of us these days use Facebook, Twitter (although I am yet to suss this one out) and LinkedIn, to name a few. These are social networking sites, aimed at keeping friends, colleagues etc up to date on our lives, whether it be personal or professional.

These sites are great and can be a very useful way of promoting your artwork and photography, announcing exhibitions, promoting events or just keeping people informed on what you are currently working on.

I have found LinkedIn to be a really useful site, mainly as it allows you to join groups on a professional basis whereby you can create discussions and learn some interesting things you never knew before. For instance, you may want to try out a new medium and would like experiences of other artists. They can give you advice and tips and provide interaction that is sometimes lacking when you are alone in a studio.

Naturally, these sites can take up a lot of your time, but used wisely, can provide an excellent source of information and in the process, build up a network of like minded individuals.

So give it a bash I say...
