Photo Series Idea: Look at Your Feet
So, I tend to look down a lot as I’m walking around, mostly because I feel like a klutz and want to make sure I don’t trip on anything.
I’m also looking at any interesting patterns on the ground. I’ve posted quite a few photos on my Instagram account of my feet and the view from where I stand. This is something I do see regularly on Instagram, so I won’t try to claim any credit for making it up or anything. But I’m usually trying to find a new angle to capture in seemingly mundane places. Most of my pictures have been outside a local drugstore or at my local library.
Funny enough, when I was sorting through my archive of digital photos, I realized I’ve been doing this unknowingly since 2002. I even managed to catch a shoe photo of every member of my family on a single family outing from 2003. Stuff like this is pretty neat to look at a decade later. Sort of like, “hey, I remember I used to love those shoes!”
Over the years, I’ve continued with the feet theme and I like how it gives a different angle to my family photos. I’m happy that now I get to include my husband’s feet on our adventures too.
What unique ways do you document yourself, where you’ve been, and your family?

Hello (my re-introduction to blogging)
Once upon a time, back when I was in junior high and high school, I used to make websites. This was back in the early days of dial-up modems, geocities, and the original tripod websites. I even used Blogger when it first came out (before it was owned by Google).
I left the blog/web world sometime in 2004. I was in college at the time, in a professional program, with what I thought were better things to do outside of my computer room. I was (and still am) very concerned with privacy and anonymity and keeping my web life separate from my work life. So, I stayed out of the Google-able atmosphere.
Now I’ve decided to jump back into the blogging world, after a ten-year hiatus. Even though I was once an early-adopter, now I feel like I’m a bandwagoner. In the last ten years, we’ve seen blogging explode as a potential full-fledged career, rather than just a side hobby. We’ve got every genre under the sun: cooking and recipes, makeup and beauty, crafting, home decor, finance, arts and media, lifestyle, even blogs about how to blog.
I don’t know yet what this blog will be. I think it will be a mix of the random things that interest me (duh). I don’t have a five-year plan. I don’t have a predestined niche. I’m just going to write and share. And hopefully, someone, somewhere, will get something out of it.
