The Force

Completing a year of daily posts has been a good discipline. The requirement to produce a photo and some text every day has been a little demanding but the pressure has helped me to get past obstacles that might otherwise have stopped my progress. The downside is that sometimes one posts a photo that one knows is not good enough, just because one has nothing else. Another disadvantage is that one begins to get repetitive - it's easier to produce what one has done before than it is to stretch out and try some new things that may turn out hopelessly bad. (In fact, when one tries new things at least a few always turn out bad.) However, one of my resolutions for this next year of Victoria Daily Photo is to explore some new (for me) aspects of image-making. One of the new things I've been wanting to try is the combination of text and image as in the Dylan Thomas quote above.
