I still took pictures of the family and while on vacation, but I didn&#8217;t spend much time just taking pictures. I tried to get into the August 2010 Photo Challenge, but only managed 19 shots. 2010 was an off year all around for me. This year I&#8217;m trying to get back into shooting more photos for myself. I was hoping <a href=\"http:\/\/photochallenge2.wordpress.com\/\">www.photochallenge.org<\/a> would have some good themes to keep me motivated, but it looks like the site is on hiatus. (I sincerely hope new challenges come up soon.)<\/p>\n<p>I decided I needed to come up with my on themes and Numbers is one I&#8217;ll be working on all year. Numbers are all around us and define much of our lives. We see them in everywhere we go and in almost everything we do. I&#8217;ve decided to try to take photos of as many numbers as possible this year, focusing on numbers below 1000.\u00c2\u00a0 I came up with a few guidelines for myself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No addresses unless it&#8217;s a really compelling shot. It&#8217;s just too easy to get numbers from homes or businesses, and I want this to be a little challenging.<\/li>\n<li>No repeating the same subject. I could take a lot of number shots of speed limit signs, but that will get boring fast. Part of the challenge is to find different subjects as well as numbers.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use the same number twice. So far this hasn&#8217;t been a problem, but I did add two shots of the number 4 to the set. One was taken long before I started this project, but was the kind of shot I want to do.<\/li>\n<li>Try to get just a number by itself, without other words or other numbers. For example, a keyboard has numbers, but it&#8217;s hard to get each number by itself, although it could make an interesting macro. I&#8217;m not to let this limit my shots, but the point is to focus on numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So far I&#8217;ve taken nine shots for this project this year and have started a <a title=\"Numbers photo project\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33224129@N00\/sets\/72157625934624930\/\">set on Flickr<\/a>. I&#8217;ll add to it as much as possible throughout the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past year I pretty much abandon blogging, and to a large extent photography.
