With today’s digital cameras, you can have a daily journal of your life. If you aren’t using your digital camera, you are missing out on a chance to look back, and smile at things you may not have at the time. It’s so easy to take pictures, delete bad ones, put them on your computer, use them in emails, and share online with friends and family. So, now that you can, are you?
Thinking of taking a picture everyday may sound daunting at first, but stop and think, “I’ve given my time to this day; surely, there must be something worthwhile to remember.” If you’ve never taken a picture of where you work, that is worthwhile. You may wonder someday how you ever went there every day.
Look around you right now, what are you doing? Where are you? Are you in front of your laptop relaxing, surfing the web? Your laptop may have a webcam. Take your picture now! You will appreciate those ‘relaxing’ moments when you come across the shot on a more stressful day.
Use your digital camera as a record keeper of when you finally completed that home improvement project. Or to keep track of how tall the kids have grown, by taking their picture by the same reference point. It can be a door with panels, or by the back fence. You can put them all in a collage someday, to see how much they have changed.
There are so many ways to keep taking photos to enjoy later. Be creative, be resourceful, be mindful. You will look back someday, and enjoy the opportunities you took, to take the time, to take the picture.
