Steven’s Notebook

I was cautioned about the Photo-A-Day goal not to set the bar too high; “Picture a day means lots of editing. Great if you have the time EVERY day. Don’t set a goal too high, work your way up to daily.” That’s ok, I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t hit the goal. As I say in my flickr profile, I’ve already missed a few days, but even if I get 3-4 each week that’ll be more than last year and will achieve the real goal - to improve through practice and feedback. I’m not doing too badly so far.

And then there are days with more important things happening than photography.

This is the result of a slight mis-judgement and then over-correction on Saturday which ended up with my oldest son’s Jeep in a ditch, wheels upturned, and two boys hanging from their seatbelts. Neither James nor his friend were hurt. At the on-scene officer put it, it was as simple a low-speed single-car accident as can be. A valuable learning for the two guys in the Jeep and two other friends who saw it happen.
