I always have a camera with me (thanks to BH's training). Sometimes two. Now that I have a smart phone, make that three. One never knows when a great photo op will present itself. Instead of collecting tchotchkes (EE) or other things to collect dust and/or take over my budget, I have photo collections. They keep so nicely in their files on my laptop's desktop. Hardly any dust. : ) I have a collection of birds sitting on statues. There is a collection of funny signs and unique storefronts. A collection of flamingos, of course (which is starting to materialize as a physical collection too, uhoh). Tattoos. Sunsets. And my favorite collection of pictures that I have taken, entitled "Only in Puerto Rico." Some of these collections have made it onto facebook, and I think my newest may have to as well. This week started a new collection for me. It doesn't have a title yet. One of the ideas that I'm playing with is "You know you're in the South when..." and here is the first picture of that collection, "Cajun wine glasses." : )
i do wish you had bought one and to use as a candle jar for your next hurricane!
ReplyDeleteYour photo collection sounds so interesting!! I've never heard of anyone else doing that...I would love to see them. Does anyone use Flickr anymore? or is there somewhere new like that that you could post all your "collections" for us to see?....Or when you run out of ideas for blog posts, how about a photo collection post?
ReplyDeleteThe "only in pr collection is an album on my facebook," the rest i should put on there, too...
DeleteIt's funny... up North we call them Redneck wine glasses! :)
