I took a picture every day for the last 30 days. It sounded like it could be fun. I did it because I'm not often a picture taking kind of person.
But I enjoy a picture as much as the next man, and I think there's a lot of artistic thinking and technical skill involved in taking good pictures, which is something worth practicing.
The most disheartening part of this challenge was when I lost my camera's charger. I should have gone straight out and got a new one. Instead I took pictures with my computer, or with my iPod.
When I wasn't using a camera that allowed me to manually adjust the white balance, and the focus, and all that, the challenge lost a big part of the "technical skill" aspect, and that made me take it less seriously, and probably took worse pictures. I'll do a gallery of some of the best and worst pictures soon.
Despite mixed feelings on the success of this particular trial, I intend to renew this challenge for my upcoming trip in India (3 days from now!).
Summary: Try it out if you're curious. Everybody likes a picture. At the very least, you'll have a photographic diary of a month of your life.
