Reflection Post

For my Journalism class at school, we were assigned to create a blog. It could be about anything, school appropriate of course, that we wanted it to be about. We had 10 weeks to do the assignment, but being my slacker self I did most of it the few days before it was due. I probably should have managed my time better because if I did I think I really would have enjoyed doing this a lot more. Of course even when rushed it was pretty fun to reflect on pictures I had taken in the past, teach people how to get certain kinds of pictures, and review cameras I own.
    Before I started this blog I really didn't know what it meant to "blog." I had heard of it but I did not really know how to do it. If I didn't have to do it for a grade I wouldn't have ever done one either. But now I realize that it's actually not bad and most of my posts I've had fun typing. Choosing a topic was difficult, and I took probably a week or so deciding, as when asked to do something completely open I usually don't have a clue what my subject is going to be. I ended up going with my favorite hobby, photography, and I believe it was the best choice. As one of the requirements for the assignment was a photo on every post, I knew that I could do that easily, since I have thousands of photos of my own I have taken for the past year or so that I could use right on my computer.
   My favorite posts were the open posts of course, I got to explain the story behind some of my shots and that is something I like doing. I also like reading the stories behind other people's photos. The stories I typed brought back great memories of times past, and the 3 that I did were by far my favorite posts to type. The review I did on the Nikon D3200 was pretty fun too because for some reason I just like reviewing things. I think it's interesting to hear how people got the photos they did and hear the adventures they had while trying to get them.
  This is in no way a farewell post as I hope to continue this blog, probably posting once a week or so and maybe more if I have some extra time.  Now that I will choose what I post here I will definitely have more freedom and also more fun running this blog. I can also post on my own time and not when I'm required to. Check back regularly to see more photos and read more about them and I hope you've enjoyed the posts I have so far. Thanks for viewing!

Here's a photo I took yesterday on our snow day off of school.
