You may have heard of it before. Basically, you have a list of 26 words and you take a picture to represent each one. I loved participating in it and thought it might be another photography project you could try!<br /><br />Here is a link to the photos I took for the February challenge: http://km101in1001.blogspot.com/p/26-things-challenge.htmlKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003006122825031551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-63070557324304427702010-07-25T16:29:32.494-05:002010-07-25T16:29:32.494-05:00I love the idea of journaling through photos....an...I love the idea of journaling through photos....and I love looking at other people's efforts.

I've been trying really hard not to stress myself out lately about how much I'm posting and more importantly how much I'm commenting. Taking a six month break from blogging really helped with the guilty feeling of not visiting everyone all the time (although I still wish I could). <br /><br />I like the idea of taking pictures and journaling that way. And I don't think you need to give up blogging to do so. I love how Amanda posts her pictures and it also gives us a glimpse into the real life (if you're OK with posting about this). I'm more personal and I like getting personal with other bloggers.<br /><br />Enjoy!!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-64800713480015475172010-07-24T20:43:44.803-05:002010-07-24T20:43:44.803-05:00Enjoy The Journey Molly, and the camera.

One of the nicest things has been meeting lovely people like Molly!<br />I've always kept visual diaries when travelling. <br />ENJOY THE JOURNEY !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470961835179653158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-38867257889746309562010-07-24T18:16:14.852-05:002010-07-24T18:16:14.852-05:00Sounds like a great project Molly.

I'm used to journaling on a regular basis, so, for the most part I have been able to do it. Due to some commitments, however, I needed to give myself permission to take a break or two lately. It was a bit of a challenge for me because I like to write and I need the discipline of doing it on a regular basis. <br /><br />I do find myself wandering our garden on a regular basis, taking pictures of flowers, or golden leaves, and even snow and it has been fun to look back at what I have done. Blogging helps with that as I download (or is it upload - can never remember) them daily and put them in dated files with descriptions, such as garden, coneflowers, moonflower, so that I can find them when I want to use them.

I saw Amanda's blog and your name was on the list of participants! <br /><br />What kind of camera do you have? I have a Nikon D40, but I saw pictures of someone who just got a Canon Rebel Ti (is that the name?) and the pictures are gorgeous. She said it's definitely the camera and not her expertise since she's new to photography. I'd like to upgrade, so I was just curious to know what you have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926593497861922526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-27439582759193365602010-07-23T11:15:44.808-05:002010-07-23T11:15:44.808-05:00Molly, I think that sounds lovely.

I think our personalities are very similar from what I've read on your blog and ENJOY THE JOURNEY is a fabulous mantra. <br /><br />I, too, am taking an August blogging break. I'm going to take the next several weeks to recharge and refuel. I'll still be around some, but I'm not pressuring myself to do anything.
