Casual Day Images: 30 Day Photo Challenge

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 25:IN YOUR BAG

I could have dumped out the contents of my purse for this challenge, but the thought of listing and explaining all the unnecessary crap I have in there was a bit overwhelming. Instead, I chose the bag that gets my morning started out right...the yoga mat bag!

Several years ago, I purchased the carrying bag and green tree of wisdom mat from Gaiam. Over the years, I have used it for my at-home exercise as well as yoga classes. A couple years ago, the purple mat was a Christmas gift for my daughter as she was beginning some yoga and exercise practices.

Today, both the mats fit in the bag so we can attend a yoga class together.

What's in a Name? Why Casual Day Images?

Once I made the decision to create a blog devoted to my love of photography, I needed a name.

After spending the better part of a morning trying to come up with a BlogSpot name that was not already taken, I gave up and went for a bike ride. Sometimes, getting up and walking (or riding) away from a problem can give the most clarity for discovering an answer.

About six years ago, I came up with an idea for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry designs using recycled denim jeans. The name I came up with for my line of jewelry was Casual Day Designs.

Upon returning from my bike ride, I typed casualdayimages.blogspot.com into the "Address" prompt of the "Create a new blog" window, and had a winner.

Through this blog, while I wouldn't mind sharing with the world (or anyone who stumbles on this page) my love of photography, I basically created the page for a personal recording of the passion I have for the craft.

I want to resurrect the images that have become buried in the archives of my pictures files as well as be accountable to myself through prompts and challenges to learn new techniques and keep taking Images every Day...nothing formal--just Casual.
