Casual Day Images: March--ing ...Onward and Upward

March--ing ...Onward and Upward

I downloaded the Instagram app on my phone recently...anything for the betterment of the craft, right?

...Like I have time for something additional to check and post to throughout the day.

Although, you can link your Instagram to your Facebook, I am trying a different approach. Afterall, why have both if you are just going to post the same pictures to both social media sites...it's usually the same people following you on both anyway. Redundant much?

I've opted to make my Instagram page completely separate and different from any posts I make on Facebook. Not only that, but I am sticking to strictly black and white images with my Instagram posts...here's my home page thumbnails so far...

It's kinda fun...we'll see how long it lasts.

Guess I can add engagement photos to my portfolio as well. Had the opportunity to take pictures for a fun-loving couple this month. Got some pretty cute shots if I do say so myself.

Oh fun! I'll find you over there. I do share some of my photos back to my business page (I try not to share all, with the exception of art images) simply to tease it and partly because I alone just don't create that much content. Also, I usually have separate people that follow me on each platform I'm on, but I still hear you - I dislike seeing the same thing over and over.

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.
