not just a monkey with a camera

i think that we've fairly well established at this point that i am not a blogger.  let's be honest.  anyone who can let their blog sit un-updated for 3 1/2 years cannot claim to be a blogger.  I'm okay with this.  there's too much pressure associated with maintaining a blog.  That's not why I'm posting again.  thanks to some idea stealing from Katie Corbin (love her!) and the image posted below, i've decided to take a more proactive approach to photography.

There are two reasons that i don't think i'm a monkey with an SLR camera.  First, i don't have an SLR camera.  Second, i don't think i'm a photographer.  I have two fixed-lens cameras and sometimes take pictures with them.  But i want to take better pictures and maybe brag and show off a little, so i am henceforth posting a picture each week.  I'm doing this for me, but if anyone wants to tell me how much they love my pictures in a comment, it may act as some positive reinforcement to continue with my little project.

Each month, I will choose a theme, and each weekend I will post one picture that has to do with the theme.  I'm loving some of the themes i've chosen, but you'll just have to wait to see what they are. If you have any suggestions for themes, feel free to make them.
