early January photos

As I walked around today, taking photos with 3 cameras on hand, I realized I might be able to qualify photography as being productive. I was being a little down on myself earlier this week, thinking I wasn't productive enough over the time I've had off work recently, but instead I've just been spending some more time on photos. Last week I spent some time catching up on my cell phone photos. 2012 was the second full calendar year where I took at least one photo a day with my cell phone, but I'm still a bit behind posting the photos on flickr. I've also been playing around with the Diana camera I got for Christmas.  I love how light the camera is and as a result, I carry it with me more often, which means I can use it to capture the moments I sometimes miss with some of my nicer cameras. Hopefully I'll develop some of the film from it in the next few days. In the meantime, here are some photos I took with my DSLR over these first couple of days of 2013.

 although I just randomly came across this crayon on the "grass", I kinda like the idea of doing a whole project of taking crayons outside and trying to take photos of each color on something of the respective color like this...
