Trying to get a little more creative with my posts. Sometimes it can be a bit complicated for me to find interesting things to photograph, because I'm always at home, in my car or at work these days, but now that my schedule is opening up a bit, I'm hoping it will be easier.<br />

I'm still slow on the upload, but hoping to get back into a regular rhythm soon. I'm noticing that I've been doing a lot of <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2010/02/winter-frickin-wonderland.html" target="_blank">close-ups</a> this round. Also there have been more <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2010/04/red-yellow-tulip.html" target="_blank">flowers </a>than expected for winter. And I'm not usually prone to selfies, but I'm trying to push my own boundaries.<br />

This is the lamest "top posts" list I've ever had, for either Sam Can Shoot or <a href="http://truetowords.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">True to Words</a>. I posted so little last year, I had to actually cut my "top 10" list in half, down to five. Sort of. I hope that this short-ish list helps to motivate me to do better in 2013.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/12/night-out.html" target="_blank">Night Out</a>. Yes, this post that I just published last week ranks in my top five list because I've neglected my poor blog just that bad. I'm committed to turning it around, though, and this post is actually a good example of that because these photos were part of a year-long backlog of unsorted photos that have now been edited and uploaded. This was a fun night out for a friend's birthday from back in March.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/01/stop-sopa-pipa.html" target="_blank">STOP SOPA & PIPA</a>. Back in January of 2012, our Congress and Senate were going to vote on some terrible bills that would have had a severely detrimental effect on the internet as we know it. On January 16th, websites across the U.S. participated in a "blackout" to protest the legislation. The blackout was literal - visitors to protesting sites would simply see a black screen with maybe an explanation for why the site was basically nonfunctional. I couldn't figure out the HTML to blacking out my blog and all the websites that could teach me how were blacked out! So I just sort-of made up my own version of the blackout with this post on that day.<br />
<br />
3. (tie) <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/01/365-project-2012-week-2.html" target="_blank">365 Project 2012 ~ Week 2</a> and <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/01/365-project-2012-week-3.html" target="_blank">365 Project 2012 ~ Week 3</a>. Once upon a time, I participated in the 365 project - repeatedly. I took photos and blogged about it - for three weeks in 2012 (and varying amounts of time in previous years). All three weeks ended up in the top five list. These two were tied at third. I have to say that these posts have me wanting to participate again, but also up my game a bit. <br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/01/scoopit-topic-photography-inspiration.html" target="_blank">Scoop.It Topic ~ Photography: Inspiration & Technique</a>. In addition to blogging here about photography, I curate a topic on Scoop.It that is filled with links about the subject, from random photo inspiration to different capturing techniques. Check it out and follow me if you're on Scoop.It - I'll follow you back! This actually tied with <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/01/top-posts-for-2011.html" target="_blank">Sam Can Shoot Top Posts for 2011</a>, but is it really good form to include a previous year's "best of the year post" in a new yearly countdown? (See what I did there?)<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2012/01/365-project-2011-week-1.html" target="_blank">365 Project 2012 ~ Week 1</a>. This post is just a little painful because it draws attention to how many times I've attempted the 365 project of taking one photo a day, every day, for a year. It's just so easy to slip up - all you have to do is have a bad day, busy day, sick day... I'm determined, though. I started again this year with my 365 project, and not only do I want to do this every day, but I want to actually do what this exercise is supposed to do: Increase my skills and open my eyes to new ways of looking at things. Or at least, that's what I think its supposed to do.<br />
<br />
I hope the brevity of this list, and the shortness of the corresponding post at my other blog, <a href="http://truetowords.blogspot.com/2013/01/true-to-words-top-10-posts-of-2012.html" target="_blank">True to Words' Top Posts of 2012</a>, will inspire me to be a more prolific writer, blogger and photographer in 2013.<br />
<br />
Part of the reason for the short lists is that I was working too much, still taking photos, but getting behind with sorting and uploading. Now I've carving out more time for creative work, because it really is important for my well-being. <br />
<br />
On the negative side, as far behind as I am, my blog suffered for it and now I have a long slog yet to get through them all.<br />
<br />
On the plus side, though, I think in that time I've sharpened my critical eye for the photos I'm willing to upload vs. how many I actually take. When I look at earlier portions of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32563497@N05/" target="_blank">my Flickr stream</a> compared to now, my sets are much smaller and the quality of the images is much higher.<br />
<br />
I took most of the year off blogging but continued practicing the photography craft, and got better. Now I hope to do a better job of sharing the things that I've learned through Sam Can Shoot and learning even more along the way!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17541041766477875058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426108248144731129.post-29432151384280002492012-12-27T07:00:00.000-06:002012-12-27T07:00:00.092-06:00Night Out<div style="text-align: center;">

Yesterday, after I peeled the image off the sketch pad, I realized that the Sharpie color leaking through the paper and the stars I created as a guide had become new image all on its own. An unintended consequence, but a pretty one!<br />

By the time it was charged enough to take a photo (charged at the AT&T store at the Mall of America - a real life saver!), it was dark.So I made this with a marker set, took a photo and applied filters. An unexpected and fun way to update the blog!<br />

I resisted Instagram for a while - it just seemed too simplistic - but now I'm hooked.<br />
<br />
Part of the reason this blog screeched to a halt is the amount of time it takes to sort through, process and upload photos to Flickr. I looove Flickr, but I got too busy to use it.<br />
<br />
Then, Instagram created an Android app and now I'm back to posting photos. I still have a Flickr account and will be uploading there, but Instragram has opened a whole new world for me.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite Instagram photos (so far):<br />

A quick plug! I recently talked about the photo sites <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2011/11/pinterest.html" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>and <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2011/12/carbonmade.html" target="_blank">carbonmade </a>on Sam Can Shoot. I briefly touched on <a href="http://truetowords.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-online-toy-scoopit.html" target="_blank">Scoop.It at my True to Words blog</a>. But I never mentioned my photo topic under Scoopt.It here!<br />
<br />
I have started curating a topic called <a href="http://www.scoop.it/t/photography-inspiration-technique" target="_blank">Photography: Inspiration & Technique</a> at Scoop.It.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“The best photography information and inspiration on the net for amateur, advanced, semi-professional and professional photographers alike.”</blockquote>
It has been fun! If the topic interests you, please check it out and if you are on Scoop.It, you can follow it, too!<br />
<br />
Do you use Scoop.It, Pinterest or carbonmade?

Nothing spectacular, nothing like <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32563497@N05/5374082513/in/set-72157625871660518" target="_blank">last year's stellar start</a>, but it is the fact that I started that counts! Plus, I have been so sick, all I've done is work and sleep. They will get better, because these projects have vastly improved my skills. Even if I don't finish this one, which I really hope I do, I know that I will have at least learned from the experience. <br />

At 756 at the time of this writing, it is almost 100 views ahead of the next runner-up. It is also one of my favorite photos ever, because it captures an image of my favorite graffiti art creations ever.<br />
<br />

<br />
Though the photo is treated to get the black and white with a touch of color effect, the graffiti was really there and was not a photo shop trick. Loved the creative use of what was there and reinterpret into something else. Which I guess I also sort-of did when I decided to make the original below into what you see above.<br />
<br />

Similar to the <a href="http://samcanshoot.blogspot.com/2011/12/stone-arch-bridge-series.html" target="_blank">Stone Arch Bridge study</a> from earlier this week, this is a photo I have wanted to recreate. It is located near the bridge, so as soon as I finished taking that series of photos, I walked over to where I could find this scene. I was disappointed with what I found. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Okay, so it was a different time of year (fall versus spring) and so of course it was overgrown compared to the last time I was there. But the art below the foliage has changed and I am less of a fan. It was bound to happen, of course, because the nature of a public canvas includes a susceptability to alteration (or even obliteration in the case of city graffiti cleanups). But it doesn't mean I have to like it!<br />

It was taken with a Kodak DC3400 Zoom, a digital camera manufactured in 2000. Needless to say, when I got my Canon Rebel XSi, there was more than one photo I wish I could retake with the new camera, including this one. <br />

Since it is a stone bridge, of course it is still there and I've been in the area repeatedly. But since the last time I was in the spot where the photo was taken, something had happened to the stairs and they were blocked off. On repeated visits. But then one day in September when I visited, the stairway was open!<br />

Does it make it less of an online toy if it actually serves a professional purpose?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://carbonmade.com/" target="_blank">Carbonmade </a>is an online portfolio service for photography, illustrations, video and other imagery. For free, one can make a portfolio with up to 5 projects and 35 images (but no video). For $12 a month, though, you can have up to 50 projects, 500 images and 10 videos. <br />
<br />
For now and the foreseeable future, I have the free version. See my <a href="http://saraduanegladden.carbonmade.com/" target="_blank">carbonmade photo portfolio</a> here! But even with its limitations, it absolutely did the trick.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had to create an online portfolio for work. I recently made a big career change from being a primarily freelance and contract copywriter to being a full-time lead copywriter at a marketing agency in the Twin Cities metro. During a team-building exercise, one of my co-workers proposed that I, being an amateur photographer with some published photos, create custom images for some of our clients. The stock service we use doesn’t always cut it.<br />
<br />
Of course I loved the idea and went about creating an online portfolio to prove that I could do it. And 5 projects with 35 photos were more than enough to make my point. It was easy to customize my portfolio's appearance to make the images look their best. I'm a little disappointed with how the resolution looks, but that's probably because I'm using the free version.<br />
<br />
Now it is up to me to determine how to best start this project and create an action plan for how to implement it. So yeah, the easy part is done, now comes the hard part. But I can see the value for having original imagery as part of an online content marketing plan. Everyone has the same stock photos, it’s the online marketing campaigns that create their own imagery that tend to stand out because it more closely aligns with their brand values and standards.<br />
<br />
I'm going to help with that to the best of my ability! And probably expand my ability while I'm at it!<br />
<br />
For the moment, my portfolio will remain as is. If I have to create another portfolio in the future for a different purpose, at least I will have a start. This served its purpose for now and isn’t needed at the moment, but one may never know when opportunities will arrive!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17541041766477875058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426108248144731129.post-81347259432586283492011-11-30T11:00:00.000-06:002011-11-30T11:28:41.167-06:00Pinterest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of my new favorite online toys for photography and inspiration is Pinterest. <br />
<br />
Pinterest is a tool that allows users to organize and share all the beautiful images and videos they find on the web. It is like a virtual pinboard or collage to which one can continuously add.<br />
<br />
Some of the suggestions for its use are to plan weddings, decorate a home, organize recipes or plan crafting projects.<br />
<br />
Of course, I'm using it for my own ends. I have nine pinboards on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>so far, mostly for inspiration or aspirations, including:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/snduanegladden/fun/" target="_blank">Fun</a></li>
<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/snduanegladden/mmm/" target="_blank">Mmm</a></li>
<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/snduanegladden/people/" target="_blank">People</a></li>
<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/snduanegladden/dream-home/" target="_blank">Dream Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/snduanegladden/landscapes-cityscapes/" target="_blank">Landscapes & Cityscapes</a></li>
</ul>
I've actually already made a recipe off of the "Mmm" pinboard, too! <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/42854633923783750/" target="_blank">Sweet potato casserole</a>! And it was delicious, I'll be making it again. I also have plans to create the <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/42854633923808508/" target="_blank">Flower Power eggs</a> in the future. The Dream Home will be a little harder to make, though.<br />
<br />
Users can also browse pinboards created by other people and follow their creators so you can see how they evolve in the future. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to find images and inspiration from other people who share your interests.<br />
<br />
It isn't yet completely open to the public. To get started, one must <a href="http://pinterest.com/landing/" target="_blank">ask for an invite</a>. It doesn't seem to take long for approval though, I was pinning within a few hours of my request. <br />
<br />
For me, it is just a fun new online toy to share some of the interesting things I find on the internet. :)<br />
