Although I had done photo walks on my own quite a bit in the past, one year ago was my first photo walk with more than just a few people. It was such a great experience that Frank, Jeffery, and myself formed Faded & Blurred. A lot has happened in the past year and it only seemed fitting that we go back to Los Angeles for this year’s Worldwide Photo Walk.

Another Faded & Blurred photo walk this weekend… this one to the Getty Center in LA. We were worried the rain would stick around since that was the forecast, but Frank said he called in some favors and we had beautiful skies all day.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.

After taking a two year break I have decided to join my friends at the Faded & Blurred community in another Project 365. It was a difficult decision to make. I knew what a commitment it would be. Some days it is just not fun at all and I know probably halfway through March I will be wondering what sort of an idiot I am for choosing to do this again. Right now, though, I am very excited about it. I need the accountability to keep the camera in my hands everyday. Here is the photo from today…

I won’t be posting them here everyday, just when I feel like it, but you can see the rest and keep up with my progress here: Flickr

And if you would like to join in on the fun we would love to have you: F&B 365

By the way, I don’t think I have mentioned it here, but Faded & Blurred has a new look and feel to it. I am so excited to be a part of this group. The site has a wonderful community of photographers; both hobbyists and professional; all more than willing to help, answer questions, and keep each other inspired. If you have even the slightest interest in photography (or web design or art or video) I would encourage you to come check it out and register (there’s no cost involved).

If you do decide to register, let me know and request me as a friend!
