Boring pictures? Here's what 'ya do...

Okay, you realize that your pictures are... at best, okay. Maybe you've got a few that look good.

But, they're still... boring.

So, what do you do about it?

It's simple. And pretty obvious.

Start cruising local websites. Read the weekend section of the newspaper.

Get your calendar out. And start planning something new to do every day.

Pick a variety of things. Some physical. Some mental. Some spiritual. Some artistic. Some cultural.

And pick a variety of contexts. Go with friends to some things. Go with family to others.

Okay, if you've got a bad day at work, or have pressing business, you can skip your plans. But don't make a habit of it. Get out there, and do some different things.

Bring a camera to these things. And have people take a lot of pictures.

Some of them will be good. Most won't, but some will.

Oh... and it's great for date planning too. You come off as a much more interesting person when you ask, "Hey, I was going to a reception for this cool new artist on Saturday - want to join me?", than than you do when you ask when she's free for dinner or or a cup of Starbuck's coffee. Yes?
