{8-52} - Taking the plunge

{8-52} - Taking the plunge, originally uploaded by Mr Bopperleaner.

I've left it behind. I'm on the edge, why i am here, i'm not entirely too sure.
Life is a journey and sometimes you just have to hop on and face obscurity and the unknown. Opportunities are everywhere but can you see them and will you take them?

I've left quite a few things behind - friends, family, job and the usual day-to-day routine.
I am filled with mixed emotions,thoughts and decisions about where i am going, what i will be doing and when will i return. One thing is sure though...

I've taken the plunge!

52 Weeks of .... ME!

So I've started a new project inspired by the group 52 weeks.

Too often do i shy away from the lens side of the camera. Be it fear, embarrasment or sheer vanity i don't normally appear in many photos from my camera. It's time to change that.

I'm going to document me - one pic a week, for the next 52 weeks. A self-portrait so long as it contains a part/limb of me in the image. In addition, im going to have a theme/story to accompany the image to provide some context and a vision of what goes on in this head of mine.

Let the fun and games begin.

What's in your bag?

Home on a Friday night and got nothing to do...
Why not empty your bags and document it to show the world?



Ever since i got hooked into Flickr so many moons ago, it never ceases to surprise me on the creative ideas that emerge from this social photo sharing site. What can seem such a simple concept to an individual can actually be taken to a whole new level when shared with others.
Take the "What's in your bag" group that i have recently joined. The concept; take a photo of what is in your work / camera / travel / hand bag and let others catch a glimpse of how you tick.
I find it a truly insightful way to see how we have evolved and think from these modern age. Rarely will you not find some mobile or electronic gadget in one's bag. Have we become all to dependent on these electronic gadgets in order to survive the fast paced lifestyle?

So what's in yours?
