So? What will it be?

For all of my planning, I find myself somewhat in the same position at the beginning of SoFoBoMo last year … undecided on which way to go with my project. The huge difference between then and now is that ‘then’, I was sweating it, a bit anxious, worried that I wouldn’t be able to produce anything that I liked, etc. This year, none of those feelings are present. It’s more of a feeling of: “I’ll end up where I’m supposed to end up and everything will go exactly like it is supposed to go.”. Talk about relaxed!

I’m excited about starting. The only thing that I’m fairly sure of is that all of the photos will come from South Carolina. That’s about it. I’m still on the fence between 2 projects and a third one has bubbled up in my brain this morning having to do with the Ashely River, which could easily be incorporated into one of the other two. Who knows? I don’t. As a matter of fact, the projects have so much similarity that should I decide in a change in direction midstream, depending on which direction, it would be pretty easy. If I decided to go with “The field across the street” (working title), but then decided that I’d prefer to do the “Visual Haiku” project, it would be a simple matter to place incorporate shots of TFATS into the Visual Haiku project. Going the other way would not be so easy, to be sure. I’d have to ditch a lot of photos that didn’t have anything to do with that field.

This year will be focused a little more on placement and sequencing of the photos to tell an overall story. Scribus, my desktop publishing/bookmaker is sitting quietly on the desktop idling, waiting for the word “Go!”.

BTW: How does the image at the top appear on your monitor? On my Mac, which I have calibrated, it appears to have a nice range of tones; however, on my work monitor, it looks kind of muddy and bit too dark.
