I don't list the photos I take but I scribble down notes about the context of the photos. I find this helpful when I write a blog. I will be using your list idea for observational practice mostly. Training the eye to take in what I usually will miss if I am not conscience of it. Ultimately, I am hoping, it will add more photos to consider for my blog.Folkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680807318635780516.post-21786909726060078802013-10-24T22:26:01.069-04:002013-10-24T22:26:01.069-04:00Good to know, thanks!

Do a lot of photographers make lists as they take their photos? But creating a list or "inventory" is indeed a nice framework for focus & observation. There are so many small details that I can pass by in a day...Sketchbook Wanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850319000824866265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680807318635780516.post-3116165647400246802013-10-24T15:20:21.781-04:002013-10-24T15:20:21.781-04:00This practice of journaling as one walks is a grea...This practice of journaling as one walks is a great idea. Not only good for watercolor artists like yourself but also for photographers. Doing so sharpens the observant eye for what is before you. It makes your mind observant for the moment -- a great way to realize that you are in the now and gives you more to paint or photograph. thanks for the idea.-- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680807318635780516.post-80491795368979753832013-10-24T11:01:10.311-04:002013-10-24T11:01:10.311-04:00Comme toujours, oops, oups, houp-là: Merci toujour...Comme toujours, oops, oups, houp-là: Merci toujours de m'apprendre ta belle langue...<br />Je pense que ça c'est maintenant correct...Sketchbook Wanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850319000824866265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680807318635780516.post-20889156453525798972013-10-24T10:56:30.998-04:002013-10-24T10:56:30.998-04:00Malyss, tu es trop gentil de trouver de la poésie ...Malyss, tu es trop gentil de trouver de la poésie dans mon écriture..<br />.J'ai trouvé le poème "Inventaire" de Prévert.
