My 300th post

"

Richmond, BC, Canada

It must be the altitude. I am never able to take dusk photos like this at the Tropic of Cancer, where I live.  The last ray of daylight was still evident from the harbor light post, but the sun had already set about half an hour ago.  When I stepped off the car, I saw this and I was actually walking very briskly trying to catch the last light. This wasn't any great composition, but I just remember the hour I spent at this place vividly.
By the way, this is the 300th post since I first started this blog about a year ago!!  I had never before done anything with any persistence, and when I started this blog, I was telling myself this would be a testimonial to yourself, to prove that you could persist on a thing you started.  It was supposed to be a daily photo blog, and at the beginning for almost 9 months, I had kept up with my promise, with only very occasional misses due to my traveling, or the rare problem with Blogspot.  But towards the recent months, I admit I had been slipping more and more frequently.  The excuse is due to my busy schedule, but the truth is I'm running out of pictures to post.  The motto of the blog is "my daily pursuit of non-mediocrity".  I thus would be hesitant to post a picture when I really didn't have a feel for it.  Another truth is I had been trying to keep to my principles when I first started this blog -- share my feelings towards the pictures I have taken, and no more.  So I had kept to this premises by avoiding talking anything about camera gears, and anything unrelated.  Most of the time, my feelings towards my own pictures are, well, my own feelings, and in a lot of times, I believe it is difficult to have an audience sharing the same feeling, even for only a small audience.  This is evident by, well, the traffic to this blog.  OK, if there is seldom anyone sharing your feelings, then what's the point of doing this blog?  I have been pondering with this question for a while and I decided I would have a change of direction after I completed my 300 posts. And here we go, the 300th post today.  What would I do tomorrow?  I don't know, may be I'll just stop.  But I really would hate to see this blog go, so that is not an option, for now at least.  Let's sleep on it tonight, so to speak, tomorrow is another fine day..............
