    I got a new camera.

Can you take a photo of your photo with your photo?

I don't know what I shoot. Chances are, it'll just be random stuff around the house to just get used to the thing, which means I'll have nothing to share because there's not really anything cool in the house worth photographing.

We're in the dead of winter here in The States and it's worse than usual because of some kind of cold front from the arctic that's been here for weeks and is so big it stretches out all of the way to the south coast. So all of the animals have hunkered down so there's nothing in the backyard or the parks really worth shooting either. Plus, if I'm completely honest, I don't know if this kind of weather is safe for these kinds of cameras and I'm afraid of taking it out and ruining it.

If it's any consolation, of the dozens of "pretty cool" photographs I take with my smartphone, I only ever share one. I'm fairly new to this, as well, so don't worry about not having anything.

Hard work, as always. Hundreds of photos to produce one worth sharing is a good exchange considering how your skill, with time, will lessen that to a hundred, tops.
