Post Daily Keeper Challenge

I thought of this challenge the other day while I was at work, and I am going to pursue it as much as possible.

My idea (maybe someone has already done this? idk.) is that every day you challenge yourself to go out and take some pictures, not many, but just as many as you feel comfortable. The idea is to make yourself realize that you don't have to travel far for a good picture, and a good picture to you is the only thing that matters. So take some pictures and immediately upload them to your computer and check out which ones you would call "keepers". As for me, I like to take a few that I see potential in and edit them to what I have in mind.

Who knows maybe after a week, you will have something to put on your wall?

I've done this for two days and am pleased with the two keepers that I have...

And this was taken about 15 minutes ago =)

Hopefully some of you will try this challenge with me. My goal is to capture an image that I will hang on my wall as a large print.

Default i like the challange

First of all i love the moon shot u took but think it would have more impact if it was not centered. Here is one that I took while the baby was in the bath.

1 "keeper"/day is a HUGE challenge..I *might* average 1 "keeper"/week. Good Luck!

I love this, as I usually go wandering around the outskirts of town during lunch and look for shots. I'll definitely start posting some.

That'd be great, I'm starting back to school and I have 2 photography classes so I'll be taking pictures more often..I tried doing it every day but, hey, that's why this is a "challenge"!

Okay, I decided I would give the Daily Keeper Challenge a try. I'll primarily keep them on my flickr account, but here's the one from today.
