It seems that I've finally given up on trying to take a picture every day. For real this time. I do things like this all the time; start projects keep them up for a little while, then drop it like a hot potato. I'm still going to bring my camera when I "do things". Lately my social life has been non-existant. This is mostly because I have a big deadline at work. One that coincides with the date of my semi-annual performance review.

For those of you wondering how to take better pictures with your point and shoot camera, take a look at morguefile's photography lessons. Some of the lessons don't apply, but you can get the basics of composition in Lesson 1.

My biggest tip for everybody is this: know when its appropriate to use your flash. I find that I'm hardly ever satisfied with pictures when my flash is the single light source. Then again, I don't have a tripod so my attempts at slow-sync flash photos don't usually turn out very well either.
