What I Learned Today – Day 10
Blogging is so much more than just writing. To just get the writing done, you have to have all those beautiful images too. We don’t venture far away from our smartphones or our DSLR cameras. Our families can’t eat the delicious meals or treats we have created because we haven’t taken the “beauty shot” yet. We have Christmas in July because we have to get the shots done and the posts written way before the holiday season starts. We’ve got the kids dressed up in bathing suits during February to get those summer posts taken care of.
BUT even though we are diligent with our cameras and are always looking for the perfect shots (even if we missed them and are now trying to recreate the moment), sometimes we fail. Yes, it is hard to believe but sometimes we just suck at photography.
Thank goodness for FREE stock photography. Yes, that is right – beautiful and professional FREE images. You can find images on just about every subject you could think of to write about.
