So, I’m going to break my own postaday rules today. I’m supposed to take at least one picture a day. Done. I should take a picture that can stand on its own. That’s my intention. I’m going to post a picture every day, and that picture must be taken the same day. There are a few more too, but this is the one I’m going to break today. I’ve taken at least 50 pictures today. I used a selection of these on my Norwegian knitting blog. They obviously serve a different purpose than those I post here. I’m saving the rest of the day’s pictures for a different occasion. So today’s postaday is now featuring a picture from Saturday. Can I break my own rules?

And on the topic postaday rules, I’m going to the states next week. I don’t know what kind of access I’ll have to the Internet. Should I make posts in advance and schedule the publishing for each day or should I take a chance on having access during the trip so I can post pictures every day?

My Oslo: Urban hike

A while back I decided to take photos out of my blog on knitting and handcrafts, and May 27th I posted my first picture here. I did some research and decided to do a picture a day and that’s how I discovered postaday. I can’t always bring my good camera gear along, but I always  have a camera at hand. My husband says walking with me now is like walking a dog, suddenly wandering off, crouching down in the bushes, climbing half way up a hill, always checking out some interesting sight or new angle. So after bringing a camera along every day for three months now, my computer is filling up with photos and I’m totally hooked.  That’s probably why I found my self looking through hundreds of pictures this evening, discovering that I’ve got some reoccurring topics. I bring my camera along everywhere I go, and since I live in Oslo I’ve got lots of pictures of Oslo. So here’s the beginning a series of posts I called “My Oslo” where I plan to post different themes. I get around by hiking, so I guess a suitable topic to start off with could be today’s “Urban hike”.
