I&#8217;m determined, but, you know, sometimes things don&#8217;t work out. I am not a professional photographer but I do like taking pictures, and I have them scattered through archives on Flickr, on Facebook (gotta get them OFF that hellsite). I am Gen X so most of my photos are still &#8211; to this day &#8211; ACTUAL photos that I had to go and get developed, and sit in photo albums. I&#8217;ve scanned much of it. Anyway, thought it might be fun &#8211; for me at least &#8211; to pull out a photo every day, at random, and post it. Maybe say a little something about it. Engage with my own capacious archive, in other words. Some photos I have fiddled with &#8211; using filters etc. &#8211; some are straight from the camera. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the first one: I took this picture out my bedroom window at my old apartment. I lived across from a school and I could see the American flag from out my bedroom window. If it was windy, you could hear it flapping and whipping around in the breeze. I always liked looking out the window and seeing it. <\/p>\n<p>This was taken at sunrise. Half of the sky was dark clouds, the other half was golden-gleam-y, which you can see in this photo. Plus, there was a strong wind, which adds to the drama. <\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5524078258_3a7cd990d7_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-165300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5524078258_3a7cd990d7_c.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5524078258_3a7cd990d7_c-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5524078258_3a7cd990d7_c-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5524078258_3a7cd990d7_c-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/5524078258_3a7cd990d7_c-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nIt seemed appropriate to post it today.
