How to keep a Photography Journal

I love to take pictures in an artistic way.

I would like to share with you some tips that I found on the web
on how to improve our photography skills

Keep a Photography Journal

Sometimes when Lisa and I are out, I would get this great idea for a photograph that I would like to try out but more often than not, I'd forget it before we even get home. Fed up, I decided to start a photography journal.

Lisa wanted to join me and got a Moleskine for it since she prefers writing on those. I got a local one that's similarly made but bound in real leather. The construction is not as sturdy but it's cheaper so it works for me. But enough about notebooks and back to the topic at hand.

I selected some of my shots that I think could be improved in some way. I then shrunk them down in Photoshop so I could cram as many photos as I can in a 4R print. I'd print them out and cut them up, and then stick them on the notebook. (Lisa likes to say I'm scrapbooking, so I hum the theme to The Godfather while doing this to feel more manly.) Beside the images, I write down what could have made the photo better.
