Introducing: Ambivalent Images
Welcome, everyone, to ambivalent images. This is a little project I started back in March, because, well, once the EJF Auction was over and all I had to do was catch up on my reading, outline, and study for finals, I really had way too much time on my hands.
As I explain here, the idea was to take a picture every day and post a picture everyday. So far, I've been able to keep up with the posting, but actually taking a picture every day is the hard part. What you'll see is that I almost never post a picture the same day I take it. Generally, the time lag is a week or two (or more). So it's not exactly what I intended at the beginning, but it's been great fun, nonetheless. Perhaps with practice I'll get better at the daily photo and be able to cut the time between taking and posting. We'll see. The bonus to the delay between taking and posting the photos is that every time I post a photo I'm reminded of what I was doing a week or two ago. I'm pretty forgetful, so it's been an interesting perspective-adjuster.
Anyway, beginning today, a portion of the daily photo will appear here on ai as a new feature in the right column. Click the photo excerpt to go to the full version, which includes explanation and commentary from your humble blogger, as well as comment links so you can tell me if you ever see or read anything that grabs you. Enjoy.
Tech note: ambivalent images is just a simple MT blog. The MTOtherBlog plugin allows the daily image to appear here. If you'd like to start your own "photoblog" based on MT, you might want to take a look at the MTPhotoGallery plugin and the MTEmbedImage plugin. I may play with these at a later date.

Glad you like the photos, and you're right -- the Deep Creek area is a great getaway from D.C. I'm not sure I could put it on the list of the "most beautiful parts of the country," but it's pretty great. What other locations would be on your list?
Mine would have to include the Grand Tetons, Zion National Park, Glacier National Park, perhaps Mt. Shasta in NoCal, and many parts of the CA coast. That's just off the top of my head, for starters. Nevermind. It's too hard. ;-)

ok, you caught me. western MD and the eastern panhandle of WV is the most beautiful region i've been in, but i haven't really been to anywhere else cool.
but woods. i like trees, not deserts. and mountains.
