Connections are important, LTLYM site encourages connecting with the world and with others

Here is a link to a website called "Learning to Love You More". The site was conceived by a couple of artists to open up a forum for people to complete specific challenges in order to make specific and meaningful connections in their community. The challenges come in all forms, some are photography related, and once an individual completes one they will then upload the results of the challenge for others to appreciate. It is like an online gallery for artistic expression for the non-professional.

The specific assignment link I direct you to says to take a picture of the sun, maybe not too exciting but I appreciate the fact that so often I overlook the ordinary or mundane things I see everyday. I should instead stop and appreciate these ordinary things in life and by stopping to take a photo I will slow down and take a deep breath in the midst of stress. This in turn will benefit my ability to create better art.

I encourage anyone to take on one of these challenges and then post the result here on the blog. :)
