so, I was talking to my good friend e.scott today at dinner saying that I have really been wanting to have a name for my photoblog.  after dinner, I was about to sit down at my desk and do some work for school (which didn't happen right away).  I instead opened Microsoft Word and starting typing.

I wrote the phrase "being inspired one day at a time."  I like this, it is not about me or my photography, but instead focuses on the fact that I am constantly inspired by the world around me (whether it is a soy sauce container, or a 50 story skyscraper).  Yes, I'm on to something here.

I then looked up "inspired" with the thesaurus, which lead me to looking up "inspire," which lead me to "stir."  stir, I like the sound of that.I then looked up the definition of stir:

 stir / v. / to inspire; to affect with strong emotion.

perfect.  I also see the word as a command, telling me to look at the world around me and notice the small things (perhaps, I do need a Micro lens?).  Stir can also agitate:  stir / v. / to stir up trouble; to awaken.  

to make a long story short, I think I'm working on figuring out my name for my blog.  the photo is of a spoon I drew with pen (perhaps my logo?), scanned into my computer and then colored with photoshop (I really like this process).  So if someone is actually reading this, I would love to hear some feedback about this.
