19 for 2019: week 15 and 16 update

Week of 8 April

Most of what I did this week was around my photography. On Sunday, I spent several hours in town taking photos, some of which aligned (I hope) with some of the assignments for the course I’m doing (thing 1). I need to sort them and decide if any of them met the brief. (This one did.)

I’m not sure that’s how you’re supposed to do these assignments. You’re supposed to go out with the instructions in mind and photograph those. I guess loosely, I did, because I had the theme in mind but not the exact instructions. (In the example above, the instruction was to pay attention to the foreground.)

I put some more photos in my portfolio collection in Lightroom (thing 2) but I really need to sort through it and keep on top of editing the ones I want to showcase.

For my health program, this week we were looking at proteins and I learned about sources of essential amino acids and combinations of plant-based proteins that can provide them all. I found some interesting looking recipes using beans and added them into my meal plan (thing 6).

I added a couple of things I want to put in my Bucket List journal (thing 18) but still haven’t written anything in the actual book.

Week of 15 April

Another photography week. Now that daylight saving has ended, it gets dark sooner and dusk happens earlier, so I took the chance to go walking after work a couple of days this week to take some photos in the later afternoon and dusk light for the photo course (thing 1). Like last week, I haven’t sorted the photos but I’ve done them!

I stuck four collages into my 2018 photo journal (thing 11). I’m more than halfway there now. I spent a day sorting out my Lightroom catalogue and working out what collections I need (thing 19). It’s learning by doing.

I learned a lot about healthy fats (thing 6) and I think this is part of my diet I’m actually doing okay on at the moment so I don’t really need to make any adjustments. Maybe eat more almonds. I’m sure I can handle that.
