Blog Disclaimer #1

Yesterday it took exactly a second and a half after clicking "publish post" to realize that by saying I would do this daily for 13 days I jumped in way over my head. And by over my head I mean I just might drown before Blog Day 3.

Thus starts my list of Blog Disclaimers.

Blog Disclaimer #1 - In spite of the spiffy title, "Point, Shoot, Speak", I might not post a photo every day. I'm sure you're dying to know why. I will tell you. It's because there just isn't a picture for everything.

Here is a perfect example. I wanted to write about how I came up with the name for my blog. But it really is a story just about names. And how do you photograph that?

I thought about this. A lot. (Insert a vision of me flailing and screaming, "I'm drowning! I'm drowning!")

After much thinking (flailing and screaming) I came up with an idea. A very bad idea. This was it.

How I Named My Blog 

By: Kamian
Yes, this is a real name.

Below is a series of photos. 

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you see each one?
(Not including photo critiques.)

If the first thing that came to your mind was, "Uhhh...random", you were right on track and we should go to lunch.

And while we're on the topic of random...my name. Kamian. A little random. No one else has it, no one has heard of it, and no one can pronounce it. Or spell it. So it seemed simple to use my name to name my blog. But it wasn't simple at all. First I tried "Kam's Place". Taken. By someone named Amelia. Yes, Amelia. Amelia who had named her blog, "Kam's Place". Does anyone else feel like this is just wrong?

So I tried several variations on Kam. Taken, taken, and taken. This took a few days to get over. It made me wonder if I wanted to blog at all. But after the shock wore off I tried the more obvious, Kamian, because no one has this name, right? Not right. Kamian was actually taken by some person who had combined the names of her "beautiful" children, Kamryn and Christian, to come up with the blog name..."Kamian". And she has not entered a post since April of 2006. I didn't even know you could blog in April of 2006! Enter a few more recovery days. And a big sigh. For several reasons. Mostly because I didn't know you could blog in April of 2006.

This left me with no choice but to get creative. Ew.

The End

That pretty much is the end of the story. I don't even remember how I came up with the name, "Point, Shoot, Speak". Except that I had to, and once I did, I liked it. So it stuck.

And now you see what I mean. There just isn't a picture for everything.

That about covers it for Blog Disclaimer #1.
