Photo Friday didn't last long (although I may have warned you that I'm terrible at sticking with things) but it's a new month and a new weekend so let's try a weekend challenge instead.

Snapshot Saturday is more about taking candid shots of everyday things, rather than hunting out the perfect shot for a particular prompt. So feel free to share a photo of something from your weekend - before and after shots of gardening progress, the shiny finish on your freshly cleaned vehicle (haha) or a good sunset.

Rules: No NSFW, no shots you didn't take yourself.

It's Friday! There was no prompt last week because I sort of went into lurk mode - it's a bad habit that I need to work on.

This week's prompt is black and white.

Whether it's a two-tone cat or something quite mundane made dramatic with filters, I want to see how the lack of colour can be a focus of your shot.

Usual rules apply: No NSFW and no shots you didn't take yourself.

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Man, this week seriously got away on me. The only photos I managed to take this week were either work related, or photos of things I needed to remember Hopefully this weekend will be a bit calmer.

This week I already have an idea of what I want to shoot and it's going to require me to get out of the house, which is kind of the whole point, at least for me.

This week, the prompt is: something that looks like a face, but isn't

The same rules apply, namely, it has to be your own photo and it can't be NSFW but otherwise, go nuts 😁

I've never done cover pages before, my entries have always just run on one from the next, but I fell into the habit of doing a doodle calendar, then it expanded to two pages, then I needed to fill a blank page so the calendar would be on a single spread...

You know, the usual evolution of journaling, haha.

I really wish I knew more about this stuff, but every time I switch from Local to Subscribed Malwarebytes gives me a popup warning me that lemmy.world is compromised and blocked (even though I'm still seeing posts from communities there) but that's all it's telling me. Should I be avoiding that instance?

When I remember I add bits and pieces to my journal (I go through stages and then forget to collect stuff). I mostly use double-sided tape from the paint department at my local hardware store but I have a bottle of clear Elmers glue too, since I've seen that recommended quite a bit.

I used the glue to add some business cards from a local restaurant, only they were gloss cards and the glue gave out completely within a week, leaving a nice glossy expanse of nothing.

What do you use to add things to your journal? Any brand you swear by, or would avoid like the plague?

I think it was only the second time I've sat down to stitch this year so have a bit of catching up to do! Pattern is A Crazy Wonderful Owl Family by HAED.

This link popped up in my RSS feed today and it looks really promising - the writer is looking more at the how-to side of journaling than sharing pretty pictures.
