Can I get personal with you?
The Bender Photography blog is generally about studio photography, portraiture, senior pictures and other stuff that we do at our studio in Stroudsburg. You can read about what is happening here in the blog.
But there’s a personal side to my photography, too. And it happens on a daily basis. For the past six months or so I’ve been posting my personal photos in the albums of my Facebook profile. I’ve posted a couple of the better ones here for you to take a peek at. You can look at all of them by following this link:

The albums are called “Photo Diem”, which is my term for “A picture a day”. It has been a great little challenge and is very rewarding. As you might imagine, it is difficult to find something new to photograph within the daily grind of life. But it forces me to look at things differently and to slow down a little.
Photo Diem has also found a nice little following of folks

who look for the images every day. They comment and hit the “like” button for their favorites. That’s pretty nice! And it keeps me going! Yay!
I encourage anyone who is interested in photography to take a picture a day. You don’t have to show them to the world, but you will find that after a while you will be looking at things differently. And that can be a good thing!
