I would like to invite everybody from now until the end of May to take photographs on any theme that they like. And then I encouraged all to post those photographs in their blog. You could have one blog or more throughout the month of May in participation in this event. I would like to call this event, "GAIA GAIA PHOTO MAIA". We all know what Gaia means and the word photo. Maia is a goddess from whom the name of the month of May may have been derived. One criteria though is the photographs you will be posting are the ones you have taken after reading this blog. Do not use your previous works. Then when you post your photos in your blog, you can include poetry or any meditations and reflections you may have. Then I suggest for those doing this to put the word, "maia", in their blog tag so that we can see all the blogs in one column and see the photos of those who participated. How? Well when we make a link like this it will work,

You can type up the same address above in all your blogs pertaining to this month long photography celebration so that you have a handy link to see what others have come up with and then comment on each other's posts.. You can even have party in your blog for your photography exhibit. Be creative and imaginative.
This is an open invitation to all whether you are a professional or amateur photographer. The idea is to have fun, foster friendships, raise awareness thru our photographs, and promote photography as a hobby. You can use any kind of camera especially digital camera and even your cell phone camera.
Oh and one fun challenge, I suggest for anybody who can to take a picture of anything on May 11, 2008 Sunday at 1:00 pm Pacific Standard Time. Then when you post it put a caption that you took that at such date and time. Thank you!

Now I will click on the link below occasionally to see who has their own entries so far. If nothing, I will still make my own creative journeys.

Samme, you have SUCH GOOD ideas! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us and getting us to be creative, too! I'm on it! Will start tomorrow! :)
Namaste Martha! Thank you and same 2 u. Have fun!
U know what? I'm screwing up! I haven't taken a single picture yet. I had such good intentions. But I'll commit myself to trying tomorrow. It's very busy right now. Last week of school. I'm not sure what's going on…
Beautiful picture of you Martha on your icon for today. Bless your heart and all the teachers in the world who are committed to impart knowledge to the world. We salute you.
