Do you like taking pictures of your family and your life? Are you intimidated by some photography sites that assume a certain skill level?
At Daily Window, the goal is to inspire you to pick up your camera and try something new. No photography snobbery, special equipment or technical knowledge is required!
Hi. My name is Lynda!
I’ve always loved photography and having children made me realize the value of being able to take great pictures all the time. This triggered me to take out my camera and really learn how to use it. My passion for blogging, combined with my giddiness for photography caused me to create this site. I love helping others, especially when it comes to technical stuff.
Here’s a video!
This is my very first vlog! I learned a little from it and wrote some tips for YOUR first vlog. Join in the fun!
I don’t claim to be an expert at photography and certainly not Photoshop. I’m learning just like you!
Professionally, I’m an analyst and writer specializing for over ten years in technical training documentation and tutorials. I’m trained to present information clearly, minimizing confusion. The articles you’ll find on this blog reflect this.
If you ever have a question, please feel free to ask in the comments, on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Formspring or anywhere else you might see me around the net. I’ll be happy to help or point you in the right direction.
Let’s both take a journey together to take better pictures!

Use of Others’ Work

I also use a lot of my husband‘s photos. He takes pictures pretty frequently and has been leaving the camera on manual and taking my guidance when setting up his shots. I think he’s a great photographer too! When I use his photos, I credit him and usually include a link to more entries featuring his photos.
For some articles, I use peers’ photos which are All Rights Reserved and I’ve been given specific permission to use the shot for that purpose by the artist.
For other articles I find Creative Commons or public domain images to use. These are indicated with a photo credit, the artist’s name and link. I take special care not to use stuff that isn’t licensed, so if you’re upset with my use of your photo, please let me know and I will take it down. (And also, please re-examine your open licensing of the photo.)

About digitalwoe.com
Perhaps you noticed the name of my site and its domain name are two entirely different things. I know this isn’t really considered the best marketing tactic. I bought the domain name in 2001 and it’s housed dozens of journals, blogs, forums and photo galleries in its time. The name of the content on this site has never really matched the domain name. It’s just how I roll.
